- Title
Corporate Governance Report: Corporate Governance Principles –a Japanese view.
- Abstract
The Corporate Governance Committee of the Corporate Governance Forum of Japan, chaired by Mr. Tadao Suzuki, President of the Mercian Corporation, published their final report in May 1998. Their innovative work followed a long period of discussion and stemmed from the original foundation of the Corporate Governance Forum in 1994 by Mr. Kaneo Nakamura of the Industrial Bank of Japan, who invited top business leaders to discuss governance issues. The following extracts from the first two chapters of the report provide some valuable insights into corporate governance perspectives and practices in Japan. The report offers a set of principles which provide a two-step formula for realizing effective corporate governance in Japan – “principles which should be adopted immediately (or as soon as possible after legal reform) are shown as step ‘A’ principles: step ‘B’ principles should be aimed for early in the 21st. century “to illuminate the path toward the global market, but require legal reform on a grand scale.”
