授業の概要 Course Overview

Misson Statementとの関係性 / Connection to our Mission Statement

The present course stands on the NUCB mission statement. Specifically, the course contributes to dissemination of knowledge that develops the businesses and the societies. Furthermore, the course helps the business leaders guide the firms (corporations) to drive the performance without any distortion and, thereby, ethically.

授業の目的(意義) / Importance of this course

Economic theory claims that firms should maximize the shareholders' value while addressing other stakeholders' interests. Yet, the business press reports many corporate governance conflicts between shareholders, or more generally investors, and management. The articles often describe such an incident as scandal in which management avert effort to manage the firms on behalf of the shareholders. The management cannot solve the corporate governance problem just by greater effort, however, unless they understand the intrinsic forces behind the corporate governance. This is especially true in Japan where management traditionally relied little on markets to raise capital. The present course lays out the economic theory of corporate governance that has shaped the contemporary research of corporate finance, accounting and organizational behavior.

到達目標 / Achievement Goal


The present course aims to provide the students the framework of corporate governance from investors' perspective and equip them with the options for the management to solve the corporate governance problems. Frequently, the society attribute any management problem (e.g., violation of product inspection rule) to the lack of corporate governance (e.g., management's effort aversion). The course does not take such broad perspective but focuses on the investors' perspective highlighting the conflicts between investors and management. The broad perspective may hinder any corporate governance solution by obscuring the fundamental causes of the problem; the focused perspective should guide the students to specific solutions to the corporate governance problems. Although this course takes the investors' perspective, the course covers the options that the management may take on behalf of the investors instead of investors' actions. This course therefore should benefit the students who desire to lead a firm in the future as top management facing corporate governance problem.

Each session is split into two parts: lecture and case discussion. In the first part, the lecturer explains the management accounting and control tools, but with an interactive pedagogy, soliciting questions and comments from the students. In the second part, the lecturer leads the discussion of the assigned case that sheds light on the lecture content.

Both the lecture and case discussion parts of each session are interactive. The lecturer encourages active class participation among students by asking questions and commenting on other students’ ideas. Although the lecturer leads the interactions, students should learn the discovery process in which they actively resolve the issues amongst themselves, and not passively wait for an “answer.”

After Day 1, the lecturer informs each student of the interim class contribution grade so that he or she can improve in Day 2.
