Abstract:

Recently I saw a corporate TV advertisement for the American television network ABC. It showed brief shots of people in other countries—France, Japan, Russia and so on. These people were doing all kinds of things, but they weren't watching television. Americans, the commentary told us, watch more TV than any of these people. Yet America is the richest, most innovative, most productive nation on the planet. ‘A coincidence’, concluded the wry, confident voice, ‘we don't think so’.

Abstract:

Subject. The military-industrial complex is one of the core industries in any economy. It ensures both the economic and global security of the State. However, the economic security of MIC enterprises strongly depends on the State and other stakeholders. Objectives. We examine key factors of corporate culture in terms of theoretical and practical aspects. The article identifies the best implementation of corporate culture that has a positive effect on the corporate security in the MIC of the USA, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Japan ans China. Methods. The study employs dialectical method of research, combines the historical and logic unity, structural analysis, traditional techniques of economic analysis and synthesis. Results. We performed the comparative analysis of corporate culture models and examined how they are used by the MIC corporations with respect to international distinctions. Conclusions and Relevance. The State is the main stakeholder of the MIC corporations, since it acts as the core customer represented by the military department. It regulates and controls operations. The State is often a major shareholder of such corporations. Employees are also important stakeholders. Hence, trying to satisfy stakeholders' needs by developing the corporate culture, corporations mitigate their key risks and enhance their corporate security.

Abstract:

As one of the world’s poorest countries in the world 30 years ago, South Korea proved its remarkable economic development. Within three decades, South Korea’s economic development shot up and attracted international attention. The economic strength in South Korea is supported by several global corporations such as Samsung, LG, Hyundai and others. The corporations have South Korea’s “ala” power, chaebol. Chaebol itself is similar to keiretsu in Japan, which global corporations are run by families and are hereditary. As time goes by, South Korea with its corporate culture does provide many advantages for South Korea as a whole, but this condition does not last forever. Not on the decline in revenues to South Korea’s economy, but the scandal of some global corporations in South Korea, especially Samsung raises new questions, should the South Korean Corporate culture be changed in the future? This question will be answered and explained in this paper. The author will explain through the history of the Korean corporate culture that is influenced by Confucianism, Samsung’s history to become a global corporate power for South Korea as well as an analysis of corporate governance on the economic situation in South Korea.

Abstract:

Purpose This study draws upon the cultural values model, institutional theory and comparative capitalism to investigate differences in organizations’ approach to stakeholder management across country boundaries. Design/methodology/approach The authors developed a multi-dimensional scale, following the stakeholder culture framework (Jones et al., 2007) to identify differences in the prevalent stakeholder cultures in the USA, Italy and Japan. Data were collected in form of a questionnaire from managers of 530 companies in the USA, Italy and Japan. Findings Results show that there are important differences in the extent to which different stakeholder cultures exist in each of these three countries, and that the prevalence of stakeholder culture types in each country is influenced by the country’s cultural values and institutional arrangements. Originality/value Understanding stakeholder management beyond the conventional firm level to a wider institutional setting has important implications for the dissemination of corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices across cultures. Developing an understanding of how organizations’ stakeholder management approaches are embedded in the context of the institutional arrangements that exist in a particular country will lead to CSR practices that are better suited to the specific national context. It may also help in a more widespread acceptance of these concepts and practices.

Abstract:

Japan is a high income economy country and scored well in terms of CPI index. Since Malaysia’s intention is to move towards a high income economy there is much to learn from SMEs in Japan. A study was conducted on 17 SMEs in Japan and data collection includes survey and interviews. Amongst lessons learned are that SMEs in Japan place a great respect on seniority and they treat their business as one family. SMEs in Japan also place high importance on customer satisfaction, they do not believe in “quick wins” and will ensure that expansion of business is made progressively. They also view preserving traditional culture as one of their responsibility. One of the challenges they faced are the declining sales due to the lesser number of tourists in Japan and declining demand of traditional products. Success of SMEs in Japan is partly because of the ability of the government in Japan to “make the blue collars’ conditions equal to the white collars,” especially involving the expanded application of monthly-payment, life-time employment, seniority-based payment and promotion system in SMEs similar to large corporation.

Abstract:

This study seeks to understand the scope and types of public relations practices in Japan, how public relations practices of Japanese and foreign companies differ, how media respond differently to the public relations activities of Japanese and foreign companies, and how "foreignness" affects public relations activities of multinational enterprises in Japan. The sole academic journal in the field of public relations in Japan and the single commercially published public relations industry magazine were submitted to an empirical content analysis. Additionally, three cases of contest for corporate control, two of which were between an American activist fund and a Japanese company, and one between a Japanese investment fund and a Japanese company, were analyzed using a case study approach. Press releases and newspaper articles about these cases were also content analyzed. The results show that among public relations activities, crisis category appeared the most frequently in the public relations industry journal and corporate communication category appeared the most frequently in the public relations academic journal. The analysis of the cases shows that the American fund at first faced problems communicating with its stakeholders but improved its communication activities in subsequent years with better results. The content analysis of the press releases shows that American fund uses more quotes and persuasive messages in the press releases and Japanese newspapers do not treat domestic and foreign entities differently. The overall results confirm the importance of culture in public relations practices.

Abstract:

The relevance of the research is due to the increasing impact of socio-cultural factors on doing business in many international companies. The purpose of the research: to compare the cultural characteristics of Russia, Japan and Germany and determine their impact on doing business in international companies. The research object is the activity of international companies. The subject of the research is the socio-cultural factors that impact the conduct of business in international companies. Having identified economic factors using the method of Daniel Denison, we assess their impact on the economic factors that determine the success of large international companies in each of the countries by means of the correlation and regression analysis. Thus, we come to the conclusion that the most significant socio-cultural factors that impact the economic activity of companies include: involvement, consistency, adaptability and mission. These factors most fully describe the activities of the company's employees (the corporate environment, internal and external interaction) which in turn create the company's success. The practical significance of the research is determined by the fact that the data obtained can be used by international companies while doing business in Russia, Germany and Japan.
Актуальность исследования обусловлена все возрастающим влиянием социокультурных факторов на ведение бизнеса во многих международных компаниях. Цель исследования: выполнить сравнение культурных особенностей России, Японии и Германии и определить их влияние на ведение бизнеса в международных компаниях. Объектом исследования является деятельность международных компаний. Предметом исследования являются социокультурные факторы, оказывающие влияние на ведение бизнеса в международных компаниях. Выделив экономические факторы по методике Дениела Денисона, посредством корреляционного и регрессионного анализа мы оценили их влияние на экономические факторы, определяющие успешность деятельности крупных международных компаний каждой из стран. Таким образом, мы пришли к выводу, что, к наиболее значимым социокультурным факторам, влияющим на экономическую деятельность компаний, относятся: вовлеченность, согласованность, адаптивность и миссия. Эти факторы наиболее полно описывают деятельность сотрудников компании (корпоративную среду, внутреннее и внешнее взаимодействие), которые в свою очередь создают успех компании. Практическая значимость исследования определяется тем, что полученные данные можно использовать при ведении бизнеса с международными компаниями России, Германии, Японии.

Abstract:

This chapter explores the shifting yet resilient meanings and motivations of participating in corporate outings for workers in twenty-first-century Japan. It centers on hostess clubs that show how spaces continue to represent both the culture of care and business relationships in corporate Japan and the mediation of gender ideologies for workers facing the new pressures of neoliberalizing workplaces. It also draws on the participant observation of three hostess clubs in Ginza, such as the expensive Club Ai, the international club Class A, and the midrange Club Sumire. The chapter follows the narratives and experiences of salarymen and hostesses after work in the contexts of increasingly competitive economic conditions. It narrows spheres of corporate welfare and changing norms of gender and family in twenty-first-century Japan.

Abstract:

This chapter examines how Lawson, a convenience store chain in Japan has taken a different approach in utilizing Twitter. This chapter begins with the background of the retail sector in Japan, specifically the convenience store industry as well as a brief description of cute culture. The key elements of Lawson's Twitter account are explored accordingly. Using elements from Esch, Langner, Schimitt & Geus' (2006) general model of branding components and relationship to micro blogging, a study was conducted to examine the current and future purchase intentions. While social media proved to help differentiate Lawson from its competitors, it was not the main factor in generating brand loyalty. The findings show that not all followers displayed purchase intentions. The results also identified a gap between the perceptions of Lawson's Twitter account versus the overall corporate brand. This provides the foundation for further research activities in developing more effective methods of maximizing Twitter in enhancing customer experience and subsequently increasing brand equity and loyalty.

The purpose of this study is to ascertain the CSR factors influencing consumers' loyalty and see if there are cultural differences and similarities. A research model was developed based upon existing research theory and tested the model by collecting data using an online survey instrument. The survey yielded usable response: 320 consumers in Japan, 1049 consumers in China and 528 consumers in the Philippines comparing the results among the three East Asian countries. Significant differences were found in some of the CSR factors, specifically where CSR advocacy was an important factor across all countries strongly influencing loyalty. Differences included hypocrisy to trust in China is not significant, whereas awareness to hypocrisy was not strong in Japan. Advocacy has a strong impact on reputation in China.

Abstract:

This chapter begins with a brief historicization of salarymen from the late 1800s to the early 1990s. It focuses on the formation of the socioeconomic category of the New Middle Class and the cultural production of the new middle-class orientation within Japan's economic and industrial structure. It also traces the historical trajectory through which the modern configuration of welfare, work, and family emerged in prewar Japan and then took new shape in postwar Japan through the fractious struggle of workers and management. The chapter examines how the particular construction of the new middle class as a lived experience has been articulated through the socioeconomic category of the new middle class. It situates the contemporary discourse of neoliberal economic reforms within the historical development of Japanese corporate governance and Japanese capitalism.

Abstract:

The long and complex history between China and Japan, and in particular the “negative heritage” of the Second World War, has effectively alienated the two countries and led to a pervasive culture of anti-Japanese sentiment throughout China. Following the violent demonstrations of 2005, this anti-Japanese sentiment has also had an effect on the economic prospects of Japanese corporations, creating apprehension over the future of Japanese corporate and trade relations in China. All of this has forced Japanese companies seeking to expand their businesses abroad to grapple with the unique challenges of operating within the highly politicized environment of Chinese nationalism. This begs the question: how should Japanese corporations respond to Chinese nationalism in pursuing their business objectives? Based on field research conducted in 2007, this chapter begins with an analysis of the impact of Chinese nationalism on the commercial prospects of Japanese businesses with operations in China, goes on to discuss the importance of “business-society relations” for the localization of Japanese corporations in the Chinese market, and concludes by recommending strategies for social engagement that deal effectively with these issues. Still, the success of any such strategy ultimately depends on whether China's market economy continues to develop in the face of harsh political conditions and growing social unrest. To date, only a handful of studies have addressed the impact of business-society relations on the economic performance of Japanese corporations operating in China. This chapter is an attempt to fill that gap.

Sklair, Leslie. "Two Types of Iconic Architecture." In The Icon Project. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190464189.003.0007.

Full text

Abstract:

The debate around iconic architecture has been undermined by the general failure to recognize that there are and probably always have been two forms of iconicity in terms of fame and symbolic/ aesthetic significance. These are (1) unique icons (buildings recognized as works of art in their own right) and (2) typical icons (buildings successfully copying elements of unique icons). My argument in this book is that the transnational capitalist class mobilizes these two distinct but related forms to promote an ideological message, identified here as the culture-ideology of consumerism. This is what I mean by the Icon Project. The rise of iconic architecture can be explained in parallel with the decline of monumental architecture. Since the end of the Second World War and the defeat of the fascist dictatorships in Europe and Japan, debate around monumentality as a public expression of architectural representation has moved on to new ground. Although it has by no means disappeared (conflating monumental with iconic is common), bombastic monumentality has become increasingly discredited as an architectural strategy for those in power. The breakup of the Soviet empire in the 1990s and the creation of new regimes in post-Soviet Eastern Europe and central Asia added some further, often contradictory, elements to the debate (Molnar 2013). Gradually, architectural iconicity began to replace monumentality as the central motif in these discussions. This chapter sets out to show how architectural iconicity has been socially produced by the corporate fraction of the transnational capitalist class in architecture and has begun to replace monumentality as a marker of the global hegemony of the dominant class. Iconicity in architecture (or indeed in any other field of endeavour) does not simply happen; it is the end result of deliberate practices created by specific people working in specific institutions. Architects often recall the local architectural icons of their childhood. Formal or informal socialization into the field of architecture appears to involve the recognition of architectural icons at all levels, brought to attention not only by teachers and mentors but also by the professional media of architecture and the general coverage of economic, political, and cultural news involving architecture and urban design in the mass media.

Abstract:

With the wide use of computer technology nowadays, organizational management in recent times appears to be more complex than it ever was. Electronic human resources management (e-HRM) has become a popular term in today’s organizations. Does this mean knowledge facilitator is better than a knowledge dictator or vice versa? The author of this article puts forward an indispensable dichotomy to discuss the interdependence and relationship of a knowledge facilitator and a knowledge dictator in order to determine effective training or management for human resources development (HRD) and human resources management practitioners in today’s organizations. Numerous studies (e.g., Grow, 1991; Jarvis, 2002a; Knowles, Holton, & Swanson, 1998, 2005; Rogers, 1951, 1961, 1969) have postulated that the knowledge facilitator is superior to the knowledge dictator in Western literature in that a knowledge facilitator is germane to learning whereas a knowledge dictator may well stifle learning in today’s organizations. Because Rogers (1961) defines growth not as a process of “being shaped,” but as a process of becoming, he maintains that we cannot teach another person directly, we can only facilitate the other person’s learning. After many years of providing corporate training in different organizations, Knowles, Holton, and Swanson (1998, 2005) replaced getting rewards for controlling students with getting rewards for releasing students. The latter rewards are much more satisfying because knowledge facilitators have positive assumptions about human learning whereas knowledge dictators have negative assumptions about human learning. However, in some other cultures such as in China, South Korea, Japan, or Singapore, scholars and practitioners may prove otherwise (Biggs, 1996). This may be due to the fact that the major determinant of the subservient role expected of a learner in collectivist Eastern cultures is the traditional hierarchical relationship between students and instructors (Hampden-Turner & Trompenaars, 2000); students expect their instructors to be unchallengeable figures (Wang, 2007). The issue of knowledge facilitator vs. knowledge dictator seems to be a perennial topic for scholars and researchers in all cultures. The open relationship between students and instructors in individualist Western cultures (Hampden-Turner & Trompenaars, 2000) encourages students to take charge of learning; scholars and practitioners in the West do not seem to agree with their counterparts in oriental cultures. Likewise, scholars and practitioners in the Eastern Hemisphere do not seem to buy into Western thinking on the premise that knowledge facilitator necessarily leads to effective learning (Wang, 2007). On the basis of this dichotomy, little agreement has been reached regarding whether a knowledge facilitator or a knowledge dictator is more needed in today’s organizations. Because of this dichotomy, subsequent research has been sparked to determine which side of the coin is conducive to learning.
