Innovation and Dynamics in Retailing

Hendrik Meyer-Ohle

Chapter 1 in Innovation and Dynamics in Japanese Retailing, 2003, pp 3-14 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Japanese retailing and distribution systems have been described variously as a non-tariff barrier to market entry for foreign products, an appendix to Japan’s social security system and labor market by providing work for a high number of employees, a highly service-oriented environment neglecting aspects of costs and efficiency, or a residue of the Japan of the past. Anyone who has been to Japan will certainly find most of these assumptions to contain some truth.
