  • New Possibility of Local Broadcasting Station Using Local Animations

    New Possibility of Local Broadcasting Station Using Local Animations

    New Possibility of Local Broadcasting Station using Local Animations Takafumi YOKOYAMA*, Atsuyoshi SUEKANE* Kochi University of Technology* ABSTRACT: The Japanese broadcasting industry has been developing their business mainly from advertising. However, the decrease in advertisement has been continuing in recent years. Also, audience’s TV viewing habits have been changing, and the contact time has been decreasing every year. Also, the channels of distribution and devices for using visual image content have been changing greatly. Previously in Japanese broadcasting networks, the branches in Tokyo were the main producers and sales of programs and the relationship with local broadcasting stations had a factor as their infrastructure. However, because of the changes in recent years, there has been a demand for reform in Japanese broadcasting networks. Therefore, it is forecasted that management of local broadcasting stations will be extremely difficult due to the change in the relationship with broadcasting station in Tokyo. Hence, the local broadcasting station must structure a new business model. In Japan, content such as music and animation have been produced mainly in Tokyo in the same way programs have been produced. It is basically because they are labor intensive so it is necessary to complete these projects with many people using division of labor. Therefore, it has had the disadvantage of being expensive. However, because of the development of content production environment, it is possible to produce content with low cost and with few people. This has the possibility of spreading the content production, which has been mainly done in Tokyo, in local broadcasting stations, and content production that is originated in local broad casting stations has been increasing.

  • Unlocking the Potential of Kansai Companies

    Unlocking the Potential of Kansai Companies

    Unlocking the potential of Kansai companies McKinsey Japan Kansai Office June 2018 Authored by: André Andonian Motohiro Hojo Raymond Chan Daruma dolls at Katsuo-ji temple, Osaka. The script character on the dolls means “victory” in Japanese. Unlocking the potential of Kansai companies Preface The world is now facing change on a scale surpassing that of the Industrial Revolution. Today, such change is driven by several disruptive forces, including the growth of emerging economies, the disruptive evolution of technology, the increasing interconnectedness of the global economy, and the aging of populations across the world. One intriguing phenomenon leading from these forces, especially as economies and markets around the world grow more tightly linked, is the gradual rise in importance of regions and cities rather than countries. In other words, regional and metropolitan attractiveness and competitiveness today hold increasingly greater sway than do the countries containing those regions and cities. What does this mean for Kansai? Fundamentally, Kansai leaders need to consider both the sustainable growth of the region as well as the international competitiveness of its cities. They should consider how Kansai can evolve, using its historical, cultural, academic, and infrastructural advantages to create a grand vision for the future, and make the bold moves required to achieve that vision. A worthy vision for the public sector and infrastructure related sectors, such as electricity, gas, transit, construction, telecommunications, and broadcasting, could be to establish a region that enables sustainable lifestyles, leading to improved core competitiveness and attractiveness throughout the region. The manufacturing and service sectors, by contrast, could focus on a vision grounded in global competitiveness, achieved by undertaking organizational transformations, productivity improvements, and growth investments in innovation and M&A.
