Comparison study between Japan and UK on the strategy and collaboration in purchasing department

论文1中的主要实证研究结果发现，与英国买家一样，日本零售买家做出的理性购买决定几乎不受情感印象的影响。在有关零售买家的研究中，在“管理相似性”方面，研究发现英国和日本有很高的相似性。如第四章所示，日本主要零售商正在将西式分工融入他们的采购组织中。由此可见，问卷分析的结果与此相吻合。所谓的“日式管理”，普遍存在于生产和劳动管理领域。然而，与尘封的日式分销体系密切相关的零售业并没有独一无二的值得称赞的“日式管理”。相反，值得称赞的是对客户的回应，以及提供满足他们各种需求的产品。如果日本零售商是…更好地将制造技术与收集消费者信息相结合，并以低成本以广泛的产品满足消费者的需求，日本的零售管理将在日本以外获得更高的赞誉。目前，拥有强大购买力的日本零售业正在向这一点靠近。作为第一步，本研究考虑了买家组织的扩散程度和意义，并进行了分工。此外，这项研究还证实，尽管日本零售业与其独特的分销体系有关，但在购买决策方面与英国零售业相似。未来的日本零售市场可能是一个管理更加国际化的市场，包括外国零售公司的参与。这包括业绩不佳的零售商被买断收购外国资本的可能性，这些外国资本的内部管理层可能已经在进行理性的决策。较少

The results of main empirical studies in paper 1 found that, like buyers in the UK, Japanese retail buyers make rational buying decisions influenced little by emotional impressions. In terms of "management similarity" in the research concerning retail buyers, it was found that the UK and Japan share a high degree of similarity. As seen in Chapter 4, leading Japanese retailers are incorporating Western-style division of labor in their buying organizations. It may be seen that the results from the questionnaire analysis resembled these points.What is commonly acclaimed as "Japanese-style management" is generally found in the production and labor management fields. There is, however, no unique acclaim-worthy "Japanese-style management" in the retail industry, which is intimately connected with the dusty Japanese-style distribution system. Rather what is worthy of acclamation is response to customers, and the provision of products to meet their various demands. If Japanese retailers were a … More ble to combine manufacturing techniques with the collection of consumer information, and meet consumer demands with a wide range of products at a low cost, Japanese retail management would be more highly acclaimed outside Japan. At present the Japanese retail industry, with its strong buying power, is approaching this pointAs a first step, this research has considered the degree of diffusion, and significance of buyer organizations with divisions of labor. As well, this research has confirmed that the Japanese retail industry is, in spite of its connection with its own particular distribution system, similar to the UK retail industry in that buying decisions are carried out rationally.The Japanese retail market of the future is likely to be one with more internationalized management, including the participation of foreign based retail firms. This includes the possibility of poorly performing retailers being bought-out buy foreign capital whose internal management, it may be added, has already been carrying out rational decision making.
