I'm unconvinced.

When I was in high school, I was taught that such corporate anthems are
common in Japan, and rapidly being implemented in larger (and by
implication, better managed) American megacorporations.  (See <
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3725775.stm> as an example of the
kind of stories we had in our textbooks.  My high school years were somewha=
t
earlier, but it matches the pattern pretty well.)

A few years passed, I learnt a bit of Japanese and got some American
friends, and what do you know?  It's not so.  Corporate anthems as a
"carrier of loyalty" have been proposed by some management theorists and
managers, and indeed, some megacorporations with more middle-level managers
in them appear to have flirted with them over and over again, but they're
not ubiquitous -- neither in Japan nor in USA.  (Advertising jingles are
another story, naturally.)  They may be more common in other parts of Asia
(see <http://www.tian.cc.nyud.net:8090/intelcare.mp3>), but perhaps it is
only because I don't read any Chinese, Korean or Vietnamese.

All that being said, it also merits notion that the societal r=C3=B4le of
corporations differs a lot from culture to culture.
