Germany and Japan are often seen deviating from an economic model of shareholder
control
and thereby as being similar by virtue of their mutual contrast with the US. Given
the common
challenges for bank-based and stakeholder-oriented models of corporate governance,
Germany–Japan comparison seems particularly timely. This article provides an
introductory
overview and analysis for the Special Issue by comparing recent developments in corporate
law reform, banking and finance, and employment in Germany and Japan. While rejecting
arguments for international convergence, we discuss this evidence of simultaneous
continuity
and change in corporate governance as a potential form of hybridisation of national
models
or renegotiation of stakeholder coalitions in German and Japanese firms. One consequence
is
the growing diversity of firm-level corporate governance practices within national
systems.

There are good reasons for national differences in corporate governance, differences in the distributional outcomes desired and differences in motivational resources; material sticks and carrots are not the only ways of keeping top managers efficient, honest and dynamic. Yet, too often discussions of corporate governance assume the Anglo-Saxon model to be normal and others“deviant”– a notion to be challenged, but nevertheless the dominant assumption among the“reformers” of corporate governance in Japan and Germany. Most of the reforms in those two countries over the past decade have purported to be about making top managers more honest and efficient. In fact their purport has more often been to change distributional outcomes, favouring shareholders at the expense of employees.

A small but significant stream of research has emerged on how changes in corporate
governance impact labour management, particularly in countries with stakeholder-oriented
corporate governance. This paper briefly reviews existing empirical and theoretical
literature on the links between corporate governance and labour management. Then
it compares recent trends in Germany and Japan in terms of how changes in corporate
governance affect the distribution of value-added, employment adjustment, pay systems
and employee participation. Germany and Japan have proven able to adapt and modify
their stakeholder model of employment and employee participation to changing circumstances.
However, the size of the core model is getting smaller.
