Kyushu University is honored to welcome an exceptional group of speakers to the Corporate Governance in East Asia Conference. Each of the speakers have a diverse and interesting background with a wealth of knowledge in the field of corporate governance. We are fortunate to have speakers from leading universities from each of East Asia’s largest economies and from the United States. This should ensure an exciting exchange of ideas, which will hopefully advance the scholarship in this area and provide all those who attend with a fresh perspective on corporate governance in East Asia.
