"Tomas Bata and Bata-System of management are not well known today even though their success and heritage value are undisputed and awe-inspiring in the New Economy. T. Bata died in 1932 in a plane crash. By the time of his death he had introduced fundamental changes in management philosophy and techniques. Many of Bata approaches have been âdiscoveredâ during the last 20 years by the Western World as part of what has become known as the âQuality Revolutionâ. Quality management was practiced by the Bata enterprises since before the World War I, through 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, well before the âgurus of qualityâ even started thinking about the subject. Japanese visitors came to Zlin to learn about the Bata system well before the World War II. In addition, Bata executives traveled to Japan in 1937 and predicted the industrial rise of Japan at that time."
