This study conducted an original survey targeting companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) in response to the growing importance of generative AI as a key management issue for Japanese businesses. Responses were received from 273 firms, representing 7.1% of all TSE-listed firms, and the relationship between the utilization of generative AI and the development of digital culture within organizations was analyzed. The overall use of generative AI was found to be limited, with particular delays in areas such as customization and performance measurement. A correlation between the use of generative AI and organizational digital culture was observed, suggesting the potential for further analysis in future research.

With the ongoing transformation of business and society by digital technology, including breakthroughs in AI, there is an urgent need to study its organisational and managerial implications. Focusing on the concept of "digital cultural capital," we have studied the relationship between IT investment, digital cultural capital, and firm performance in Japanese firms. In this paper, we examine the approach to organizing the concept of digital cultural capital and applying it to management information systems research, drawing on the work of Pierre Bourdieu, who conceived the concept of "cultural capital," and the work of Ollier-Malaterre et al. who extended cultural capital to "digital cultural capital." By revisiting the concept of digital cultural capital, we aim to provide a foundation for organisational research in the digital age.
