1. It was 1992, a dark time for Honda Motor Company. Its founder, Soichiro Honda, had recently died.

Rumours were circulating that the company - maker of the best engineered Japanese cars - was about to br absorbed by its dreaded rival. Bills were piling up from the financial follies of the 1980s. The company had no new models and the Japanese economy was heading downhill. Nobuhiko Kawamoto, Honda's new boss, did something astonishing, painful, symbolic and central to the strategy that has brought Honda back to life. What was this surprising and significant act? 2. When he joined Honda in 1963, he wangled his way into the research department, so he could work on racing motorbikes and engines for racing cars. As a young board member, he was threatened with the sack for spending his time tinkering in the workshops and skipping board meetings. One of Honda's most original racing car designs was sketched on his doodle pad during a tedious board meeting. Who? 3. Charles Plank and Edward Rosinski together hold 159 US patents and have been inducted into the US National Inventors Hall of Fame. One of their key discoveries was that a synthetic catalyst could make this product yield far more of the end product than ever before. Which product, which end product? 4. Identify the person who said this: "I have had a partner - Charlie Munger - for a lot of years. You have to calibrate with Charlie, though, because Charlie says everything I do is dumb. If he says it's really dumb, I know it is, but if he just says it's dumb, I take that as an affirmative vote." 5. The year was 1950. She had brought a big bag filled with merchandise, and she set it up and was in business at Neiman Marcus. Stopping everyone who came in the door, she said, "Try this. I', ___________, and these are the most wonderful beauty products in the world." Who? Este Lauder, who founded the Este Lauder Co. Today (1998), it controls over 45% of the cosmetics market in US department stores - three times the volume of its closest competitor, 6. He is a self-made multi-billionaire CEO. He is obsessive about mopping up water puddles in the men's restroom, colleagues say. He has a slew of pets, including three dogs and six birds. His company features one of the loopiest corporate cultures, where "having fun" is an official goal. He has pinned up jumbo sized pictures of grinning employees all over the hallway at the company's corporate headquarters in Pleasanton, California. Who, and which company? 7. This famous person's political involvement came with its share of controversy. Most notably, in 1975 he spent six days giving lectures on public policy in Chile and had one brief meeting with the right-wing dictator Augusto Pinochet. The result was a storm of protest. When he was awarded the Nobel Prize the next year, public objections came from all directions, including previous prize winners Linus Pauling and David Baltimore. Who? 8. A by-product of World War II was the discovery of this soap like product by a famous consumer goods company. The product, made from a soap like molecule without the potentially irritating alkaline element, is a ph-neutral, mild cleansing product. This product was first introduced in the US in 1957. How do we know this

product? 9. In 1979, which famous software that sold millions of copies for the next five years, did a company named MicroPro introduce? 10. Three major companies dominate the dehydrated soups/sauces market in Europe. Two of them are Unilever (with its Bachelors and Blue Bond brands), and CPC (with its Knorr brand). Which is the third? 1.

Today (1998), it controls over 45% of the cosmetics market in US department stores - three times the volume of its closest competitor, L'Oral. 6. Dave Duffield, PeopleSoft. 7. Milton Friedman, one of the best-known economists of the twentieth century. 8. As Dove, the "beauty bar" from the Unilever Company. 9. WordStar, the popular computer word processor of the eighties. 10. Nestl, with its Maggi brand. 11. "This is a book about what happens to people when they are overwhelmed by change. It is about the ways in which we adapt - or fail to adapt - to the future". These are the opening lines for the introduction of which famous book? 12. In Wall Street slang, what are Bo Dereks and James Bonds? 13. IBM first coined this term in 1964 to describe a brand of typewriters. The MTST (Magnetic Tape "Selectric" Typewriter) boasted about this because it used magnetic tapes to store pages of text. What are we talking about? 14. One Dr. John H. Dressauer, the research director of his company, convinced his company to buy Carlson's patent rights. Which company did Dr.Dressauer belong to? 15. On October 22, 1938, Carlson and Kornei succeeded in producing the first-ever copy of this. For the experiment, Carlson inked the date and the word "Astoria" on a glass slide. Then, using his pocket handkerchief, he rubbed a sulphur-coated metal plate to give it a static charge. He attached the inked glass slide to the metal plate and exposed them under a flood lamp. When he dusted the plate with powder the inked inscription appeared. What first is being described here? 16. About fifty years after John Loud's patent of 1888, an improved version was invented in Hungary by Ladislas and his brother, Georg. What invention? 17. How do we better know the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company? 18. The first great success for this invention came on an October morning in 1945 when a crowd of over 5000 people jammed the entrance of New York's Gimbels Department Store. The day before, Gimbels had taken out a full-page ad in the New York Times promoting the first sale of these in the United States. On the first day of

sales, Gimbels sold out its entire lot of 10000 - at $12.50 each. What product are we talking about? 19. When World War I ended, so did the cotton shortage, and Kimberly-Clark began looking for new ways to sell Cellucotton. What product did this finally result in? 20. In the 1860s a gold miner named Alkali Ike had the habit of stuffing the Levis pants pockets with ore samples - so much so that the pockets would frequently rip open. Ike was constantly taking his Levis to his tailor, Jake Davis, to have them resewn. What invention did Jake Davis eventually come up with to solve the problem?

11. "Future Shock", by Alvin Toffler. 12. Bo Dereks are bonds that will mature in 2010 ( since these were issued when the movie "10" starring Bo Derek was doing the rounds in the theatres), and James Bonds are those that will mature in 2007. 13. Word Processing. 14. The Haloid Company, which later changed its name to Xerox Corporation. The patent in the question is the patent for xerography, held by Chester Carlson. 15. The first Xerox copy. 16. The Ballpoint pen. 17. As 3M. 18. The ballpoint pen. 19. In Kleenex. 20. After several resewings, Davis took Ike's torn pants to the local blacksmith and had him put rivets at the pocket corners. It worked, Davis later took his idea to Levi Strauss and they decided to become partners in a patent for Levi's pant with riveted pockets.
1. Who said the following things: "If I entered into an agreement with that man, I would be sticking my head in a moose"; "They always bite the hand that lays the golden egg"; "When I want your opinion, Ill give it to you"; "I had a great idea this morning, but I didnt like it". 2. In 1886, Richard Warren ___ was working for the Minneapolis & St.Louis Railroad. One of the jewellers in Minnesota refused to accept a large unsolicited consignment of watches, which Richard bought at $12 and sold at $14 (although the market price was $25). He made $5000 and started a watch company. To handle repairs, he advertised for a watchmaker and hired Alvah Curtis ___ of Hammond, Indiana. Name the two men.

3. Harry Moock, Vice President of Chrysler Corp., described the ideal man of a certain profession as "He should have the curiosity of a cat, the tenacity of a bulldog, the friendship of a little child, the diplomacy of a wayward husband, the patience of a self-sacrificing wife, the enthusiasm of a Sinatra fan, the assurance of a Harvard man, the good humour of a comedian, the simplicity of a jackass, and the tireless energy of a bill-collector." Which profession? 4. Wrigleys once airdropped 4 million chewing gum packets on Phillippines with this guys most famous statement on it. He was at one time chairman of Remington Rand. Who? 5.
