Abstract:
Japan, the second largest economy in the world with its huge consumer markets, has enticed many foreign retailers to start their businesses in the country. However, success in the Japanese retail markets has always been difficult for any retailer.
Even the world's biggest retailer, Wal-Mart experienced a tough time gaining ground in the Japanese retail market.
With the rising competition from bigger foreign entrants, domestic retailers in Japan have been facing a tough time sustaining themselves. Among a few successful domestic companies are Uniqlo and Beard Papa, which belongs to the Muginoho Group and sell cream puffs.
