NO STONE UNTURNED � Chamber of Commerce International Comparisons � The Rt Hon the Lord Heseltine of Thenford CH Contents Foreword 2 Introduction 3 Section One – Background 4 Origin of chambers 4 Public and private law chamber models 6 • Public law models 7 • Private law models 9 Comparison of public and private law models 11 Section Two – Country comparisons 14 1.

Glossary 42 [1] Chambers of Commerce – International Comparisons Foreword In order to compare the support systems available to the private sector in competing economies I asked officials, supporting my review, to survey practice overseas. My enquiries coincided with similar work by the Minister of State for Trade and Investment, Lord Green. The findings from UK Trade and Investment are too detailed to include in my report1 but I believe the evidence from our research should be available. One observation. It is interesting how little awareness exists in this country of just what our companies are up against. One caveat. In the time and with the resource available to me I do not claim – and nor would officials – that this is a comprehensive or detailed survey of the full picture. It is an interesting and revealing snapshot. I hope this paper helps stimulate an informed debate about how best to use chambers of commerce to create a strong and sustainable business support environment, drawing on international best practice. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to show my personal gratitude to all those who have contributed to this piece of work.

Weinstein For twenty-five years, the U.S. and Japanese governments have seen the rise of corporate groups in Japan, keiretsu, as due in part to foreign pressure to liberal- ize the Japanese market. In fact, virtually all works that discuss barriers in a historical context argue that Japanese corporations acted to insulate themselves from foreign takeovers by privately placing shares with each other (See, e.g., Encarnation 1992,76; Mason 1992; and Lawrence 1993). The story has proved to be a major boon for the opponents of a neoclassical approach to trade and investment policy. Proponents of the notion of “Japanese-style capitalism” in the Japanese government can argue that they did their part for liberalization and cannot be held responsible for private-sector outcomes. Meanwhile, pro- ponents of results-oriented policies (ROPs) can point to yet another example of how the removal of one barrier led to the formation of a second barrier.

The Father of Japanese Capitalism: Shibusawa Eiichi's Vision of The
Case Study #11 April 2019 The Father of Japanese Capitalism: Shibusawa Eiichi’s Vision of the Ethical Corporation Introduction When Europeans began trading with Japan in the 16th century, they were amazed by Japanese craftsmanship, the country’s sophistication, and its extraordinary wealth but the Japanese elite were not equally convinced by the benefits of European trade. Wary of foreign influence, particularly the attempts by Christian missionaries to convert the Japanese, the Tokugawa Shogunate enforced a policy of strict isolation in Japan. Tokugawa Iemitsu, the shogun of Japan from 1623 to 1651, issued a series of edicts placing severe restrictions on trade and the movement of people and goods after 1638. These prohibitions remained in place for more than two hundred years until 8 July 1853 when, under the command of Commodore Matthew Perry, four United States Naval Ships sailed into Tokyo Bay. In the decades leading up to this confrontation, the presence of foreign ships in Japanese waters had become an increasingly common sight as western powers competed ever more fiercely to establish trade relations in the region. The arrival of Perry’s “black ships”, however, marked a stark shift in Japan’s foreign relations. American President Millard Fillmore had tasked Perry with forcing open Japanese ports to US vessels and, unlike in previous naval expeditions, granted him full and discretionary powers to achieve this end. On arriving into Tokyo Bay, Perry staged a week-long campaign of intimidation that began fiercely with the firing of blank shots and culminated in ominous threats to destroy the nation. The Tokugawa Shogunate, stymied by indecision, finally conceded that Perry would be allowed ashore to deliver a letter demanding that Japan abandoned its protectionist policies.

Chaebols): Resource-Based and Institutional Perspectives on the Causes of Diversification
Diversification Strategies and the Formation of Korean Big Business Groups (Chaebols): Resource-based and Institutional Perspectives on the Causes of Diversification Jaeyong Song and Dong-Sung Cho Discussion Paper No.9 Jaeyong Song Dong-Sung Cho Assistant Professor of Management Professor of Management Columbia Business School School of Business Administration Seoul National University Discussion Paper Series APEC Study Center Columbia University In the 1990s, probably no other firms in emerging economies have drawn more attention than Korean big business groups, or “chaebols.” When Korea emerged as a new industrial power, boasting the 11th largest economy in the world in 1996, chaebols were praised as drivers of this unprecedented, rapid economic growth. In recent years, the chaebols’ dramatic international expansion often made headlines in business magazines and newspapers all over the world. Thanks to the chaebols’ explosive foreign investments, Korea numbered among the largest foreign investors in many countries, including the United Kingdom. Impressed by this rapid expansion in overseas markets, particularly in high-tech industries such as semiconductors, Business Week (1995a) featured a cover story and analyzing the chaebols’ “success formula.” Moreover, emerging or transition economies such as China and Russia attempted to adopt a Korean economic development model based on chaebols, encouraging their own large firms to become chaebol-like diversified business groups (Business Week, 1995b; Economist, 1997). Some scholars supported such efforts to imitate Korean-style big business groups, praising chaebols as a new organizational form (Orru, Biggart, and Hamilton, 1991). Others lauded the chaebol as a legendary success story (Khanna and Palepu, 1997), some arguing that they were more appropriate than focused firms for late industrializing economies (Amsden, 1997).

Summary 5 Key Findings 4. Findings 6 Pre-COVID-19 Readiness Responding to COVID-19 Medium and Long-term Impact of COVID-19 5. Recommendations 22 Moving Chambers of Commerce Forward 6. Appendix 23 Methodology INTRODUCTION REPORT CONTEXT The research summarised in this report sits as part of the 2021 Strategy Road Map laid out by the International Chamber of Commerce's World Chambers Federation (ICC WCF). The Road Map highlights a number of key priorities for the WCF. These include greater alignment with the ICC, strengthening the brand of the WCF and chambers of commerce globally, and promoting better networking, knowledge sharing and innovation between chambers. To address these priorities, the WCF outlined four initiatives on alignment, chamber’s brands, “Chamber 4.0”, and Chamber Connect. This report sits within the last of those, Chamber Connect, focused on improving global chambers collaboration and networking by creating and improving existing digital and physical platforms.” This fourth initiative is being led by Cámara de Comercio de Bogotá and many of the insights in this report build on those published earlier this year. To compliment those ﬁndings this report will be shared across the chamber network to understand the actions chambers are currently taking in relation to COVID-19, share best practices and better serve the ecosystem, which can be used to highlight potential opportunities for greater collaboration. The report will further serve to support the development of content for the 12th World Chambers Congress, due to be hosted in Dubai during November 2021.
