Foreign brands in Japanese markets 08bn032e
Foreign brands in Japan • Food • Mc Donald‘s(US), Starbucks(US), Subway(US) • Clothing • GAP(US), H&M(Sweden), ZARA(Spain)
In my presentation… • Classify the companies into different fields • Compare each company strategy • Analyze how they succeeded in a different cultural nation
Starbucks(US) • Brand Strategy • Define their own strategy • Advertisements<partner training • Target customers & brand level = match • Japan… • Urban areas: small stores
IKEA(Sweden) • US • Redesign • Large parking areas • China • Houses: furniture for apartments, balconies • Stores: Near transportation • Delivery service
Zara(Spain) • Global • 200 designers from 20 countries • Lead time • Plan ~production: 1week • Plan ~endorsement: 15 days
Conclusion • ZARA • Global from production = no need to chose their market • Starbucks: No change in strategy • Arrange their products • IKEA: Slightly change their strategy • Redesign Each firm has their strategy according to their product and market
