The Japanese government has announced its policy/strategy on cybersecurity, one of the most important emerging risk topics in foreign board rooms nowadays. The same level of concern has not quite made its way to Japanese board rooms. (Nine months ago when BDTI held a seminar on this subject, only about 25 people showed up, and most of them were from IT departments.)
An English version of the policy is available here:
The Board Director Training Institute (BDTI) is a "public interest" nonprofit in Japan dedicated to training about directorship, corporate governance, and related management techniques. It is certified by the Japanese government to conduct these activities as a regulated nonprofit.
