Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research investigates the relationship between “Omega (Ω) style management” and financial performance. We analyzed the text from newspaper articles, corporate financial reports, and annual reports from 1990-2015. The results of our study indicate 1) “Ω-style management” strengthens the economic principles of new liberalism, and in addition, some companies also reevaluate their traditional Japanese style industrial relations; 2) the relationships between “Ω-style management” and corporate financial performance differ by industry characteristics; 3) the transformation of Japanese companies’ corporate governance should comprehensively consider the impact of the labor market.
