Overview

The 'Big Bang' programme of financial reform in Japan set in motion in November 1996 was the culmination of the process whereby the Japanese economy was opened up more fully to global competition and global financial flows. This book, based on extensive original research, investigates the recent changes in Japan's financial system. It provides a wealth of detail, and analyses the extent to which Japanese financial institutions are falling into line with emerging norms of organization and strategic management, showing that the government's and the financial sector's embrace of financial globalization is only partial. It considers the impact of recent changes on the corporate and household sectors, links developments to the latest theories of globalization, sheds considerable light on Japan's recent economic and financial crises, and provides explanations for the dramatic economic, political and social upheavals which the country is currently undergoing.
