Early Management Accounting Practices in Japan - The Case of the Mitsubishi Mail Steamship Company

En anglais seulement.

After the Meiji restoration, in order to reduce dependence on overseas shipping companies, the Japanese Government started to build a strong national shipping company, providing subsidies and ships to the Mitsubishi Mail Steamship Company. However when the government changed in the 1880s and with high criticism of Mitsubishi’s monopoly, the Kyodo-unso Company was established. After severe competition, these companies merged in 1885. Based on historical records, this study demonstrates how the management of operating units (geographically dispersed branches and ships) developed along with changes in the organisational environment (managerial tasks and strategies).
