Abstract

While the Japanese retail climate during the 1990s has been described overall as rough and highly challenging, eventually even leading to the downfall of prominent retailers, this period has not been equally disappointing for all companies alike. Some retailers have even managed to achieve surprising growth and have thereby established themselves as major players in Japanese retailing. These retailers have been doing so not only by responding to changes in consumer needs with adequate store formats and sales concepts but also by coming up with innovations along the whole value chain from product design to procurement, logistics and merchandising. Overall, the systematic approach they pursued in the development of their operations has become the trademark of successful Japanese retail companies of the 1990s and beyond.
