A deteriorating natural environment is an external factor influencing the operations of businesses. This deterioration has seen a change in society, resulting in an increasing demand for eco-efficient products and services. Incremental awareness by society of environmental issues creates new opportunities for the business community. Organisations’ performances change with their new strategies for meeting the demands for environmentally conscious businesses. This phenomenon is examined through the example of the Japanese company Panasonic Corporation, which regards accounting as the first step of business management. This thesis argues that accounting serves sustainable management because environmental accounting provides the basis for resource management in an organisation. The nation of Japan is committed to accomplishing strong environmental performance, and Japanese companies have an historical reputation of introducing innovative management accounting methods and techniques in response to changes in their business environment. Due to Japan’s geographic position and its inability to be self-sufficient in natural resources, it is reasonable that Japanese companies regard resource management as a critical area to seek solutions for eco-efficiency strategy. This research uses the examples of Panasonic Corporation and a contingency approach to explore the impact of ‘eco-efficiency’ demand on Panasonic Corporation’s management accounting practices. The demand for eco- efficient products and production entices Panasonic Corporation to change its operational activities, reporting contents, corporate structure and business strategies. Consequently, it designs its management accounting practices to fit its context and in so doing accomplish its strategic objectives. Specifically this research identifies and explicates how eco-efficiency demand is reflected in designing management accounting practices. The consequential impact of eco- efficiency consciousness has thus grown largely owing to a response to the eco-efficiency demands. The basis of this study is an examination of Panasonic Corporation’s performance in the context of accounting for the environment. Observations are taken both prior to and after Panasonic’s responses to the Kyoto Protocol. iii Table of Contents Certification

  • Friends of Japan Tradition Meets Modernity— in This Report We Introduce the Life and Work of a Friend of Japan
    Friends of Japan Tradition Meets Modernity— In this report we introduce the life and work of a friend of Japan. the Japanese Way of Living and Working My first encounter with a Japanese approach to business was in 1995 in Silicon Valley, California. It was then that I was asked to help establish the American arm of one of the best- known Japanese electronics companies. Although my knowledge of Japanese culture was limited, I was determined to work for a Japanese company. I strongly felt that working for a Japanese company would allow me to immerse myself in a new challenge and learn a new way of thinking and doing. An enjoyable part of working for a Japanese multi-national is the way they take delight in making the customer happy. This isn’t just a company mantra; it is an important part of doing business. And, while speed is important, the Japanese cherish a deliberate way of working. Teamwork is also highly regarded, while the individual is allowed to feel that they can make a valued contribution. The Japanese also prioritize personnel development over creating products. When I think about it, of all the Japanese principles of business I’ve encountered, I mostly revere the following: contribution to society, fairness and honesty, cooperation and team spirit, untiring efforts for improvement, courtesy and humility, adaptability, and gratitude. These are the seven core values of Konosuke Matsushita, the Japanese industrialist who founded Panasonic in 1918, and this was the company I would later help establish in the United States. I truly believe these principles are also a core part of Japanese life.
