Stakeholder Capitalism and Corporate Governance in Japan
Japan has long been regarded as an exemplar of a stakeholder model of corporate governance, where the interests of employees, customers, suppliers, and the wider community, in addition to shareholders, are taken into account in decision-making. However, Japan's traditional stakeholder-focused corporate governance model is facing new pressures as the economy has undergone changes, including increasing foreign share ownership, calls for more transparency and a shift towards UK and US-style corporate governance. This book provides an in-depth analysis of Japan's changes and challenges in balancing the interests of shareholders and stakeholders in corporate governance. The first section of the book provides a comprehensive overview of the history of corporate governance in Japan and its evolution. It includes information on the key regulatory and legal frameworks, including the Companies Act and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law. The second section delves into the implementation of the Abenomics corporate governance reforms and their impact on Japan's corporate landscape. It also includes information on the codes of Stewardship (2014) and Corporate Governance (2015). The final part provides an in-depth analysis of the challenges faced by Japanese companies in terms of corporate governance and the prospects of further corporate governance reforms in Japan. It discusses the convergence trend of Japan's traditional bank-based, stakeholder-orientated corporate governance model and a shareholder value-driven corporate governance system in the UK and the US. This book is aimed at executives, policymakers, business leaders, academics, and anyone interested in the future of business and corporate governance. It will be of particular interest to those interested in learning about the unique approach to stakeholder capitalism and corporate governance that has been developed in Japan and how this approach is shaping the future of business worldwide.

The Inclusive Language Field Guide
Avoid inadvertently offending or alienating anyone by following six straightforward communication guidelines developed by a no-nonsense linguistic anthropologist and business consultant.In today's fast-moving and combative culture, language can feel like a minefield. Terms around gender, disability, race, sexuality and more are constantly evolving. Words that used to be acceptable can now get you cancelled. People are afraid of making embarrassing mistakes. Or sounding outdated or out of touch. Or not being as respectful as they intended. But it's not as complicated as it might seem. Linguistic anthropologist Suzanne Wertheim offers six easy-to-understand principles to guide any communication-written or spoken-with anyone: Reflect reality Show respect Draw people in Incorporate other perspectives Prevent erasure Recognize pain points This guide clarifies the challenges-and the solutions-to using ''''they/them, '''' and demonstrates why ''''you guys'''' isn't as inclusive as many people think. If you follow the principles, you'll know not to ask a female coworker with a wedding ring about her husband-because she might be married to a woman. And you'll avoid writing things like ''''America was discovered in 1492, '''' because that's just when Europeans found it. Filled with real-world examples, high-impact word substitutions, and exercises that boost new skills, this book builds a foundational toolkit so people can evaluate what is and isn't inclusive language on their own.

The Fundamentals of Insurance
Insurance is perhaps the most effective device for managing 'Risk', which is a pervasive phenomenon, an ever present part of our lives. We can sometimes 'avoid' risk, or 'reduce' it, but never entirely eliminate it.Whether you are a Graduate student who is studying insurance as a part of your curriculum, or an Executive tasked with the responsibility of managing your Organization's Insurance and Risk Management Program, this book will provide you with a strong conceptual foundation, comprehensive knowledge of non-life and life insurance products, and a perspective of how insurance functions as a part of the economy.Essentially, you will understand 'why' insurance is needed, 'what' solutions it provides, and 'how' different business processes and professionals work together to deliver the vital compensation to victims of disasters.Organized in 18 Chapters, comprehensive, but brief and crisp, it continuously relates facts to theories, and concepts to processes, events to their context, and the 'rule-of-thumb' to the underlying 'Basic Principle'. Thus insurance will be de-mystified and you will be empowered to decode "insurance speak".The book draws from the Author's hands-on experience in the Indian Insurance industry. However, the insights and observations go beyond borders, reflecting universal principles and practices of insurance that are recognized worldwide.
