Overview

Current listed firms in Japan have been required to realize both the traditional economic task of enhancing capital efficiency and the new global task of realizing sustainable development. Thus, the main focus of the corporate governance reforms should be to design the appropriate ownership and governance structures that would realize the dual goals above. To what extent have the current governance arrangements, which were previously stylized as the J-type system, been changed? How can we understand the status of corporate governance from the perspective of balancing these challenges? What problems still exist and how should reforms be implemented? This project addresses those topics through interdisciplinary research involving economics, finance, management and corporate law.
