Healthy Culture and Unhealthy Culture

Corporate culture is the personality of a company and its identity. In Japan's case, the leading culture was formed early in its history and is called the Kami Way. Thus this study argues that corporate culture is of a four-level structure with the leading culture of the nation at its deepest level. The work includes case studies of healthy and unhealthy cultures - the House of Mitsui and the House of Kohnoike. It also addresses the thinking behind the Internet, explains how to interpret it, and examines how the organization of W.L. Gore and Associates, Inc. is similar to that thinking.
