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, Dokkyô University (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.
