PRELIMINARY In the last three decades, Japan as a developed country faces several problems at once. Namely, thedemographicproblems,stagnanteconomicgrowthfor twodecades,andtheFukushimacrisis.However, it isnotagreatnationifitcannotsolvebigproblems.Japanhasonceagainprovedtotheworldthattheycanrisefromtheproblem.TheresolutionofPrimeMinisterShinzoAbeorbetterknownasAbenomicshasshownquitepromisingresults.Sinceitsimplementationin2013,Japanhasachievedthefollowingachievements1:

1. TheamountofGrossDomesticProductgrewfrom495trillion to532 trillionyenbetweenthe2012and2015.ThefigurebelowillustratesthedifferencesbeforeandafterAbenomics:

Abenomics strategy drive from three main gear: Productivity Boost, Innovation and Trade, and EnergizeCorporateActivities.Abenomics aims to reach600 trillion Yen in the future. Somepeople contend that thisachievement is pure because of the Abenomics and Shinzo Abe factor. However, I believe that theseachievementsarehappeningbecauseofmanyinternalandexternalfactor.ThetraditionalvaluesofJapanesesociety (i.e., loyalty, detail, optimism, perfection) play a crucial role.

MARKETINGANALYSISREPORTStudyCase:DaisoandHarajukuStreet

A. Daiso

Behind the relatively high prices of goods,Japanhasa shoppingplace thatoffersgoodsat a low price of 100 yen or maybe aroundRp11,700 (exchange rate of 1 yen = 117rupiahs).Moreover, amongst the largest 100yenstoresinallofJapan,ashopcalledDaisois one of the best known and touted as themostcomplete100yen.Daisoisabig100-yenstore franchise in Japan. Daiso is owned byDaisoSangyoCorp.Daiso carries nearly 70.000 kinds of

household and personal items, ranging fromknick-knacks suchas Japanese-style fan,piggybank, key chains,or stationery.

B. HarajukuStreetHarajukuarea,especiallyonTakeshitaDori(TakeshitaStreet)isthe center of Japan's most extreme teenage cultures andfashion styles. Their streets are lined with many shops,boutiques, second-hand stores, crepe stands and fast food.These outlets are always following the fashion and trend,especiallyforadolescence3.

Harajuku street is never emptyof visitors, bothdomestic andforeign tourists. The number of visitors Harajuku streetindicates the successful implementation of marketingstrategies.

In my opinion, Indonesia has potential to develop shoppingcenterlikeHarajukuinJapanafterIdothePESTLEanalysis.

PESTLE Analysis, is a tool in understanding the big picture ofthe business environment besides the opportunities and

threatsthathappenaroundthebusiness.Thus, this analysiswillhelpustogetabetterunderstandingand create a betterstrategythatmaximizes theopportunitiesand minimize thethreats.

Specifically,thePESTLEanalysisisatoolfordetermineastrategicpositioningofourbusinessandmaximizesitspotential.Thisanalysisalsousedtogiveinfluenceontheorganization.

Inthiscase,PESTLEanalysisatHarajukuStreetare:

1. PoliticalPolitical factors include applicable laws, government policies, and formal or informal rules in thecorporateenvironment(ex-taxpoliciesandlocalregulations).Accordingtotheobservationsinthefield,thegovernmentsupportstheHarajukuStreet.Thegovernment legalizedandmadeHarajukustreetasone of the tourist destination. Somepeople take advantage of this place as a center to find supportfromyoungpeoplebyorganizingvariouseventsinthisarea.

2. EconomicEconomicfactorsincludeeveryfactorthataffectsthebusinessclimateofacompanyandthepurchasingpowerof thecustomer (i.e.economicgrowthandexchange rate).Basedonobservations in the field,thepriceofasimilarproductislowerinJapanthaninIndonesia.Forexample,thepriceofiPhonethatwassold inDaisoJapanonly60-70%fromIndonesia’sprice.This lowerprice isduetothestrengthofYenoverIndonesianRupiah.Moreover,thepriceforalloverseastouristdidnotinclude7%tax.

3. SocialSocialfactorsincludeeverythingthatcanaffectthesizeoftheexistingmarketshareandtheneedsofthecustomer(i.e.populationgrowthrate,thelevelofpeople’seducation,socialenvironmentconditionandwork environment).

4. TechnologicalTechnological factors include everything that can increase the efficiency of the company's businessprocessesandhelpinfacingbusinesschallenges(i.e.discoveriesanddevelopment,costandbenefitoftechnology, and the impact that brought from technological change).

C. RecommendationAfter doing marketing analysis on Daiso and Harajuku street, the are some recommendations to improvebusinesspracticesinIndonesia:1. Thegovernmentandthebusinesscommunitycancreatetheconceptofhouseholdsupermarketssuchas

Daiso, with typical products coming from various regions in Indonesia, with reasonable price. Such ashandbagsfromBaliwovenfabric,orpencilcasefromLampungcloth.Inthiscase,thecentralgovernmentshould collaborate effectively with local government and business community from all regions inIndonesia.

2. ThebusinessmandevelopstypicalIndonesianproducts,whetherintheformofgoodsorfood.Theyalsoshould create a product standard by registering it into a patent, thenmade a community place in theshapeofastreetthatalsosellstheproduct.

CROSSCULTURALANALYSISREPORTItispossibleforIndonesiatoreachtheJapan'sSuccessstorythroughcross-cultureanalysis.Crossculturereferstoacompany'sinitiativestounderstandbettereachofdifferentgroups,tocreateeffectivecommunicationorto set up marketing efforts that can reach customers and clients outside its traditional market. The cross-cultural analysis is intended to strengthen the interaction of customer from two or more differentbackgrounds.Thisanalysis isavital issuein internationalbusiness4.Cross-culturalconsumeranalysis isbasedon a research find out how do the two different customers have similar or different in their consumptionhabits.5A. Value,Believes,andPolicyAtypicalJapanesemindsetinbuyingproducts.

1. LookingforsomethingnewField report fromGinzaandAkihabaraareas (electronics store town indowntownTokyo), I noticedJapanese consumers' love to have new gadgets, newproducts, and new technologies. This lifestyleindicatesthatJapanesepeoplewilllookfornewestproductsatanyprice.

2. High-qualitystandardsThe Japanese customers are very concerned with the quality of the product. Seen from goodspurchased in Japan,mostof theproductpurchased inordinarymerchants, thisproductstilldurableandfullyfunctionaluntiltwoyears.

Japanese consumerbehavior onproduct quality is the reaction from theproducts that producedby a high-quality standard. Although Japan has an open trade policy, the producer of the product still needs to fulfillcertain standard criteria before they can enter the Japanese Market. Besides, they must keep their highstandardtosurvivethecompetitioninJapaneseMarket.B. AcculturationMostof theacculturationprocess in Japan is came fromWesternCulture.Namely,Christiancelebration likeChristmas, new year and even Halloween always celebrated massively in Japan, although the majority ofJapanese society is not a Christian.Most of the Japanese customer see this celebration as the celebrationwithout theunderstand the realmeaningbehind theevent. This condition iswell usedbymanufacturers inJapantosellgoodsaccordingtothethemeofcelebration.C. WorldBrandsIfwetalkedabouttheworldbrand,Japanisanoutstandingmarketshareforabrandthatputforwardqualitywithhighstandard.Thisphenomenoncanbeseenwhenvisited Japan.Almostallpeopleused iPhonebrandphones. iPhone became a leading brand and dominated the mobile phone market in Japan.

However, not all of these successful products have successfully penetrated Indonesia’smarket due to halalcertificationproblems.Forexample,Oreoicecreamsandwiches,BaskinRobbinsNougat,LaysFlavorMacandCheeseorPepsiSaltyWatermelon.MostofthefoodproductsinIndonesiamusthavehalalcertificationtogetcustomer’sattentions.

Refers to the Japanese product, a lot of Japanese products that became the world brand entered theIndonesianmarket.ThelatestproductthatenteredwasPablobread.Ontheotherhand,foodproductssuchasKitKat, electronic products such as Sony, Toshiba, Hitachi, Casio and vehicles such as Honda, Toyota andDaihatsuwereinthetoppositionofthemarketshareinIndonesia.Interestingly,Indonesia'sproductsthatentertheJapanesemarketismostlyfoodproducts.Theexampleoftheproducts that pass through the rigorous selection of self-service and Japanese health agencies are naturalhoneyproducts,herbaltea(PTAksaraKencanaPutra),gingerdrink(PTIntrafood),snacks,instantnoodles(PTIndofood CBP SuksesMakmur), and coffee Indonesia (PT AimfoodManufacturing Indonesia). In addition tofoodproducts,otherproductssuchasPolygon(bicycle)andToshibaalsoentertheJapanesemarket.However,itlacksanameintheJapanesemarket.

D. RecommendationAfter doing cross-cultural analysis, Indonesia can imitate the process of cross-cultural marketing in JapanbecauseIndonesiahasaverystrategiclocationbetweentwolargecontinentsandtwolargeoceans.Indonesiahas become and pluralmaritime country for thousand years ago. Indonesia is a perfect place for exchangetransactionfromdifferentcultures.ThenatureofahighconsumerismofIndonesianpeoplemakesIndonesiaan up-and-coming target market for Developed Country.

A. AboutFPCorporationFPCorporationisamanufactureroffoodplacesnumberoneinJapan.Thisfoodplaceisusedforitemssuchaspre-cookedfoodthatiseasilydamagedandbentolunchboxesthataresoldinsupermarketsandstores.ThestrengthsofFPCorporationcanbeseenthrough:

1. Products.TheproductisanitemneededbytheentireJapanesesociety;2. Technology. FP Corporation has an industrial technology innovation in the processing of

environmentallyfriendlyrawmaterials;3. NetworkInfrastructure.FPCorporationHasaninfrastructurenetworkcoveringallareasofJapan;4. Recycling.FPCorporationhasagoodrecyclingsystemcalledcircularrecycling.

FP Corporation utilizes an infrastructure network that covers all areas in Japanwith excellent Supply ChainManagement (SCM) systems. In general, FP Corporation connects the capabilities of suppliers, companiesthroughgreatproductionprocesses,distributionpower,recycling,andinformationnetworks.

FPCorporationhasrunSCMsupplychainmanagementsystemwith:

1. Preparingthemanufacturingschedule;2. Managedetailedprocurementplanning;3. Developingaproductinventoryplanbasedonthesalesplan;4. Preparingtheintendedtransferofmanufacturingequipmenttothefactoryaccordingtodemand.

Byoperatingtheaboveprocedure,FPCorporationcanoptimizeoveralldistributioncostswherebythere isahugecostreductionenablingeffectivedistributiontotheshippingarea.Therefore,theSCMpracticeappliedbyFPCorporationisoneofthebestbusinesspracticesinJapan.B. SourcingandSupplyManagementOne of the critical stages in Supply Chain Management is the sourcing and supply management. Supplymanagementcanbedefinedastheidentification,acquisition,andsupplierrelationshipsthataneededbythecompany to attain its strategic objectives. Swink (2014) claims that sourcing includes the identification,evaluation,andselectionofsuppliers,isanessentialpartofsupplymanagement.Suppliers will provide a broad range of resources to the organization. Sourcing and SupplyManagement isessential to achieve the target of the organization. Organizations buy not only raw materials, parts, andcomponents to create their products but also indirect materials such as office supplies to support theorganization’sgoal.FP Corporation is the example of the Company that successfully implement and innovate this Supply ChainManagement. This essaywill explain the benefits and the drawbacks of sourcing decision in FP CorporationsupplymanagementbasedontheresultsofthecompanyvisitonFebruary2,2017.ItismycontentionthattheCompanyhasalreadyimplementedtheefficientprocessofthesupplymanagementforseveralreasons.FirstTheir rawmaterial is theirproducts. InFPCorporation, inputmaterialwasobtained fromthewasteof theirfoodtraysproducts.Theserawmaterialsthenwererecycledintonewfoodtrays.FPCorporationmanagestheinputmaterial tomake food dishes alsomade recycling plant 26 years ago.

SecondThe Company has agreements with 8400 suppliers. FP Corporation’s recycling method use the trays andtransparentcontainersfrom8,400supermarkets.Thesematerialsaresortedbasedonthematerial.Thesortingpoint centers are spread in nine places nationwide.

Then, thesorted products are transported to recycling plants. This recycling plants is the place where they arereprocessed into new trays and containers. Their high degree of precision in undertaking manual sortingsupports the production of high-quality Eco Tray products.

C.

Consumers are required to separate PET bottles, glass and tin (steel andaluminum)bottles.Companiesare requiredto recollectandreuse (recycle)containersof theirproducts, likePETbottles,glassbottlesandsoon.Then,inApril2000cameoutanotherlawregulatingthewrappingofpaperandothertypesofplasticsotherthanPETbottles.

Therefore, it is endeavored for its use to be limited andredefinedasmuchaspossible.Becauseof this governmentpolicy, FPCorporation canmanage thebusinessprocesswell.

The Japanesegovernment imposedstrict regulationsondisposingofgarbage in Japan.Ranging frompickingwastetodisposalbycategories,wrappinggarbagebytypeuntilthetimetogetridoftrash.

AssetManagementRoleLooking at the business processes of Sourcing and SupplyManagement FP Corporation, not apart from theimportant role of assetmanagement. FP Corporationmustmanage the asset tomake the business processworkproperly,whetherfixedassetsorotherassets.Theresultsoftheanalysis,therearefixedassetsthatbecomethemostimportantpartinthecircularrecycleofFP Corporation's, there are Trucks, Equipment and Machinery, and Building.
