Abstract

The Livedoor-Fuji TV takeover battle for Nippon Broadcasting Systems is considered one of the greatest uproars in the corporate takeover in the history of Japan. The epic battle is believed to have its lasting impact on the basic institutions that govern the country's takeover market. The paper aims to investigate the institutional changes, if any, Japan has experienced following the Livedoor episode. Analysing a handful number of takeover attempts before and after the battle, the paper finds that although some surface changes can be observed, a broad-based change is yet to be seen. This can be attributed to the informal institutions which have long been recognised as fundamental building blocks of the national model of corporate governance in Japan.
