I think it's a mistake to anthropomorphize corporations. They are filled with people, some of whom are evil, some of whom are not, and some of whom are somewhere in between.

But there is such a thing as a set of corporate values independent of the people working in the corporation, and those values are not always good.

  Most of the time those corporate values are just marketing.

    I'm not talking about what companies publicly say their values are. That's obvious marketing nonsense. I'm talking about the values that inform their business decisions.

Hm. I think a person should probably stay wary of the limitations of anthropomorphizing a corporation, but it probably can work to a limited extent. To a limited extent, you can anthropomorphize entire countries with some degree of truth, or entire halves of the world. Eastern cultures lean a little more collectivist than Western cultures.
