This book was released on 2023-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the world economy is facing serious difficulties such as now, the management of Japanese corporations is attracting attention from all over the world. In coping with rapid changes in the environment, Japanese management techniques and legal practices continue to change. In the era of internationalization, Japan and foreign countries have followed a path of convergence, despite differing traditions. By following this course, businesses both in Japan and abroad are expected to achieve greater progress in productivity, cost efficiency, and profit maximization, while maintaining good quality control. However, these Japanese stories are only partially known to the world. As one of the very few casebooks written in English on Japanese corporations, this book offers valuable insights into Japan's unique business culture and practices. The seven cases in this book include well-known Japanese corporations such as the Bank of Japan, Toyota, Sumitomo-Mitsui Bank, Saizeriya, and Toshiba. "The Toshiba Accounting Scandal: How Corporate Governance Failed" and "Negative Interest Rates: The Bank of Japan Experience" rank as "BESTSELLERS" in the Top 20 most popular cases at Harvard. These cases illustrate many of the key differences between Japan and the West that exist in the realm of corporate governance and finance. All in all, the book provides relevant and in-depth information on the current state of business in Japan.

Download or read book Corporate Social Responsibility and Corporate Finance in Japan written by Megumi Suto and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-24 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the linkages between the evolution of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate financing and governance in Japan since the late 2000s. Since the 1990s, increasing economic and financial globalization has steadily eroded the Japanese style of business based on relationships and influenced the awareness and practices of CSR that are unique to Japanese companies. In Japan’s two “lost decades” after the bubble economy, the business model and corporate financing seem to have continued a gradual financial reform toward a more market-oriented system. CSR awareness and practices of Japanese companies have been influenced by social and environmental issues that global society and communities face. Furthermore, the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011 triggered increasing attention paid to the responsibility of business toward society. In this process, major players in corporate governance and components of governance structure have continued to change. The conventional view of Japanese corporate governance and corporate finance is too narrow to understand this field in Japan. This book is based on empirical research to investigate how multifaceted CSR has aligned with business and finance and has influenced the corporate governance structure of Japanese companies. The findings and discussions in this book act are stepping stones in further research on the linkages between business and society, and provide empirical evidence on changes in Japanese corporate finance and governance.

Download or read book Japanese Corporate Finance and International Competition written by Masasuke Ide and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 1998 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central theme of this book is to demonstrate that the relationship is based financial system was the hidden key factor to explain Japan's phenomenal economic growth after WWII by providing low cost of capital to major Japanese companies as a powerful edge in the export market. The book compares and contrasts the Japanese financial system in detail to that of the US and emphasizes the importance of relationship driven share ownership structure and the stock market behavior which valued highly the low profitability of Japanese management. Through the international comparison of corporate profitability and cost of capital, the book develops a theoretical framework which shows how the financial system affects directly and indirectly international economic competition and the macroeconomic performance of nations. Then the book critically reassesses the traditional Japanese approach to economic value creation as a catch-up model, including the analysis of current major economic difficulties facing Japan.
