  11. JAPAN MARKET RESEARCH ASSOCIATION

  12. Japan Marketing Research Association (JMRA) • Established in 1975 • Number of member companies : 98 (as of January, 2004) • Having ISO accreditation: 12 • Having Privacy Mark: 44 Chairman: Yasuo Miki Secretary general: Tadaaki Takayanagi No.1 Magami Building, 1-1-5, Koraku, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, 112-0004, Japan Phone:+81-3-3813-3577 Fax:+81-3-3813-3596 URL: http://www.jmra-net.or.jp/ E-mail: info@jmra-net.or.jp

  13. JMRA: Quality and Ethical Standard • JMRQS • The JMRA Marketing Research Quality Standard sets out quality standards for clients and safeguards respondents’ anonymity and privacy and member companies are required to comply from April 2002 • JMRA Guidelines • Protection of privacy, project arrangement, central location testing, street intercepts, telephone interviewing, mail survey and group discussions. • Internet survey guideline is in preparation • Privacy Mark • JMRA is one of the examination organization issuing permission to use the Privacy Mark • 31 of JMRA 89 member companies were permitted to use this mark by end of 2002

  14. Personal Information Protection Bills • The first comprehensive legislation by the Government to prevent leaks and the unlawful use of personal information (May, 2003) • Covers private firms, government organizations and independent administrative agencies, who handle a large volume of personal information, including client lists • The law obliges: • To prohibit obtaining personal information through unlawful measures or providing them to third parties without consent of those on the lists • To take safety measures to prevent such information from being leaked and to quickly process complaints about misuse of information • Up to six months in prison or a fine of not more than \300,000

  15. Some Points to Note (1) • Japan accounts for 7% of global research turnover and is by far the largest market for market research in Asia Pacific. However, research spends as a proportion of GDP is low (0.03% of GDP). • Japan is still a product and technology rather than consumer oriented country. Business place more confidence in information collected by their own staff than in marketing research. • Ad-hoc projects accounted for 67% of all 2001 sales of which 87% were quantitative and 13% were qualitative. Continuous projects, such as consumer panel and retail store panel, accounted for 33%. • Qualitative has grown in the past two decades and is now the primary information source for product / advertising concept development and consumer understanding.

  16. Some Points to Note (2) • Face-to-face including both in-home and hall and street, accounted for 42% of ad-hoc quantitative research projects in 2001. In-home interviews continued to fall to 24%. CAPI accounted for 3%. • Phone surveys are not prevalent and few agencies have CATI facilities. In 2001, telephone interviewing was used in 11% of ad-hoc surveys, 3% by CATI and 8% by Non-CATI. • 6% of ad-hoc sales are from online research in 2001 compared to 3% in 2000. • Incentives are absolutely necessary for respondent participation. Doctors and professionals command particularly high incentives. • For survey research proposes, respondents are generally categorized by annual household income levels. Social Grade common in European countries i.e. A, B, C1, C2, D is not applicable in Japan.
