Sammanfattning: Title: How does a corporate culture affect the way an organization is built in Sweden Level: Bachelor's degree thesis in business administration Author: Martin Wadia and Jonatan Holst Supervisor: Alice Schmuck Date: 2023 January Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the cultural aspect within an organization, how it affects organizational structure and when a company with a different corporate cultureconducts business in Sweden. We will examine how a Japanese company adapted itsorganization to cross-cultural differences and analyze whether hierarchy systems create valuefor them in a country where that culture is not as common. Method: This study was based on a qualitative research method. The primary data collectionis based on semi-structured interviews and written interviews. The secondary data collection isbased on business literature. Conclusion: This study concludes that the Japanese corporate culture does not affect the officethat is established in the Swedish market. At the same time as the company that is establishedin the Swedish market adapts as best it can to be able to fit in among other competitors. Thestudy has also concluded that the hierarchy has no influence in Sweden due to the nonaccepting Swedish culture. Contribution of the thesis: The study gives Japanese companies insight into what obstaclesmay arise in Sweden. At the same time, the studies contribute with more understanding of howcross-cultural situations are handled in Sweden. Suggestion for further research: Further research can conduct a multiple case study withseveral Japanese companies.
