Those executives were the samurai of ninth-century Japan, and their rigid code of ethics, known as \u003ci\u003ebushido\u003c\/i\u003e, was one of the most effective frameworks for management in history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Code of the Executive\u003c\/i\u003e is business adviser Don Schmincke's modern interpretation of the Code of the Samurai—ancient wisdom written for today's corporate warriors.
