Abstract
This study clarifies unique characteristics of Japanese manufacturing firms in the international business management environment using the United Nations Global Compact delisting ratio through a comparative study on Japan, China, Spain, and the US. Analyzing the number of countries and delisting ratios of the firms by size and sector, I find a trend that Japanese firms have a low delisting ratio than firms in other countries and that SMEs have a higher delisting ratio than larger companies.
