Amazon Locker - 流通業界の戦い

It is quite popular in Japan that people can pick up their ordered goods at any convenience store nearby.  It is very convenient for bachelor people who do not home during the day time.

I found Amazon starts the similar service; Amazon Locker at one of shopping malls at downtown Seattle.  Amazon will do some market testing here in Seattle due to Amazon HQ is here same as Amazon Fresh.  There are still a plenty of rooms for logistics business improvement with online business solution.

ここシアトルダウンタウンにあるショッピングモールで見つけました。

日本ではコンビニで注文した品物のピックアップが出来ますが、アメリカでコンビニ＝ガソリンスタンド横＝危ないイメージですから無理ですね。日本のコンビニが米国に逆上陸でその一端を変える市場形成の可能性はありますが。

このサービスが街中にコンビニの乱立する日本やアジア市場でそのまま入れるかどうか？
でも逆に日本の大都市だと駅構内で通勤客向けには便利なサービスになるでしょうね。

佐川急便やクロネコヤマトも次の手を考えないと？
郵便局の生き残りの付加価値はどこに？

まだまだ流通業界の新しいビジネスサービスの余地はありそうです。

Company Mission 経営理念

Guess which company this mission statement is.

You might not be able to tell that this is current Microsoft mission statement.
It does not talk about anything about software or IT.

I touched about Company culture when I visited Amazon Japan in this blog ( Amazon Japan Visit.)

When Microsoft started, I remember that Bill Gates was talking about PC at every home and everyone.

Michael Dell is still trying to challenge to buy back the company investing all his money.
He can just retire and enjoy the rest of his life.
He did not choose that option.

The importance of Mission Statement is not only for business but also politics, education and all others.

Move your heart towards your goal and your body start walking to that direction.

Video Marketing

Good example how important marketing is ! ?

Time to advertise by video, not words, not photos.... but video!

What do you think of this Wacoal CM?

日本はマーケティングが下手と思っていたけど、さにあらず！？
今後の広告は文字、写真でなくビデオ時代といういい例でしょうか？

On your feet !

Once you make an action, you will find the possibility even 1% upto 100% to succeed; however, it remains 0% possibility if you do not take an action at all.

You should not wait until someone feed you.

You can even catch luck with your own action.

Do not stay in safety zone.  Later, you might find that you will be in dangerous zone which possibility could be said minus.  You might find you get too old to stand up.

A Bus is leaving with a chance.  Just get in!  You can think once you get in a bus.

If you just wait for a bus until you have a confidence.... you may find a next bus will never come!

Company Culture - Amazon Japan

Had a meeting with Amazon at Amazon Japan in Tokyo accompanying my client.
Very different business style from Microsoft.

I believe that it is very important to create its own unique company culture based on mission statement.  River fish cannot live in ocean and vice versa.

College students.... I recommend to find your job to fit in your skin.  Do not choose a job just by company name or salary.

Challenge - チャレンジとは

Challenge !

It is not to start something new.

It is not to give up until you succeed.
Challenge is Continuation !

挑戦とは！

新しいことを始めることではない。

成功するまで諦めないこと。
挑戦とは継続なり！
