Description

Explore the complex world of Japanese business through this deep look at the Sokaiya. These extortionists target major corporations, threatening to reveal scandals or corporate secrets, often during high-stakes shareholder meetings. This book examines the unique and complicated relationship that develops between company executives and these groups. While Sokaiya act as extortionists, they also serve a secondary role by protecting corporations from other Sokaiya groups. This duality makes them a necessary evil within the Japanese economic landscape. The text provides a detailed history of their development over the last 100 years, tracing their evolution since the first enactment of Japan's commercial code. Readers gain firsthand perspectives through documented interviews with police officers, lawyers, and corporate executives. This book is an essential resource for anyone studying business history, Japanese corporate culture, or the legal evolution of the Japanese commercial code.
