Production process was upgraded to an advanced level in which automation became widespread. Moreover, the volume of service industry gradually surpassed goods production in many developed countries. us, employees had to be more customer-focused and technically qualified. Consequently, skilful and well- trained employees preferred independent working conditions. Organizational culture, as a way of controlling employee behaviour, allows members to use their judgment, and act more freely within de ned organizational norms. Once members of the organizations cultivated with organizational values, close supervision will be redundant.

After the devastation experienced by Japan following the 2nd World War, Japan’s reborn as an economic power found to be related to the Japanese management style. Globalization which is generally equated with getting rid of economic, political, cultural, and technological barriers led to an increase in awareness and curiosity in the global west for the east. It was self-evident that Japanese miracle was mostly related to the Japanese cultural value system and its reflections within Japanese organizations. Other countries also tried to understand and encapsulate these re ections for themselves, and hence the interest in the cultural aspect of organizations tend to strengthen. The correct answer is Choice E.
