Business Ethics and Corporate Governance in Japan

Nobuyuki Demise

Chapter Chapter 10 in Global Perspectives on Ethics of Corporate Governance, 2006, pp 151-156 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Since the 1990s, many company executives, lawyers, and scholars have been debating the issue of corporate governance in Japan.1 However, differences in opinion on the appropriate approach to corporate governance prevented them from coming to a unified conclusion. Given the lack of consensus, some companies took the initiative and started reforming their corporate governance structures voluntarily. They focused mainly on the compilation and functions of their boards of directors.
