Organizational Culture and Organizational Commitment in the Parent Unit in Japan

Abstract

This chapter describes Study A of quantitative analysis related to the research design. In Study A the characteristics of the value-components of organizational culture and commitment, and the degree of relationship between them as observed in the parent unit in Japan for this Japanese company, Shogun, were examined. The analysis provided in this chapter creates the benchmark for our further comparison analysis for Thai and Indian subsidiaries. Without having a benchmark for that comparison it is not possible to analyze organizational culture and its components in the subsidiaries from the perspective of the transmission of organizational culture from headquarters to the subsidiaries. Thus, it is important to know what factors are comprising the variable of the research model and whether there is a link between these variables in the parent unit in Japan.
