A Micro Analysis of the Japanese Distribution Systems

本着根据企业的具体经营实践，实证分析日本式流通体制特点的研究目的，笔者分析了上市零售企业的长期财务状况，并对相关人士进行了访谈，通过问卷调查的方式对配送中心和食品超市的门店运营系统进行了调查，分析表明，核心组织在零售服务感知质量的可变性、商店的分散性和异质性以及所处理的物品的多样性的背景下，在两个因素的强烈影响下-商业区域的特征和历史初始条件-产生能力。

In line with the study purpose of demonstratively analyzing the characteristics of the Japanese-style distribution system based on concrete business practices of companies, I analyzed long-term financial positions of listed retailers, carried out interviews with relevant people, and conducted surveys on delivery centers and food supermarkets' store operation systems by sending questionnaire to companies.The analysis shows the possibility that the core organizational ability is created under the strong influence of two factors -the characteristic features of a business area and historical initial conditions- against the backdrop of the variability of retail service's perceived quality ; the dispersion and heterogeneity of stores ; and the diversity of items handled.
