Japan could be a potential market for Dell.

Dell Inc. is a growing company that provides a range of computer products for enterprise markets and consumers. Dell offers a broad range of desktops and notebook PC’s. They also offer printers, network servers, projectors, storage systems, Ethernet switches, and work stations. The company markets third party software and provides system integration, support, and training. We believe that Japan would be a potential market for Dell Inc. Japan is the largest potential market with double the potential demand for computer technology. If Dell Inc. wants to be a leading computer industry it has to have a business in Japan.

Japan’s legal system is based on the Anglo-American tradition, which they operate under the Six Code (Roppo). The Six Codes are: 1) the constitution, 2) the civil code, 3) the code of civil procedure, 4) the penal code, 5) the code of criminal procedure, and 6) the commercial code. Japan is a democratic country, but is a different kind of democracy then France and Germany. The political system in Japan consists of four political parties. These political parties are: 1) Liberal Democratic Party, 2) Komeito, 3) Democratic Party of Japan, and 4) Japanese Communist Party. These political parties change constantly, which confuses the public utterly. The changes these parties go through are name changes, regrouping, and undergoing splitting of factions.

Japan’s election system consists of three types of elections: 1) general elections to the House of Representatives, 2) elections to the House of Councillors, and 3) local elections for offices in the villages. Each election is supervised by election committees at each level. The legal age for voting in Japan is 20 years old. The minimum age for running for the House of Representatives is 30 years old and the minimum age for running for the House of Councillors is 25 years old. The House of Representatives in Japan consists of 480 members while the House of Councillors consists of 252 members. Japan’s law does not allow candidates to write any propaganda during the elections which they can not campaign on the internet.

Japan is heavily involved in the finance of the economy, which they call it the Bubble Economy. They lend money to customers at a low interest rate and turn around and give the money back to the banks at a high interest rate. Japan’s government has come up with an extra budget to help the weakened Japanese economy with bad loans and the slow down of the inflow of capital.

  • Comparing Britain To Japan

    1099 Words  | 3 Pages

    In 1900 Britain was in many respects the world’s leading nation, enjoying a large share of world trade, a dominant position in the international money market, and possessing a far flung empire supported by the world’s most powerful navy. Japan was a complete contrast, sharing with Britain only the fact that it too was a nation of Islands lying off the shore of a major continent. Until the 1860s it had possessed a social and economic structure more akin to that of feudal, rather than twentieth century, Europe. By the 1990s, the positions were almost reversed. This paper sets out to examine the contrasting democratic political systems of the two nations and to explore the social and democratic consequences of the changes that have occurred.

  • The Constitution of Japan

    1778 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Constitution of Japan contains articles about equality between men and women but many times, law is not properly enforced or enacted. Keeping this in mind, the true extent to which the federal legislation actually augmented women's freedoms needs to be analyzed. This is why the subject of my research is, "To what extent did the Japanese Constitution result in greater freedom and increased rights for Japanese women in the mid twentieth century?" The scope of this research is valuable because it examines the development of feminism in Japan, which empowered women and explains the development of equal rights. The historical significance is that it can provide helpful information that can be applied to studying current global issues in which inequality between the sexes is visible. Journal articles about and federal bills of the Japanese Constitution will be investigated to analyze the conditions promised on paper, while primary accounts of Japanese women's lives will be examined to discover the true extent in which these new laws were enforced and how much independence the women genuinely gained. Furthermore, general conditions of women in the several decades after the proclamation of the Constitution will also be analyzed since such legislation can take several years to alter society.

  • Cultural Differences Between Japan And The United States

    Japan and the U.S. both have a structure in society. Japan has an order based on the principles of Confucius, an ancient Chinese philosopher (Anderson School  UCLA, http, 1999). These principles give the Japanese resolute values on society. Since the teachings of Confucius stressed total respect and kindness throughout relationships, it is normal that the Japanese use them in most practices. The Japanese are very family oriented. Devotion to the crowd is first and foremost in their actions. Also, that brings a little discipline into the equation. Japanese people are more inclined to do well for the sake of family. Because if oversight occurs, the family is seen as responsible not the person who acted (Anderson School  UCLA, http, 1999).

  • Dell Business Strategy Change

    1926 Words  | 4 Pages

    Historically, personal computer companies produced most of the components for a computer which they assembled into their final products and distributed to resellers. The manufacturing of these components was vertically integrated into the organisation. Dell, as a small start-up, could not build this infrastructure. Instead, they developed a model where they developed relationships with organisations that could provide these components, allowing Dell to focus on selling and delivering computers. By selling directly to customers, initially through mail orders and later by using the internet, Dell avoided reseller mark-up. Dell also enabled customers to order customised computers, which Dell then assembled after receiving the order (Magretta, 1998, p.73-74). “Customers got exactly the computer they wanted and Dell saved money making the computers only when they were ordered” (Hill & Seggewiss, 2008)....

After World War II the Japanese economy was deeply affected by shortages, inflation, and currency devaluation means that Japanese economy was bankrupt position. Therefore, Japan passed under the control of US in the post- Second World War period. From this point, economic transformation or recovery or development has started in Japan with the impacts of US and Japanese governments. Besides this economic aid, US also guided Japan in democratization and demilitarization whereas Japanese government had direct role dealing with those developments different from what happened in Germany at that time. What it means that is Japanese government had played interventionist role into economy. On the other hand, one of the significant reasons of why US needed to help former enemy is the fact that after the WWII was the beginning of the Cold War and Russian presence was in the region. That’s why US made their contribution in order to revive Japan.

  • Dell's Competitive Strategy

    2470 Words  | 5 Pages

    Dell’s initial competitive strategy, when it was founded in 1984 by Michael Dell, was to focus mainly on differentiation. Its strategy was to sell customised personal computer systems directly to customers, which was a rapidly emerging market at that time (1). This was done by targeting second-time customers, those that already understand computers and know what they wanted. Meanwhile other companies at the time was selling “’plain brown wrapper’ computers” (2). By offering customisations, Dell gained a better understanding of customers’ needs and wants. This helped the organisation position itself differently against the more popular brands, such as Compaq and IBM.

    For the past decade, the Japanese economy has been one of the strongest and most stable economies in the world. In analyzing why it has been so successful, several factors must be considered. First, the education system of Japan is one of the highest ranked in the world. The reason for this is that Japanese children go to school and study more than students in most other countries. The school year lasts for 240 days and each school day is very long. Furthermore, most students go to "cram schools" to study even more after the regular school day is over. This is all in preparation for the college entrance exam (Morton, 251-255). Some people have also said that this prepares Japanese youth for their future in companies with jobs that require great dedication and 80 to 90 hour work weeks.
