Review Corporate Governance in Japan: Institutional Change and Organizational Diversity / Oxford University Press, USA:This book uses comparative institutional analysis to explain differences in national economic performance. Countries have their own rules for corporate governance and they have different market arrangements; and these differences in rules and organization affect the way firms behave. Countries also tend to develop conventions of organizational architechture of firms, whether their hierarchies are functional, horizontal, or decentralized. This affects the way in which they process information, and information management is increasingly seen as being of crucial importance to a firm's performance. Aoki accords more importance to these factors than to the factors conventionally used in applying a neoclassical model of economic efficiency. He applies game theory, contract theory, and information theory. By describing the rules and norms in Japan, the USA, and the transitional economies, Aoki shows how firms can achieve competitive advantage in international markets if these conventions and rules are well suited to the industrial sector in which the firms operate. He is particularly concerned with how Japan, with its main bank and lifelong employment systems, as well as information-sharing firm organizational structure, might reform its institutions to maintain competitive advantage in the world economy.

Review Information Asymmetry, Volume 13: A Unifying Concept for Financial & Managerial Accounting Theories (Studies in Managerial and Financial Accounting) / JAI Press:This monograph seeks to provide a theoretical foundation and linkage between financial and managerial accounting. Just as the lines between the CPA-auditor or the financial analyst and consultants, underwriters, and management have been blurred through the Enron audit failure, so, too, will the lines between research streams relating to management (management accounting) and external parties (financial accounting) be less easily drawn. After providing the theoretical foundation for information asymmetry in the first three sections, emphasis shifts to case studies. Section four focuses on case studies and issues relating to the transmission of symmetric and asymmetric information on the Internet.

Review Policy Issues in Insurance No. 12 Financial Management of Large-Scale Catastrophes / Org. for Economic Cooperation & Development:Dramatic events, such as the earthquake that struck China’s Sichuan Province in 2008 and the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in the United States in 2005, have brought the financial management of catastrophic risks once again to the forefront of the public policy agenda globally. Are governments in developed and emerging countries adopting efficient strategies to manage the increasing financial burden of catastrophes? What are the roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders in the public and private sectors in the management of disaster risks and costs? How can all parties best prepare for the unprecedented challenges posed by large-scale risks? To address these issues and develop sound policies, the OECD has established an International Network on the Financial Management of Large-Scale Catastrophes. Under the guidance and intellectual leadership of a High-Level Advisory Board, the Network promotes the exchange of information and experiences among policymakers, industry, and academia in OECD and non-member countries. This publication supports the ongoing activities of the Network. It contains three reports focusing on: different institutional approaches to the financial management of large-scale catastrophes in selected OECD and non-OECD countries, the role of risk mitigation and insurance in reducing the impact of natural disasters, and the importance of strategic leadership in the management of non-conventional crises. The OECD has produced several publications to date on large-scale catastrophes, including “Catastrophic Risk and Insurance” (2005), “Terrorism Risk Insurance in OECD Countries” (2005), “Large-scale Disasters: Lessons Learned” (2004), “Environmental Risks and Insurance: A Comparative Analysis of the Role of Insurance in the Management of Environment-Related Risks” (2003), and “Emerging Risks in the 21st Century: An Agenda for Action” (2003).
