3 | Institution f codetermination (Mitbestimmung) |

Institution f codetermination (Mitbestimmung) Explanation: (3) In Germany, employee participation is vested in the institution of codetermination (Mitbestimmung) that specifies legal rights to information, consultation, and codetermination for works councils. In addition, employees hold between one-third and one-half of the seats on the corporate supervisory board, placing them alongside shareholders in appointing and monitoring management, giving business advice, and ratifying important strategic decisions. In Japan, participation rights are weaker and less formalized in law.

共同決定制(度) System of Co-determination (Mitbestimmungssytem) Explanation: It forms a part of the German system of corporate governance of large firms. Workers are permitted to sit on the Board of Directors and have a say in the investment of capital that affects worker destiny. There are quite a few articles on the subject written in Japanese, German, and English and sometimes a combination thereof. http://www.rieti.go.jp/en/rieti_report/006.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 Stunden (2006-08-29 00:45:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Misspelling: Mitbestimmungssystem.
