  • Foreign Direct Investment in the Processed Food Sector
    CHAPTER 3 Foreign Direct Investment in the Processed Food Sector The Concept and Scope of Foreign Direct Investment In addition to trade in goods themselves, such as processed foods, there is a large volume of international exchange of capital and technology used for food manufacturing and distribution. Modern measures of a country’s or a firm’s international competitiveness incorporate sales from foreign affiliates of home-country firms in addition to international trade (Horstmann and Markusen 1987, Kravis and Lipsey 1992, Porter 1990). Foreign affiliation can occur in various ways: license production to a foreign firm, franchise a foreign firm to market products under the home firm’s trademark, acquire a minority interest in a foreign firm, develop a joint venture with a foreign partner, or obtain complete or majority ownership of foreign operations. For purposes of this report, foreign direct investment (FDI) refers to investment in a foreign affiliate. The term “foreign affiliate” is used to identify a foreign entity in which a parent firm holds a substantial (but not necessarily majority) ownership interest. Parent firms are referred to as multinational firms or corporations (MNC’s). U.S. firms’ investing in production facilities in other countries is known as outbound FDI, while foreign firms’ investing in facilities located in the United States is known as inbound FDI. Foreign direct investment is distinctly different from foreign portfolio investments and other international capital flows such as bank deposits. Portfolio investment takes a passive management role and does not seek control over decisionmaking within the firm. Foreign direct investment, by contrast, is defined as the ownership of assets in an affiliate by a foreign firm for the purpose of exercising control over the use of those assets.

HOW TO JOIN THE FRANCHISES EARNING SUCCESS Ichiro Fujita advises on franchising in Japan Japan Report Receptive to Western ideas and culture, Japan has long been a target destination for Western franchisors. However, brands eager to set up shop in this lively market should look carefully before they leap; this country may appear thoroughly Westernized, but cultural differences run deep and these should be properly understood before that first step Eastwards is taken.

  • Christmas in Japan Means Kentucky Fried Chicken
    FINGER LICKIN’ GOOD: CHRISTMAS IN JAPAN MEANS KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN E-COMMERCE IN JAPAN: A CANADIAN PERSPECTIVE CASE STUDIES THE FOLLOWING CASE STUDIES illustrate real-life examples of firms considering entry to the Japanese market with an e-commerce platform as the major component of their strategy. The cases are not intended to demonstrate correct or incorrect approaches to participating in the Japanese market. Rather, they serve to provide illustrations of how firms recognize opportunities, embark on an initiative, encounter positive and negative trends, and in so doing attempt to profit from the Japanese market. Ideally, the reader should be able to place themselves in the shoes of the protagonist in the case and question whether they would have embarked on the same strategies or have chosen to do things differently. 2018 E-COMMERCE IN JAPAN: A CANADIAN PERSPECTIVE CASE STUDY 2018 E-COMMERCE IN JAPAN: 3 CASE STUDY II: FINGER LICKIN’ GOOD CASE STUDY II: FINGER LICKIN’ GOOD: CHRISTMAS IN JAPAN MEANS KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN1 “I’ll definitely miss the lineups this year,” says Ryohei Ando. “I’ll make sure to reserve our bucket online at least two weeks before Christmas on the KFC website. We won’t get the cake this year, but I may get some bath salts as a novelty gift. And of course, we’ll get the big Party Barrel of chicken.” Ando is a 40-year old marketing executive in a Tokyo sporting goods company, who celebrated Christmas as a child with his family by tucking into a big bucket of Colonel Sanders’ finger lickin’ good Kentucky Fried Chicken (with 11 secret herbs and spices).
