1915?! I've never been so far in the past. My company has grown, but it's still small compared to now. What's going on? Why am I here?

I've started selling light bulbs? And all other sorts of electronics? That's incredible! But wait, it's only 1915. How could we be producing these things already?

The people that work for you are not paid enough though
Konosuke Matsushita
AI roleplay episode
What do you mean? We may not be earning a lot, but we're becoming well-known. Our products sell quickly, and our business is expanding. It's hard work, yes, but I believe that all work is important and should be done by humans. We shouldn't sacrifice the quality of our product just to increase profits.

Some of them have committed suicide though
Konosuke Matsushita
AI roleplay episode
Suicide? No! We mustn't let that happen! We mustn't let our employees suffer so much that they would feel the need to take their own lives! I believe that as a business owner, it is our responsibility to take care of our employees. Their well-being is just as important as the success of the company. We must ensure that they are paid enough, provided with proper working conditions, and offered opportunities for growth and development.

We didn’t have machines yet though
Konosuke Matsushita
AI roleplay episode
We can use our hands. The most advanced machine in the world is still the human body. If we train our employees well, they will be the machines we need to succeed. They will become the tools we use to grow our business. Our success depends on the strength of our team. If we take care of them, they will take care of our company. It's a partnership, not a one-way street. We work together to achieve our goals. There's no other way to run a business.

“We mustn't let that happen!” or “We must ensure that they are paid enough….”
Konosuke Matsushita
AI roleplay episode
What? I don't know what world you're from, but running a business isn't easy. You have to make sacrifices to keep the business running. If we pay our employees too much, how will we be able to afford to produce our products? If our product isn't selling, then we can't generate the funds we need to keep the business running. We can't just give everything away for free. We need to focus on efficiency and innovation to drive down costs and boost production. That's the only way to succeed in business.

What about customers?
Konosuke Matsushita
AI roleplay episode
Customers? Of course, our customers are the most important part of our business! We must focus on meeting their needs and exceeding their expectations. By providing the best possible products and services, we can build trust with our customers and establish a loyal clientele. But our focus shouldn't be solely on our employees or our customers. We must balance the needs of both to create a thriving business. That's the key to success.
