US companies are generally a better bet though, because despite the handicap of being run by Americans, they are hosted in a country that generally believes in freedom and rule of law which means they have an unfair advantage even if they do a sub-par job of making the most of what they have.
Exceptions abound in the details.
Hence, every action of a company needs to be measured against the upcoming quarterly results.
OKRs et al are great at that.
Who cares about quality/sustainabily. We just want the stock go wheeeeee and get our bonuses.

Where Deming reads like a science paper, Drucker reads like an installation guide.

Deming requires quite a bit of knowledge and understanding in failure/success modes. The core tenet of Deming is that every output is a result of some process and, therefore, output is controlled by controlling* the process itself. Look at your process and tackle failure modes in this priority list.
Drucker, on the other hand, puts the process under the fog of war and basically says deploy pressure on process outputs and let the process adjust itself. It requires much less understanding behind the processes to make sense.
* - Process control in Deming is mostly about variability.
