問 16
Incorrectア
“A company’s core competence that brings customers value which competitors cannot provide” describes core competence, which is a concept separate from corporate governance.
- イ
正解 Corporate governance is a framework for maintaining and monitoring the soundness of corporate activities through disciplining management, ensuring transparency on important matters, and protecting the roles and rights of stakeholders such as shareholders, employees, business partners, and the local community. It is a mechanism that checks a company from both the outside and the inside to prevent misconduct or reckless behavior by management and to keep the company running in a socially desirable way. The description that best fits this definition is “イ”.
Incorrectウ
“A basic framework for setting business domains and allocating management resources toward establishing a sustainable competitive advantage” describes management strategy (setting the business domain and allocating management resources), not a corporate-governance framework.
Incorrectエ
“Universal beliefs and values in management, such as a company’s reason for being and social significance” describes management philosophy (corporate philosophy), which differs from corporate governance, a mechanism for monitoring the soundness of corporate activities.
- Corporate governance = a framework that maintains and monitors the soundness of corporate activities by ensuring management discipline and transparency and by protecting stakeholders’ rights.
- Distinguish similar management terms: do not confuse governance with core competence, management strategy (business domain / resource allocation), or management philosophy (universal beliefs and values).
