    The Japanese distribution system has two distinct characteristics: too many very small retailers and multiple layers of wholesalers. Japanese consumers prefer to buy fresh, high quality food and have the tendency to purchase goods in small amounts and at frequent intervals. Since real estate is very expensive in Japan, people live in very small apartments and they are not used to doing big shopping, because there is not much space to store things. The majority of small-sized retail stores are run as family businesses, and there are preferential tax treatments granted to these retail stores. In addition, there are regulations placed on large-scale retail stores.…

    n employee survey can be one of the most powerful tools for management in assessing the effectiveness of its strategy and maximizing the potential in its human capital. Strategic employee surveys can be used in four key ways: 1) identifying “warning signs” of trouble within the business in areas such as safety and ethics; 2) evaluating the effectiveness of specific programs such as benefits or initiatives including diversity; 3) measuring the satisfaction and engagement of employees to support recruitment and retention; and 4) driving high performance by analyzing employee perceptions of an organization’s climate for service. When properly designed, implemented and analyzed, employee surveys help management take action to align operations with its strategy, values and goals. Employee surveys have been used in organizations for decades to help leaders understand how individual employees perceive their working conditions, job satisfaction, advancement opportunities and other qualitative aspects of the workplace.

A recent market research study by Gilliand (2002) finds that employee surveys are more commonly being used to ask employees to assess the work environment and the support provided to help achieve business goals. Businesses are progressively beginning to use the results from surveys of employee teams and business units as predictive tools for customer satisfaction and business…
