2008

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The recession during the last decade hit Japan's image as an economic powerhouse hard. It added a layer of skepticism to the already existing difficulties in coping with tariff and nontariff entry barriers as well as cultural and business differences. However, even against the background of strong economic transformations in countries such as India and especially China and a strong enthusiasm for dealing with these upcoming economies, it should not be forgotten that Japan is still the world's second-largest economy in terms of gross domestic product. Japan offers an array of business opportunities for foreign investors. As employment and other traditions are under pressure from a young generation more in tune with Western culture and ideas, the Japanese triad market allows for a promising future. This article aims to inform managers who wish to extend their market reach of the tremendous opportunities in the Japanese market. We unveil cultural particulars and challenges for foreign businesses that allow for a refreshed look into the economic miracle of the second half of the twentieth century.

Researchers have not specifically considered the determinants of satisfaction and repurchase intention with regard to virtual products. Using the expectancy disconfirmation model and symbolic consumption theory, this study presents and empirically examines a model of customer satisfaction and repurchase intention in this context. Using structural equation modeling to analyze the data collected from 477 consumers of virtual products, this study validates the influence of perceived customization and perceived sociability on customer satisfaction and repurchase intention with regard to virtual products. Additionally, this study statistically confirms the important mediating roles of outcome expectations and perceived quality in the indirect effects of perceived customization and perceived sociability on customer satisfaction. This study also verifies that customer satisfaction is a critical mediator of the indirect influence of the other four constructs in the proposed model on the consumers' repurchase intention with regard to virtual products.
