On October 16th, major motor manufacturer Nidec announced that it is considering a lawsuit seeking damages against nine former presidents, including founder Shigenobu Nagamori, in connection with a series of accounting fraud issues.

Admin’s Note

The recent news regarding Nidek’s lawsuit is an important case that raises questions about corporate governance and ethics. In particular, the fact that founder Mr. Nagamori is becoming a target of the lawsuit could have a significant impact on the company’s culture. As mentioned in the conversation between Chako and Log, a company’s commitment to accountability is essential for maintaining social trust.
