Abstract

Seemingly non-transferable culture has gone overseas and is active. The overseas transfer of Japanese companies involves the carrying abroad of Japan’s successful experiences, and these experiences are introduced via the employee who has been sent abroad. This individual is unaware that he has taken abroad the company culture that is within him. There are, of course, those instances in which this is intentionally done, because the confidence that results from his successful experience with that model makes him do it. And, the transfer of experience is the same as the transfer of culture. That is, the transfer of the individual is the transfer of experience, and here unfolds a story of the transfer of culture. This story makes the experience more human. Hence is generated the need to seek another measure that goes beyond existing controls and traditions because of the mismatching of experiences at the foreign site when the company sends its culture overseas.
