There is a meaningful linkage between the two concepts of competitiveness and corporate culture. Companies define the times we live in. Their outlook of the world their modes of thinking and their ethics reflect their own culture and the society?s. In that sense the significance of corporate culture cannot be emphasized enough. In Japan?s case as far as culture goes the ?Kami Way? is the leading element. The Kami Way can be a foundation for the strength of a company. It is the secret to the success of many Japanese companies. It is not a religion not a dogmatic philosophy but an accumulation of human intelligence. With some formalism and rituals left out the essence of the Kami Way can be transferred to any other country.
