    Who Imitates Whom? An Empirical Study on New Product Introductions in the Japanese Soft-drink Industry Shigeru Asaba Gakushuin University Department of Economics 1-5-1 Mejiro Toshima-ku Tokyo, 171-8588 JAPAN E-mail: [email protected] Tel: +81-3-5992-3649 FAX: +81-3-5992-1007 Marvin B. Lieberman The Anderson School at UCLA Box 951481 Los Angeles, CA 90095-1481 E-mail: [email protected] Tel: 310-206-7665 Fax: 310-206-3337 February 19, 2011 1 Who Imitates Whom? A Study on New Product Introductions in the Japanese Soft-drink Industry ABSTRACT Imitation is observed in various contexts in the business world and numerous theories on imitation have been proposed. Incumbent theories on imitation are organized into two broad categories: information-based theories and rivalry-based theories. Information-based theories propose that firms follow others that are perceived as having superior information. Rivalry-based theories propose that firms imitate others to maintain competitive parity or limit rivalry. This study tries to distinguish among the theories by examining when and what kinds of firms are more likely to be followed by others in their new product introductions in the Japanese soft-drink industry. The empirical analysis shows that in brand-new product imitation, firms follow large competitors, while in product proliferation within established product categories, firms do not tend to follow large firms but mimic others of similar size. These contrasting results are reasonable, suggesting that two theories on imitation coexist and environmental uncertainty may be one of key distinguishing characteristics. In the case of brand-new products, firms face much uncertainty.

  • Sencha – Japan’S Green Tea
    Sencha – Japan’s green tea Sencha (煎茶) is Japan's most consumed and also the most produced tea variety. This green tea owes its popularity due to the refreshing taste and the numerous variations. Depending on the time of harvesting a Sencha can either get a sweet or tarty taste. For Sencha is usally the outstanding variety Yabukita used which makes up about 77% of all cultivated tea cultivars. But, depending on terroir, are also completely different varieties such as Yutakamidori or Asatsuyu used. Varieties of Sencha Sencha can be divided into many different categories. But mainly, it is is distinguished by harvest time and steaming duration. A very early harvested Sencha for example is generally of a higher quality and the tea leaves are finer than a later harvested (eg. Bancha). Asamushi (浅 虫), Sencha which was only slightly steamed (about 30s). Chumushi, Sencha with medium steaming (30-90s). This is the standard steaming time. Fukamushi (深 蒸し), deep steamed Sencha (1-2 min). It is often marketed as Fukamushicha. Jo Sencha (上 煎茶), fine Sencha. Toku Jo Sencha, (特 上 煎茶), extra fine Sencha. Hachijuhachiya Sencha (八 十八 夜), tea that was harvested 88 days (literally nights) after Risshun, the beginning of spring. Shincha (新 茶) is the first harvest of a year. Kabusecha or Kabuse Sencha is like Gyokuro a shaded tea. It's often regarded as a own tea variety. Production of Sencha Sencha is nowadays mostly harvested by machine and immediately steamed in order to prevent oxidation (kill green). This method, also called the Japanese method, ensures that the tea tastes very fresh.
