This is a company with over 40,000 employees and a market cap of over $100b. Surely they would have opened offices in different countries if Dutch culture was holding them back.

They are just a domestic flight away from Eastern Europe. And just a train ride away from London.

Just because they won a golden ticket selling products based on US research given to them, in a market impossible to enter by new players, is no proof their culture is superior to other companies. It could be they were at the right palce right time.

Pretty sure Nokia also though their corporate culture was superior when the iPhone dropped due to their huge market cap in the phone business.

They do have offices is many other countries other than NL.
