授業の目的・方法
/Course Objectives and method
Since the advent of Japan as one of the world’s top economic powers during the latter part of the twentieth century, academic and journalistic interest has focused on uncovering and explaining the characteristics of Japanese corporate business and marketing methods. Especially during the 1980s and 90s, many experts sought to unravel the secrets behind the success of Japanese marketers in foreign markets and tried to explain the peculiarities of the Japanese market to foreign marketers. Despite a recent shift of attention from Japan to China —because of the economic ascendance of China on the one hand and the relative decline of the Japanese economy on the other— Japan remains one of the world’s largest and most sophisticated markets and remains a very important but difficult market for many foreign marketers.
In this course we will take an in-depth look at relevant characteristics of marketing, distribution, advertising, and consumer behavior in Japan. Our primary focus will be on the characteristics of Japanese consumers, how these characteristics have evolved over time, and how consumer behavior affects the various aspects of corporate marketing strategies and tactics of both Japanese and foreign companies operating in the Japanese market. This course will show that in the 21st century the characteristics of Japanese marketing and consumer behavior continue to evolve and constitute a moving target for domestic and foreign-affiliated companies alike.
The course is organized around student presentations and class discussion of key readings from the relevant English-language academic literature.
