Nixon's mandate was a tall order for one of the smallest agencies in the federal establishment. Set up in 1961, OEP's primary duty is preparing for civilian defense in case of nuclear attack. It has been given the additional jobs of stockpiling strategic materials and coordinating disaster relief...

Their development is a tribute to Ibuka's inventiveness and Sony's highly flexible operating methods. The company, says Morita, is not constricted by a formal research and development budget; it simply pours as much money as seems necessary into a promising idea. Sony's top managers also frequently tear up the organization table, assigning people from throughout the company to work on what looks like the next...
