Editor's Notes
- MUJI, originally founded in Japan in 1980 It is derived from its Japanese name, which means “no-brand quality goods.” It is a public trade company, they have over 700 stores across over 26 countries, and offers over 7000 products. Muji positions itself in terms of three basic ideas: “Simple, Functional and Affordable” For people who is unfamiliar with Muji, I am going to show you a video which briefly explained what is Muji.
- As mentioned in the video, Muji offers a wide variety of high quality products including: household goods, apparel and food. Many American consumers viewed MUJI as the quiet version of IKEA
- It is unclear on what the organization does, and it could be easily get mixed up with another similar brand. Ex: IKEA also have the simple design and familiar products
- Same for their vision, it is unclear for the most audience on what their goal is. However, in my personal opinion, MUJI did follow their vision by continuing to expand their market by offering new creative and high quality product Ex: Muji selling office supplies, household goods, travelling tools and apparels, then Meal Muji- restaurant, muji car 1000, 2001 product collaboration with Nissan Yes, Muji does have the organizational value because it does follow its mission and vision to expand their market to offers simple, nature good quality of products to consumers
- Pest industry Five forces
- Increase in Tariffs (political-legal)—give example/numbers/laws to support it Eco-friendly life style(social-cultral) Globalizationon In crease in E-commerce (technological, social cultral)
- Popularity of customized products Environmental protection High inflation rate
- Competition Rise of cost of raw material Labor cost 名创优品
- It is actually not eco friendly Behind The Label: MUJI, on July 25, 2012, by Jessica Marati, ecosalon.com/behind-the-label-muji/ Embrace internet How Muji succeed from O2O, 2015/12/02 www.woshipm.com/it/244490.html

- In what stages of the industry value chain should we participate? Related to the topic of vertical integration What range of products and services should the we offer? Related to the topic of diversification Where should we compete geographically? Related to the topic of geographic scope
- Corporate Diversification: Expanding Beyond a Single Market Vertical Integration along the Industry Value Chain Diversification Increase in: The variety of products / services a firm offers, or The markets / geographic regions in which it competes Can be targeted towards: Products Geography Product-Market Provide economies of scale: reduces costs Exploit economies of scope: increases value Reduce costs and increase value
- Related Linked: some businesses share competencies

- Often the first step in internationalizing. Used by MNEs with relatively large domestic markets or strong exporters (e.g., MNEs from the United States, Germany, Japan, South Korea). Well-suited for high-end products with high value-to-weight ratios such as machine tools and luxury goods that can be shipped across the globe. Products and services tend to have strong brands. Main business-level strategy tends to be differentiation because exporting, licensing, and franchising add additional costs. Leveraging core competencies. Economies of scale. Low-cost implementation through: Exporting or licensing (for products) Franchising (for services) Licensing (for trademarks) No or limited local responsiveness. Highly affected by exchange-rate fluctuations. IP embedded in product or service could be expropriated.
- In Japan, Ryohin Keikaku has directly operated 284 stores and supplies 117 outlets, as of January 2016.[10] There are 303 International retail outlets as of January 2016 which include UK (12), France (12), Italy (9), Germany (8), Ireland(1), Sweden (7), Norway (4), Spain (6), Turkey (2), Poland (1), Portugal (1), United States (10), Canada (2), Hong Kong (14),Singapore (10), Malaysia (5), South Korea (14), Mainland China (128), Taiwan (33), Thailand (12), Australia (2), Indonesia (2),Philippines (7), Kuwait (1), UAE (3).[10][11][12] In New York Muji supplies products to a design store at the Museum of Modern Art and maintains a flagship store.[9] Ryohin Keikaku has 284 directly operated stores in Japan, and has 5,271 (including 3,886 part-timers) employees.[13]
- Used by MNEs to compete in host countries with large and/or lucrative but idiosyncratic domestic markets (e.g., Germany, Japan, Saudi Arabia). Often used in consumer products and food industries. Main business-level strategy is differentiation. MNE wants to be perceived as local company Moved Muji Award from Japan to China for the first time in 2014 Partnered with Alibaba in China. Partner with Thonet in Europe.
