H-ASIA October 30, 2009 Governance Challenges for Family Businesses in Japan and Germany by Dr. Timothy Goydke, Sophia University, November 5, 2009 *********************************************************************** From: H-Net Announcements <announce@MAIL.H-NET.MSU.EDU> Sophia University Institute of Comparative Culture Lecture Announcement Location: Japan Lecture Date: 2009-11-05 (in 6 days) Date Submitted: 2009-10-27 Announcement ID: 171518 Governance Challenges for Family Businesses in Japan and Germany Dr. Timothy Goydke Professor of Japanese Economy and Society Bremen University of Applied Sciences November 5, 2009 From 5 pm to 6:30 pm Room 301, Building 10 Although family firms makes up more than 95% of all businesses in Germany and Japan, only about one in six family-run firms survives to the third generation. One reason for failure is often a lack in proper monitoring and supervision. It therefore comes with little surprise that Corporate Governance as a topic concerned with monitoring and supervision is increasingly discussed also with respect to family businesses. However, the discussion has only recently gained momentum and it is surprising that in Japan little literature or scholarly discussion exist so far on Family Business Governance. The aim of the talk is to discuss the issue of Corporate Governance in family businesses and whenever possible to compare the German and Japanese situation and to draw some lessons from the German approach to Family Business Governance. Dr. Timothy Goydke is Professor of Japanese Economy and Society at Bremen University of Applied Sciences. He studied economics at the University Duisburg-Essen, DokkyUniversity (Japan), and Cardiff Business School, University of Wales (United Kingdom). He has been research associate at the Chair of East Asian Economics/Economic Policy in Duisburg and visiting scholar at Waseda University (Japan) and Seoul National University (Republic of Korea). From 2001 to 2005 he was Regional Manager Japan/Korea for the German Asia-Pacific Business Association (OAV), Hamburg.
