💡 JP Vending Machines 🤖 - AI DX Opportunities for Small Businesses 📈 I have always been a big fan of vending machines in Japan as they have always been better than those in all other countries...especially the US 😁 Suntory has been using AI to optimize their vending machine business, analyzing data in real-time to predict demand, manage stock, and adjust product offerings. This is a great example of how smaller local businesses can benefit from similar AI-driven strategies. Seeing a large corporation utilize DX to potentially help support local businesses is a great way to spearhead benefits on a larger scale. The following article has Suntory's and a couple other use cases for Japan utilizing AI for DX. -> https://lnkd.in/gegaQDKr

MaaS (Mobility as a Service) - The Future of Transportation I want to share with you this post by Hanako Kawasaki about an article on our website written by Kana N. regarding the whole MaaS Phenomenon. The article is in Japanese so for a quick English summary it covers: What is MaaS? Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is revolutionizing the way we move. By integrating various transportation modes like buses, trains, taxis, and bike-sharing into one seamless service, MaaS allows users to plan, book, and pay for their trips using just a smartphone. It represents a paradigm shift from owning vehicles to using mobility services, making travel more convenient and efficient. Why is MaaS Gaining Attention? The potential of MaaS is immense, attracting interest from IT companies, automakers, financial institutions, and energy firms. Beyond improving transportation, MaaS addresses urban planning, environmental issues, and the needs of an aging society. It promises to reduce car dependency, lower environmental impact, and support social inclusion. Stages of MaaS Development MaaS services are typically categorized into five levels: Level 0: Independent transportation services Level 1: Integrated information and route searches Level 2: Unified booking and payment platforms Level 3: Subscription-based services Level 4: Integration with societal goals (yet to be achieved globally) In Japan, most MaaS services are at levels 1-2, while Europe and the US are advancing to level 3, with further progress anticipated. MaaS Business Overview Key players in the MaaS ecosystem include: Mobility Service Providers: Offer car-sharing (e.g., Times Car), bike-sharing (e.g., Hello Cycling), and person-to-person car sharing (e.g., Anyca). Shared Passive Services: Include ride-sharing (e.g., Uber Pool) and on-demand bus and taxi services (e.g., Osaka Metro’s on-demand bus). MaaS Operators MaaS operators provide the platforms and apps connecting services with users. These platforms integrate various transportation options, facilitating easy access to travel information, payments, bookings, and route planning through user-friendly apps. MaaS is set to transform transportation, making it smarter and more sustainable. For more insights and updates on the automotive and mobility sectors, follow Turnpoint Consulting Co., Ltd .

Here's what your corporate website in Japan NEEDS to show (#2):   While you likely have a good idea of what content to include on your website, there might be a more effective way to present it for the Japanese market. In Japan, a company's website needs to first and foremost convey trustworthiness.   In Japan, a company's history is often seen as a key indicator of its trustworthiness. This is partly because Japan has a long history of businesses being passed down through generations, with some companies operating for centuries. Other thing is that it is important to clearly indicate the company's existence and ensure uninterrupted communication.   Example of company’s corporate profile page: https://lnkd.in/gF9C8AWZ   As you know Japanese people are fanatical about details and accuracy. Company’s address, phone number and e-mail address with people names, CEO and stuff are basic information required. With pictures of building your office and employees would better.   Japan has a long history of businesses being passed down through generations might be because of details and accuracy. In Japan, the train on the Yamanote Line, located in the center of the route map, travels approximately 18 laps and 6,34 kilometers in 1 day with an accuracy of within 15 seconds.   Since my company only 17 years old and can not have 1000 years history, we show where and ensuring uninterrupted communication for trustworthiness on our website.    Japan has 376 million business entities, but some studies suggest that a significant portion about 80% may not survive past the first few years and only 2% of them exists their business over 10 years.

👉👀 I'm looking at you NGOs. ⚡ So many briefs by well-meaning non-governmental organisations that intend to promote local Vietnamese community products mean well, but unfortunately fail to appreciate some simple marketing truths. 💡 Our friends at Collective Design Agency rightly point out the added value that good branding provides. 📝 So next time you draw up a request for proposal, ensure your brief includes more than a budget for graphic designer, as design alone isn't sufficient to deliver the added value that good brand strategy and thinking can deliver.

I wrote the column on " B Corp" in Japan. Some B entrepreneurs seek for the opportunity to go public. I am curious to know how the stakeholder capitalism they exemplify would survive in the public capital market, where shareholder is the king. he followings are translated and summarized by GPT-4; The "B Corp" certification system, which aims to address environmental and social issues through business, is gaining traction in Japan. Currently, 41 Japanese companies have been certified by the U.S. non-profit B Lab, marking a fivefold increase over three years. This growth has attracted international attention. Companies such as Sanu, which provides eco-friendly vacation home subscriptions, and Fermenstation, which produces food and cosmetic ingredients using fermentation technology, are pursuing IPOs to support rapid business expansion and enhance their social impact. Sanu, since its founding in 2019, has raised a total of 12 billion yen in equity and debt. It aims to expand from "20 domestic locations and 102 rooms" to "30 locations and 200 rooms" by the end of the year, and ultimately to "100 global locations" by 2028. Fermenstation is also aiming to go public to support its growth strategy of increasing sales tenfold in the next few years. However, the capital market's pressure to maximize profits poses significant challenges. Kuradashi, which addresses food loss issues, experienced a stock price decline after going public. Director Kohei Tokuyama emphasized the importance of facing market pressure. The founder of Patagonia, Yvon Chouinard, who is supported by B Corp entrepreneurs, rejected the IPO option as a "disaster," highlighting the difficulties of balancing social impact with profitability. Public companies can raise funds more easily, aiding in solving global social issues, but must navigate the harsh realities of the capital market. To avoid making an IPO a "monumental failure," businesses must be strengthened to withstand market pressures. Japanese public entrepreneurs aim to balance social impact with profitability, learning from Patagonia’s approach.
