"The Longevity of the Japanese Big
Businesses"
Though survival is important to firms,
especially to the Japanese big
businesses, there are few empirical studies
on their longevity. This
paper conducts the statistical analysis on
the longevity of the Japanese
big businesses using data on 1,273 listed
firms in the first section of
Japanese big businesses may go beyond a
century on average, and the
longevity had increased gradually in the
post-WWII period. These
findings suggest that the Japanese big
businesses are stable. This paper
also explores the relationship between this
stability and the Japanese
corporate systems.
Keyword: Longevity, Japanese big
businesses, corporate systems

"The Reproduction of Hofstede Model"
G. H. Hofstede
(1980) Culture's Consequences is a result of an extensive
research on the international comparison of
corporate culture in 40
countries through 1967 to 1973. Hofstede identified four dimensions of
culture from the investigation data of
IBM's 40 subsidiaries. He
developed four indices, but did not
explicitly present the exact
computation formulas for Individualism
index and Masculinity index. This
paper reproduces the formulas and proves
how to conduct a factor
analysis that Hofstede
employed for development of these indices.
Hereafter, supplementary analysis could be
done using all four indices
of Hofstede. Also
a factor analysis could be done in Hofstede's method.
Keyword: Hofstede,
dimensions of culture, factor analysis
