Toyota's New President

The Grandson, Akio Toyoda, of Toyota's founder just took over as president of the company.

Wow, would I have loved being in that family.  To have a job because of family, where does that happen now a days, do you get your momma's Mcdonald's job when she "retires", nope.  Or how about your dad's tech job, nope that got sent overseas.

But this is serious, this is the top auto company, and a new president.  In this article:

It says Toyota needs new fresh ideas, and maybe this man has them.  

What I have read about Japanese companies is that they forecast decades into the future.  So the ideas would already be there right?
