What is a corporation?

Mr. Nishikawa of Japan Post resigned amid friction with Japan's 100% majority shareholder, the Japanese government (Finance and Postal Services Minister Kamei).

The direction that the new shareholder thought was different from the direction he had taken. That is why Mr. Nishikawa said he was resigning.

The Liberal Democratic Party replaced the Democratic Party of Japan, and at the same time, the major shareholders of Japan Post also changed.

The policy also changed 180 degrees.




Under the banner of the privatization of Japan Post, the company had been entrusted by Mr. Koizumi with the mission of privatizing Japan Post and was close to reaching its goal.

I believe that Mr. Nishikawa's efforts to get each company listed on the stock exchange were considerable.




When shareholders change, company policies change.




If the shareholders change, the management also changes.




Is this really a good thing?




Many similar things have been happening around me recently.

What do the employees of the organization think?

Corporate policies change at will according to the wishes of shareholders.

The management philosophy may change 180 degrees.




Today's right is tomorrow's left. 。。。。




What do employees believe in when they work for a company?




Friction between shareholders and management.




Who owns the company?




In Europe and the U.S., it is said, "It belongs to the shareholders.

In Japan, it is said that it belongs to the employees.




Who really owns the company?




In a book written by Mr. Yanai, President of Uniqlo, he says, "A company belongs to its customers.




A company belongs to its customers.




That's right.




The purpose of a company is to create customers.




This is it.




Pull the reins of your life by yourself! And do so firmly.
