I guess the solution would be to build a different company from the ground up and then shield against the common culture sneaking in. You would need to repeat it very often though. Or have a branch office of a non-japanese company.

I live in a small country and there are foreign companies and while they have to adjust to local laws and have mostly local employees, they still are culturally different from each other.

I wonder how GE with a strong central process and culture control is doing in Japan?

IBM does very well in Japan, or used to, so there might be something there.
