12. But the Japanese executives ignored warnings from employees that the boat had a leak.

The North Koreans--who were not only not in the race, but never even made a movie about it--claimed victory by default when the Japanese boat sank.

Seriously I've worked for a Japanese company...from a management perspective, there is not much difference. The Japanese winning the race in this scenario would be pure dumb luck, not management expertise. The reality is the race would be over by the time the Japanese executives finally decided on a cutesy name for their boat.
