I can answer this question, Japan is an ascription based culture. It prevails that in work place everyone follows order from higher up. The board room, the project manager has one set goal, one vision and the whole company pursues it. Unfortunately, the older generation, those who are high up in corporate hierarchy are reluctant to change, against taking risks and prefers to pursue what has worked before.
Innovation is stunted in a way that the younger generation, who could potentially bring about a new perspective into the industry is unable climb up the ranks to be able to get their ideas into fruition. Basically, in Japan presenting a different idea to what has been laid out before you by your boss is akin to taboo in the work place. It is incredibly frown upon and you could lose your job without any explanation.
The management is also far out of touch with the public as well.
