Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japanese corporate governance and managerial practice is at a critical juncture. At the start of the decade pressures mounted for Japan to move to a shareholder-value driven, 'Anglo-American' system of corporate governance. Subsequent changes, however, may be seen as an adjustment and renewal of the post-war model of the Japanese firm. In adapting to global corporate governance standards, Japanese managers have also been reshaping them according to their own agenda of reform and restructuring of decision-making processes. The board's role is seen in terms of strategic planning rather than monitoring, and external directors are viewed as advisers, not as representatives of the shareholders. Managers have adopted a variety of defences against hostile takeovers, including poison pills in some cases. Although shareholder influence is more extensive than it was, central aspects of the Japanese 'community firm' remain in place. The commitment to stable or 'lifetime' employment for a core of employees, although coming under severe pressure, is still an important point of reference for Japanese management. Corporate Governance and Managerial Reform in Japan is based on detailed and intensive field work in large Japanese companies and interviews with investors, civil servants, and policy makers in the period following the adoption of significant corporate law reforms in the early 2000s up to the months just before the global financial crisis of 2008. The Japanese experience suggests that there are limits to the global convergence of company law systems, and that the widespread association of Anglo-American practices with the 'modernization' of corporate governance has been misplaced. This conclusion is unlikely to be altered - it may be reinforced - by reactions to the financial crisis.

Download or read book Corporate Governance in Japan written by Masahiko Aoki and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-09-06 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debates regarding corporate governance have become increasingly important in Japan as the post-war model of bank-based, stakeholder-oriented corporate governance faces the new pressures associated with globalization and growing investor demands for shareholder value. Bringing together a group of leading scholars from economics, law, sociology and management studies, this book looks at how the Japanese approach to corporate governance and the firm have changed in the post-bubble era. The contributions offer a unique empirical exploration of why and how Japanese firms are reshaping their corporate governance arrangements, leading to greater diversity among firms and new 'hybrid' forms of corporate governance. The book concludes by looking at what effect these incremental but transformative changes may have on Japan's distinctive variety of capitalism.

Download or read book Recent Boardroom Reforms in Japan and the Roles of Outside Independent Directors written by Gen Goto and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, Japan has been working on corporate governance reforms, focusing on the roles of outside/independent directors. Among others, the 2014 Reform of the Companies Act and the 2015 Japanese Corporate Governance Code introduced “comply or explain” rules regarding appointment of one outside director or two independent directors, respectively. These reforms turned out to be quite effective. Within the companies listed in the First Section of Tokyo Stock Exchange, the ratio of those appointing one or more outside directors jumped up from 48.5% in 2010 to 55.4% in 2012, 74.3% in 2014, and to 98.8% in 2016. It is still quite rare, however, for Japanese companies to appoint more outside/independent directors to reach one third or majority of their boards of directors.While such reforms focusing on board independence may seem to be in line with the global trend since the UK's Cadbury Report in 1992, although at a quite modest rate, it does not necessarily follow that the reason of having these reforms are also similar to those of other jurisdictions. Unlike many other corporate governance reforms around the world, the recent reforms in Japan are not responses to corporate scandals. Rather, the current government emphasizes corporate governance reform and board independence as a key to revitalize Japanese economy. The problem is that it is not so clear how outside/independent directors can contribute to increase corporate value and overall economic growth.After describing the situation before and the contents of the recent reforms, this paper analyzes the various roles expected to be performed by outside/independent directors in Japan and argues that more attention should be paid to the possible intra-jurisdictional divergence in addition to the inter-jurisdictional difference regarding outside/inside directors.

This book was released on 2019-01-16 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to study an unexplored area of corporate governance. The authors examine whether the corporate governance system can be affected by organizational culture, leader culture, and the operations management system in general. In addition, they study how a specific corporate governance system can affect the organizational culture and operations management system and create a different type of leader culture. This is an in-depth study of Japanese multinational companies and a comparison of their corporate governance system at home (in Japan) and in host countries like Britain, India, and Thailand.The authors conducted a series of in-depth interviews with the senior executives of major Japanese multinational companies to construct quantitative models for Japan, Thailand and India, and to analyze the aforementioned propositions.
