First sentence: Corporate governance is 'the system by which business corporations are directed and controlled' (Cadbury 1992; OECD 1999).
Description: This text examines thinking on corporate governance by way of a detailed study of the governance practices of 14 Japanese companies. It suggests that mainstream conceptualizations of corporate governance are inadequate, failing to account for the actual way the companies are controlled.
