corporate headquarters of Toden, Hokuden, and kyuden. We ascertained how the public relations centers had changed from facilities for explaining the safety and generation of electricity to cultural tourist facilities for providing recreation and introducing local culture. We demonstrated how the logician's "poetic function" was bestowed and is contributing to the formation of hegemony.
Regarding the company's centripetal and centrifugal forces, in relation to "auxiliary duties in the organizational unit, " Hioki conducted research on auxiliary roles, which in the midst of organizational reform of the enterprise that allows no opportunity to assert one's own role, are becoming objects of re-organization.
In relation to the mobilization of religiuous elemnts in administration, as revealed by company commemorative observances and religious rituals, we conducted research at the Duskin and Hitachi Yaohan, as well as Fushimi Inari Shrine.
As the result of contivuing our investigative research into the second year, the existence of a field of research into company culture under the title "organizational anthropology" is becoming increasingly well-defined. Through the analysis of enterprise museums and religious ritual, we were able to demonstrate that the company's spiritual, cultural, and administrative aspects possess not just economic, but historical significance as well.
