Announcement
Corporate Governance is in a way reflective of individual country's social institution, culture and history. Amidst the resulting diversity across countries, the globalization of the world economy is driving some degree of institutional convergence among countries and their firms.
In Japan there are increasing debates as to whether the Japanese corporate governance, much applauded during the 1980's, requires changes and if it does, how these changes need to be implemented.
Mr. Kobayashi of Japan Association of Corporate Executives and Mr. Miyauchi of Japan Association of Corporate Directors, both of whom have much influence on the corporate governance of Japanese firms as a whole, join researchers from the United States, Europe and East Asia, in an academic and practical discussion on the international prospects of corporate governance.
