日本の会社法制定と経営革新の可能性

The　Enactment of the Company Law in Japan and the Possibility of Management Innovation

On June 29, 2005, the 162th Diet passed a company law that addresses issues related to regulation, enforcement, accounting, and electronic notification, to name a few. The law went into effect on May 1, 2006. This thesis describes the establishment of this law and requirements with respect to the acquisition of limited (Ltd.) status; corporate organizational design; accounting procedures; corporate reorganization; the Japanese versions of LLC and LLP, respectively; and the potential for management innovation vis-à-vis Japanese enterprises. The law, at the very least, appears to be a compass that points to a route that can lead to genuine management reformation in Japanese enterprises; however, it is necessary to observe how the system operates in reality in order to gauge the law’s degree of success or failure.
