In the absence of Tomas Bata's tragic death in 1932, he would become President of Czechoslovakia after T.G. Masaryk The example that Bat'a has provided the world with is proof that capitalism can be done differently. Class consciousness, class hatred and class struggle are concepts that the Zlin labor community never knew. In the Bat'a organization, all employees from high to low had an interest that was of equal significance. That interest was to obtain as large a production as possible, of good quality products at the lowest possible price  (a system that could be applied within a government to offer the best services most efficiently). To approach this objective, each individual is primarily dependent on his own labor power. In addition, however, he is also heavily dependent on everyone else and in this remarkable combination of individuality and collectivity lies the secret of the industrial harmony at Bat'a (or what has been referred to as the Bata Hymm of Work, an organization in motion). The make up of the people of Zlin was by nature no better and no worse than elsewhere, and if labor does take place in the context of a disturbance-free community, then it is only because everyone knows for himself that by delivering the highest quality work, he has served his own interest in the best possible way.
