The Japanese firm Matsushita has a business philosophy from the strong founder Konosuke. This business philosophy was codified as the "Seven Spiritual Values" of Matsushita that all employees learn today. These values are (1) national service through industry, (2) fairness, (3) harmony and cooperation, (4) struggle for betterment, (5) courtesy and humility, (6) adjustment and assimilation, and (7) gratitude. Explain how this influence of culture can effect organizational processes such as the nature of policies and procedures, planning and control, information processing and communication, and decision-making. Japanese being pride-full in their excellence Matusushita used this to his advantage to create the "Seven Spiritual Values". Within each one a personal self-responsibility, awareness and performance is enveloped. They create expectations that employees must achieve. Also I looked at the creed that co-inside with these values: Progress and development can be realized only through the combined efforts and cooperation of each member of the Company. Each of us, therefore, shall keep this idea constantly in mind as we devote ourselves to the continuous improvement of our Company.
