Now in the 21st century, corporate scandals are never-ending. Professor Fumio Takahashi is committed to developing humble leaders who are rich in humanity. Corporations should not exist simply to pursue profits, and they need to have business leaders with a strong sense of corporate ethics. Such leaders are also essential for the growth of society as a whole. Professor Takahashi will talk about what he values in developing business leaders while also detailing what he teaches at graduate school.

  • Exploring Better Relationships between Corporations and their Employees
  • Professor YAMASHITA Masaru
  • After World War II, Japanese corporations achieved growth by spurring their employees to share the top management’s philosophy and values and take pride in the company they worked for. Society became prosperous and people started working with diverse motivations including “for personal fulfillment” and “to earn money.” Then, the bubble economy burst and corporations’ financial standing weakened. Furthermore, the poorly adopted merit-based pay system undermined the relationship between individuals and corporations, which accelerated the weakening of the latter. It must be reaffirmed that companies are sustained by the people who work for them. In this column, I would like to look at how struggling Japanese corporations should rebuild their relationship with their employees in order to regain their strength, and elaborate on the new forms of relationships between organizations and individuals that match the Japanese corporate culture.

  • Human resources (HR) practices tend to be regarded as something relevant only to those working for corporations, but in fact they directly affect each and every one of us in society, including people who are not in the labor force. Keywords in contemporary society, such as childcare leave, scholarships, and job hopping can also be illuminated from the perspective of HR strategies. How do the Japanese HR strategies—long-term employment, seniority system, and gender-segregated employment practices—affect society? What changes are needed going forward?
