Abstract
It has become clear that Japan's policy process is a “two-tiered structure,” with one tier providing major direction and the other designing specific institutions, and that not only is this not a smooth process, but it often results in events such as historical effects. In this paper, the concept is further applied to corporate misconduct cases in the private sector, and it is proposed to examine the information structure in the three phases of occurrence and maintenance, communication (reporting), and response processing, The purpose of this study is to examine the problem of corporate fraud and misconduct. Specifically, the analysis is based on research reports on functional food products that occurred in 2024 and other reports. We then contrast them with outstanding cases and obtain suggestions from a P2M perspective.
