Book Description: The topic of 'corporate governance' is of growing interest to academics and research students because it focuses on major differences between national business systems and their performance. Yet few works undertake necessary direct international comparisons or reach beyond evidence free generalizations. Comparative study is used in this book to analyse national, legal, cultural and industry specific contexts and contributory factors. But historical insight, notably into the origins of corporate governance systems and the impact of institutional legacy, is needed to unravel development pathways in Japan and Britain. The contributors to this book consider a number of themes within the framework of corporate governance and its history. These include the particularity of the textile industry in both Japan and Britain; the service and insurance sector; the practice and role of holding companies and groups; the intervention of the state; changes in sources of finance; and the evolution of management structures and operational methods. The book is the result of genuine international co operation between established Japanese and British business historians and management academics.
