Current Trends in Corporate Ethics of Japan : A Study of University Education and Research Topics (The 22nd International Academic Seminar)

The purpose of this paper is to touch upon the response of corporations and universities to the present corporate ethics of Japan, and to review the direction of education and research at universities. In the body of the paper, I examine the subject under three headings: First, Japan\u27s Corporations and Ethical Problems (Section II); Second, Corporate Ethics and University Education (Section III); Third, New Aspects of Corporate Ethics Problems (Section IV). Section II survey "Japan\u27s corporate misconducts and truth on how corporations deal with corporate ethics." It will also make clearer "their characteristic and problems." Section III, after consideration of needs and importance for "corporate and university educational cooperation," explain that we are earnestly working to establish the organizational ethics as the foundational theory of education, research, and practicality of corporate ethics in Momoyama Gakuin University. In the research of corporate ethics, more of a focus must be placed on the possibilities: of changing the unethical organization, ethical; on the degree of influence on the activities of the people working there and other interested parties concerned; and on the degree of influence on the organizational activities of the people working there and other interested parties concerned. The intention of the organizational ethics mentioned-above is this. New aspects of corporate ethics problems that are to surface by focusing on these points be expressed in Section IV. Ethical issues in Japanese corporations such as "non-disclosure," "lacking a sense of fair competition and risk taking," "composition of official stance and true intentions," and "organizational pressure of the unspoken," generally have a tendency to be seen as "Japanese in nature." However, this is a combination of things "Japanese in nature" and the "mechanism of modernization," and accordingly, to conquer these various problems, needs to address "the problems the mechanism of modernization involves." What I have tried to show in Section IV are triple doors to the challenge tower. They are also the fundamental viewpoints to be respected in education and research for corporate ethics, hereafter
