This volume looks at how Japanese firms have evolved from cross-shareholding between firms and banks to a more shareholder-oriented system, with an expanding role for outside directors and, more importantly, large holdings by institutional shareholders (including activist and buyout funds). The notion of hybridization, which is one of the key concepts of this book, enhances the understanding of the evolution of corporate governance in Japan. As financial markets continue to globalize and institutional shareholders gain influence, firms in in civil law jurisdictions or coordinated market economies may find the book's discussion of hybridization of interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn essential read for scholars in finance, management and organization as well as market participants and lawyers who wish to understand the current Japanese economy from a practical perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hideaki Miyajima\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032912901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032912905\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Hideaki Miyajima","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47931053900031,"sku":"9781032912905","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7eac3432-7590-402f-87bd-db8e6549138f.jpg?v=1766346127","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-evolution-of-corporate-governance-hideaki-miyajima-9781032912905","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
