| Research Abstract |
The objective of this study is to analyze the actual conditions of risk management,considered highly important as one factor that made possible the formation of the general trading company as a type of business peculiar to Japan, by using primary sources from companies including Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corporation during the period between the world wars.
We elucidated empirically the factors behind the development of the strong competitive power held by Japanese general trading companies in circum-Pacific trade during the period between the world wars, by addressing the above research topic through analysis of both companies'trade credit systems and speculative trade management systems during this period,mainly using materials seized by the Allies from Japanese firms'overseas operations after the war and kept in the holdings of the U.S.National Archives and the National Archives of Australia,Sydney Office.
