SUMMARY:Heeding The Call For Corporate Governance
DESCRIPTION:Masako Egawa\nFor more than 20 years\, there have been calls for improved corporate governance\, but for many companies it has been little more than an effort goal\, and for the most part the debate has been about the pros and cons of shareholder focus.  However\, with the successive revisions of the Companies Act\, the enactment of the Corporate Governance Code\, the introduction of the Integrated Reporting System\, and the pressure from international investors\, Japanese companies have been forced to face up to this issue and create a system to deal with it. The increase in the number of outside directors is also a manifestation of this trend. Corporate governance has gone from being merely a special field of business administration to being considered essential knowledge for many businesspeople. \nThe topic of corporate governance was brought up a few times at CEO Insights.  The high level of interest and response of our network members was overwhelming.  Business is not just about sales\, people\, and production.  CEOs must also understand the business environment within the nations where they operate.  In this CI luncheon\, you will get to meet an accomplished businessperson\, writer\, and educator.  Dr. Masako Egawa (PhD)\, our speaker\, will talk about corporate governance in Japan.  She will \n\nprovide an overview on corporate governance in Japan;\nwill explain how management and governance are intertwined; and\nwill explain how companies should be governed to maximize their business.\n\nParticipants will gain insight on corporate management\, either as managers or investors\, and on outside directors.  Don’t miss this great opportunity to make sure you have the right line of thinking in this important area of our businesses. \n  \nMore on Dr. Masako Egawa- \nDr. Egawa is Chancellor of Seikei Gakuen\, a private school for primary\, secondary and higher education with approximately 10\,000 students in Kichijoji. She teaches corporate governance at the University of Tokyo\, where she also served as the first female Executive Vice President from 2009 to 2015. She also taught at Hitotsubashi University and Keio University. She founded the Japan Research Center of the Harvard Business School in 2001 and served as its Executive Director until 2009. Prior to this\, Dr. Egawa worked in the investment banking industry for 15 years in New York and Tokyo. She is an independent director of Mitsui & Co.\, Ltd.\, and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation\, and has served numerous councils including the Tax Council (advisory body for the Prime Minister) and the Financial System Council.
