What culture has Japanese-style corporate culture management absorbed from China?

Japanese-style corporate culture management mainly draws on and absorbs Confucian culture in China's traditional culture.

Confucian culture emphasizes harmony, respect, etiquette, team spirit and cooperation between superiors and subordinates, which has a great influence on Japanese enterprise management. For example, Japanese management emphasizes mutual respect and trust between leaders and employees, pays attention to teamwork, and makes decisions through collective wisdom and consultation. These characteristics are consistent with the principles of "benevolence", "rule by courtesy" and "moderation" emphasized in Confucian culture.

In addition, Japanese corporate culture is also influenced by Buddhist culture and Taoist culture, especially in terms of spiritual care for employees, work-life balance and corporate culture shaping. However, Confucian culture has a profound influence on the formation and influence of Japanese corporate culture.
