Building the Japanese Type of Corporate Design.

这项研究的目的是调查自1990年下半年以来大多数日本公司在经济框架(结构)快速变化下的表现。具体地说，我们耐心地考察了以下四点：大多数日本公司是如何发展和利用高利润结构(商业模式)、组织和管理结构(管理模式)来运行其商业模式的，最大化利益相关者价值的治理模式，以及可能与整个公司活动密切相关的公司设计。为了实现上述目的，每个(财政)年度的研究采用了以下步骤。首先，对大多数日本企业采用和利用了哪些商业模式、管理模式和治理模式进行了实证研究。其次，从历史的角度和实证的方法研究了现有的公司设计是如何通过商业模式、管理模式和治理模式的结合而形成的。第三，在第一步和第二步的基础上，刻意考察了如何构建什么样的企业设计，以适应大多数日本公司面临的全球环境变化的相当程度的情况。

The purpose of this study is to investigate how most Japanese firms have behaved under the rapid changes of economic framework (structure) since the second half of 1990. Concretely, the following four points are patiently examined: how most Japanese firms have developed and utilized the high-profit structure (business model), the organizational and managerial structure (management model) to run their business models, the governance model to maximize stakeholders values, and 'corporate design' which might be closely tied to whole corporate activities.The following steps in order to achieve the above purpose were employed in this study of each (fiscal) year. First of all, what kind of business models, management models, and governance models have been adopted and utilized by most Japanese firms was empirically studied. Second of all, how the existing corporate designs have been formed through the combination of business models, management models, and governance models was studied from a historical angle and an empirical approach. Third of all, what kind of corporate design is going to be structured in order to adjust to the considerable degree of situation, which most Japanese firms have confronted the global environmental changes, was deliberately examined based upon the first step and second step.
