日本的公司起步较晚,最初的股份组织是江户时代末期由坂本龙马和龟山社中发起,20多位游民参与组建的股份公司,后改名为“海援队”,从事贸易和运输,形成相当规模,海援队后来解散了,但是其中贸易和运输等大部分事业都继续下来,演变成三菱公司,三菱的海运部门又发展成为非常有名的“日本邮船”。明治维新(1868年)后股份组织逐渐增多,但由于日本封建成份仍占主导地位, Japanese companies started relatively late. The initial stock organization was initiated by Sakamoto Ryoma and Kameyama Club in the late Edo Period and more than 20 stockists participated in the establishment of a stock company. Later, the company was renamed the “Sea Help Team” to engage in trade and transportation. The formation of a considerable scale, the sea aid team later disbanded, but most of the trade and transportation and other businesses continue to evolve, evolved into Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi’s maritime sector has developed into a very famous “Japan’s ship.” After the Meiji Restoration (1868), the number of shareholding organizations gradually increased, but the Japanese feudal composition still dominated.
