The second presenter: Kathy Harrigan.



"Corporate Governance:Comparing United States and Japanese Boards of Directors" was the title of the second paper, presented by Kathryn Harrigan (Columbia University). The Author presented an inductive study about divergent opinions of directors and top managers of some Japanese and US firms on how corporate governance works, looking particularly at negative or positive effects. An interesting set of descriptive statistics has been provided by Professor Kathy Harrigan which emphasized how opinions and perceptions of governance forms may differ significantly in the US and Japanese firms, mainly companies listed in their respective stock exchanges markets. The presentation of Professor Harrigan got a remarkable attention and interest during the discussion led by Costas Markides and Wei Shen.
