Hi All, Despite the silence from academe regarding the MOQ, and regardless of the general decline in American cultural values, from maligned corporations comes a note of hope.
According to an article in today's NY Times at: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/06/technology/06unbox.html business is beginning to tap into the imaginative and aesthetic power of the right brain -- recognizing what Pirsig has been preaching for years, namely, that left-brain S/O thinking has produced many good things, but Quality is what really makes the world go round. Read this excerpt from the article and see if it doesn't ring your MOQ bell: "When General Motors hired Robert A. Lutz in 2001 to whip its product development into shape, he told the New York Times about his new approach. 'It's more right brain. It's more creative,' he said. 'I see us as being in the art business,' he said, 'art, entertainment and mobile sculpture, which coincidentally, also happens to provide transportation.' "When a car company like G.M. is the the art business, every company in any other industry is, too." Yes, my friends. Pursuing the "aesthetic continuum," the heart of the MOQ message, is beginning to gain traction. The free market proves its Dynamic Quality again! The next step if for business leaders to catch up with the metaphysical foundation of their new world view. ZMM and Lila should be required reading in MBA programs.
