It is human-oriented management.<br \/>\nSeeing, however, the two are contradicting each other, I dare to say &#8220;Damon&#8217;s hand&#8221; should be prioritized than &#8220;Buddha&#8221;.

With this philosophy I am convinced that management should be to strive the ultimate harmony for both polarities, and to realize the primitive happiness of the human beings for our customers and staffs.<\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neuron.ne.jp\/english\/wp-content\/themes\/neuron_english\/company\/img\/president\/ti_h3_03.gif\" alt=\"Ideology: Just Justice!
