Based on more than thirty interviews and case studies among Japanese companies in Spain, the investigation reveals twenty important cultural factors. They all closely relates to the origins of these companies, as well as to the extraordinary and singular history of Japan, the Land of the Rising Sun.
The book brings us on a journey that spans over three eras: the Tokugawa Shogunate, the Meiji Restoration and the period following World War II. At the same time, it tells the story about the birth of a multitude of companies that today are famous all over the world. It also shows how their founders’ values have had a multifaceted and everlasting impact on corporate culture in these companies.
