    Corporate culture the real villain here
  • The financial crash 7 years ago led senior managers to impose unrealistic performance targets.

    There was a 'corporate culture' within Toshiba where one could 'not go against the wishes of superiors.'

    When higher management put forth 'challenges', division presidents, line managers and employees under them carried out disproportionate accounting practices to achieve targets to comply with the wishes of their bosses.
