Empirical research in Japan&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This research studies the effect of foreign directorship on Japanese firm performance, focusing on first-time introduction of foreign directors to boards. Using a panel data of non-financial listed Japanese firms from 2004 to 2015, we document that firms having foreign director on board are of larger size, larger foreign sales, higher foreign ownership, higher R&amp;D investment than firms without. Announcements of first-time introduction are associated with positive abnormal returns. However, the long-term performance of the introduced firms is worse than control firms having no foreign directors on board.<\/p>\n<h5>\u30d7\u30ed\u30b0\u30e9\u30e0 \/ Schedule<\/h5>\n<p>13\uff1a00 Opening Remarks \uff08MIYAJIMA,\u00a0Hideaki (Director, WIAS \/ Professor, Waseda University)\uff09<br \/>\n13\uff1a05 Presentation, Question-and-answer session (NGUYEN THI PHUONG, Thanh) (* in English)<br \/>\n14\uff1a25 Concluding Remarks\uff08MIYAJIMA,\u00a0Hideaki\uff09<\/p>\n<h5>\u5bfe\u3000\u8c61 \/ Prospected Audience<\/h5>\n<p>Faculty and staff members of a university, grad students, undergraduates, the general publics<\/p>\n<h5>\u4e3b\u3000\u50ac \/ Organizer<\/h5>\n<p>Research Institute of Business Administration,Waseda University<br \/>\nWaseda Institute for Advanced Study,Waseda University<\/p>\n<h5>\u7533\u8fbc\u307f \/ Registration<\/h5>\n<p>Free of charge.
