Toshiba Corp., Kirin Holdings Company Limited, Kyushu Railway Company — there’s a growing list of companies in Japan that have made significant changes in response to activist involvement, reflecting a cultural shift both domestically and the way outside investors approach their targets. With Riken Vitamin Co., Ltd. and Hazama Ando Corporation, there may soon be more Japanese companies following the same trend.

The live event features Aaron Stern, who will discuss his views on recent shareholder activism trends in Japan, joined by CorpGov Editor-in-Chief John Jannarone and Editor-at-Large Jarrett Banks.
