There was a wonderful article in the July/Aug 07 Harvard Business Review magazine with Watanabe, president of Toyota. (I've actually got that edition here on my desk ;) Their ability and commitment to measure nearly every aspect of production and processes is pretty amazing. This is very relevant in the space of tech companies and startups: Measure! Measure! Measure! (anything and everything from site analytics and bug reports to closing a sales cycle with clients) The term 'Corporate Culture' gets thrown around a lot, but I think Toyota has done a great job of preserving & innovating their culture. Being as big as they are, that is a huge achievement.
