Since the 1990s, increasing economic and financial globalization has steadily eroded the Japanese style of business based on relationships and influenced the awareness and practices of CSR that are unique to Japanese companies. In Japan?s two ?lost decades? after the bubble economy, the business model and corporate financing seem to have continued a gradual financial reform toward a more market-oriented system. CSR awareness and practices of Japanese companies have been influenced by social and environmental issues that global society and communities face. Furthermore, the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011 triggered increasing attention paid to the responsibility of business toward society. In this process, major players in corporate governance and components of governance structure have continued to change. The conventional view of Japanese corporate governance and corporate finance is too narrow to understand this field in Japan. This book is based on empirical research to investigate how multifaceted CSR has aligned with business and finance and has influenced the corporate governance structure of Japanese companies. The findings and discussions in this book act are stepping stones in further research on the linkages between business and society, and provide empirical evidence on changes in Japanese corporate finance and governance. 410 0$aAdvances in Japanese Business and Economics,$x2197-8859 606 $aSocial responsibility of business 606 $aCorporate governance 606 $aBusiness ethics 606 $aInternational business enterprises 606 $aCorporate Social Responsibility$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/526010 606 $aCorporate Governance$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/511020 606 $aBusiness Ethics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14050 606 $aInternational Business$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/525000 615 0$aSocial responsibility of business. 615 0$aCorporate governance. 615 0$aBusiness ethics. 615 0$aInternational business enterprises. 615 14$aCorporate Social Responsibility. 615 24$aCorporate Governance. 615 24$aBusiness Ethics. 615 24$aInternational Business. 676 $a301.55 700 $aSuto$b Megumi$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01059232 702 $aTakehara$b Hitoshi$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298194103321 996 $aCorporate Social Responsibility and Corporate Finance in Japan$92504717 997 $aUNINA
