Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research reveals two step mechanisms behind the product proliferation which a firm does not necessarily improve its performance. First, intra- and inter-organizational inertia makes it difficult to decide to proliferate products rationally. Second, even if a firm decide to introduce products and brands rationally, problems can occur in the organizational process. In case of Shiseido, such factors as differentiation and inconsistency between departments as to performance objectives, power imbalances between departments, and an organizational culture which had been more focused on the corporate, “Shiseido” brand rather than a number of individual product brands had an effect on product-performance relationships.
