Former American President Donald Trump has reportedly urged MS America to dismiss one of their executives. This comes as part of Trump's ongoing controversial activities, which blend the spheres of politics and business. The exact reason behind Trump's call for action is still unclear, and it remains to be seen how MS America will respond.
In the Japanese society, interference in management decisions by non-stakeholders, especially high-profile individuals, often sparks debates about corporate independence and political influence. Because Trump maintains a level of popularity, his actions provoke discussions about corporations' responses to political pressure.
In the U.S. and the EU, there is more focus on shareholder activism—stakeholders that demand changes in a company's practice. Yet, non-stakeholders like Trump, often get media attention, but their suggestions might not have the influence they expect.
