What is at the stake for The Japanese Brands (Sony, Panasonic, NEC)
Two American giant corporations, Google & Apple dominate one of the biggest and fastest growing markets with a junction with Korean, Taiwanese and Chinese developers and producer - this leave Japanese out of the game. iPad & Nexus control 90% of the Japanese market which is well known for being loyal to Japanese products.

Japanese brands desire to take a bite in this huge market where almost every child and adult is going to own Tablet in the developed countries and the same for the middle-class in the developing countries.
It became clear to the Japanese brands that losing this market will not only result in stagnation, but might hurt their brands position in the long term internally but also externally to Japan.
Japanese consumer electronics brands want to close the gaps Vs. their competition as well create a clear competitive advantage in their products.
Competition is about killing your competition

How competing with a giant as Apple Corp. with a superior customer experience?
How competing with a giant as Samsung or Asus which is dominating the tablets market?

    By launching IPAD, in January 2010, and releasing it into the market in April, Apple introduced a potential new product category in computers which is likely to change the way consumers interact with their devices. IPAD was able to meet a changing consumer need which saw them preferring to ‘swipe a finger across a touch screen’ instead of using a keyboard. More than 15 million units were sold in the first year alone. In a move which surprised many market watchers, Apple launched IPAD2, in March 2011, slightly more than a year after the first IPAD was released onto the market. Surprisingly!, because many marketers would have thought that IPAD1 had not yet gone through its full product life cycle. However, this move by Apple is in response to the changing competitive environment which has seen growth in the interest of tablet computers from competitors. Analysts predict the computer tablet market to treble in size in 2012. By launching IPAD2, Apple has left competitors playing ‘catch up’ in a growing segment with consumers hungry for new products. There are a dozen or more competitors with rival tablets to IPAD2 likely to be launched in 2011 from competitors like Microsoft and Toshiba.…

    In 2010, in reaction to rumors of a 7-inch tablets being introduced into the market, Steve Jobs simply said, “7-inch tablets are tweeners: too big to compete with a Smartphone and too small to compete with the iPad” (Chen, 2010). While Apple has stayed true to this, many tablet manufacturers have introduced tablets smaller than the iPad, and they are having success. Samsung has introduced the Galaxy Tab, which is generally just 7 inches, although it also comes in a 10.1 inch version. flouting into a market with so many sellers is easy, but success is not guaranteed. One must look at the firm considered to offer the most competition, demand and supply, and both the issues and the opportunities that will be faced. If all factors are carefully considered, all possible outcomes explored – success can be achieved.…
