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.
Contributors are: Masahiro Abe, Christine Ahmadjian, Haruhiko Ando, Masahiko Aoki, Yasuhiro Arikawa, Ronald Dore, Nobuyuki Hata, Osamu Hayashida, Takeo Hoshi, Yoshiaki Ishii, Hideshi Itoh, Gregory Jackson, Tatsuya Kikutani, Fumiaki Kuroki, Hideaki Miyajima, Mari Sako, Zenichi Shishido, and Peng Xu.
Corporate Governance in Japan will be available on the day at a special offer price of £40.00 (normally £50.00).
