Toys "R" Us opened its first international store in Singapore in 1974 and its first store in Japan in 1992. The Japan store saw large customer traffic and sales of $15-20 million compared to $10 million for U.S. stores. However, the company also faced challenges including Japanese laws limiting big store sizes, high land prices, import costs, and cultural differences around individualism versus collectivism. Over time, Toys "R" Us adapted by opening smaller stores, partnering with McDonald's, and becoming more integrated and accepted in local communities. Lessons included not always replicating the American model and better cooperating with local customs.

Toys "R" Us was founded in 1957 by Charles Lazarus and captured 20% of the US toy market by 1988. It faced major barriers entering Japan due to regulations protecting small retailers. It overcame this by establishing a joint venture in 1991, becoming the largest toy retailer in Japan within 20 years due to its large stores, direct buying from manufacturers, and adapting products for the Japanese market. Toys "R" Us now operates internationally with over 1,500 stores in 33 countries and revenues of $13.6 billion, pursuing strategies like eco-friendly toys and internet retailing to adapt to changing demographics.Toys r us_in_japan_1[1]![Toys r us_in_japan_1[1]](https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/toysrusinjapan11-150320111532-conversion-gate01-thumbnail.jpg?width=560&fit=bounds)

Toys R Us was considering expanding into the Japanese market. Japan has many potential advantages for Toys R Us, including a large toy market and wealthy consumers who spend significantly on toys and leisure products. However, there are also barriers like high competition, small store sizes preferred by Japanese consumers, and high real estate costs. Partnering with McDonald's through an alliance would allow Toys R Us to leverage McDonald's existing infrastructure, market knowledge, and reputation in Japan to help overcome these barriers, rather than attempting to directly franchise their business model in Japan.Toys R Us goes to Japan

Some key points made include: 1) Indian consumers shop in groups and value multi-generational interactions, so Big Bazaar's design encourages families to shop together. 2) Local nuances vary significantly in different parts of India, so Big Bazaar tailors its visuals, promotions, and store operations to each location. 3) Big Bazaar's layout with curvy aisles and selling products in the queues aims to create a lively shopping experience that mimics Indians' natural "hunting" instincts.Marketing Analysis of Best Buy

The document discusses Nintendo's launch of the Game Boy Color in Canada. It identifies several issues including choosing the target market, marketing approach, pricing, and product offerings. For target market, it considers teens who already own Game Boys and new kid/tween users. For marketing, it evaluates in-store displays, mall tours, and a cross-Canada tour. For pricing, it looks at matching the US price or lowering the price. For products, it examines continuing the black and white Game Boy or bundling a game. The recommendations are to target both teens and kids, do a cross-Canada tour, price at $120 Canadian including a game, and discontinue the black and white Game Boy.Junior achievement session 1
