Nihon Buhin Kaisha America (NBK America) is a subsidiary of Nihon Buhin Kaisha, a multinational Japanese company that manufactures various parts for a Japanese automobile company. After the recent economic collapse in the United States, the American branch failed to meet the production expectations set forth by the Japanese Headquarters. Therefore, it was decided that an American consultant should step in and offer help with examination of organizational culture and organizational development in the work environment.
