| curl-6 said: I didn't see anyone romanticising Japan's corporate culture per se, and from what I've read conditions are Nintendo are considered quite good. People more seemed to be criticising the way a lot of Western companies seem to lay off their employees in droves every time a quarter doesn't break records. (Or even when they do make record profits) There's something to be said for cultivating talent and hanging onto them, and it shows in Nintendo's continued success. |
I don't know about individual companies--though Japan has a lot of "black" companies--but I saw a couple of people praising Japanese business culture, including one talking about some kind of "loyalty and honor" nonsense.
Nintendo is actually a good example of both--assuming everything is great there now--because under Yamauchi they were as cutthroat as Microsoft.
No arguments about the "share price is all that matters" philosophy in the west, which pretty much ruined everything.
