DESCRIPTION:Japanese companies are facing an increasingly competitive and 
 challenging business landscape. Heralded as part of the Abenomics 'third a
 rrow'\, corporate governance is currently seen as one of the keys to unloc
 king corporate Japan's full potential. I will therefore discuss and analys
 e the implications of the revised Japanese Corporate Governance Code ('the
  Code') in effect from 1 June 2015. Heavily drawing upon principles of th
 e UK Corporate Governance Code\, the Code represents a marked step towards
  convergence with the Anglo-American shareholder-centric model in an attem
 pt to bolster shareholder activism and drive cash-hoarding companies to ge
 nerate greater returns\, thereby strengthening the Japanese economy. I wil
 l cover the Code's potential impact from the perspective of both Japanese 
 businesses and foreign companies dealing with Japan.
