 Central Europe Review - Author Archive: Sean Hanley
Bata and his son Jan imported US-style mass production techniques and pioneering 'team work' practices into the Czech lands and transformed a smallish footwear enterprise in Zlin, in the East of today's Czech Republic, into an embryonic multinational conglomerate.
In 1945, the Bata factories were taken over by the state and later nationalised, although the company itself continued to exist abroad.
In the 1990s, many would-be Czech industrialists invoked Bata's social paternalism and the pride in the home-grown character of his empire as an excuse for running their newly privatised companies with high levels of overemployment backed by credit from stated-owned banks rather than foreign investment.

Rybka, who described how Tomas Bata learned to think of the marketplace first: In the first case he left for Vienna as a 15-year-old boy in 1891 having borrowed 30 florins from his sister to start and to run his own enterprise.
Bata, therefore, understood the marketplace in a much broader way than would be emphasized by only thinking of quality management tools and techniques or even the philosophy of quality. For Bata, being effective in the marketplace included treating the customer as "king", the marketplace meant more than just selling.
For Bata the system of internal transacting was more than a way to run the company; it was a way to train people to become fiscally responsible in their own lives.
