Outline of Research at the Start

The study quantifies how public attitudes towards familiar Japanese companies change after being sold to a Chinese company, relocating manufacturing, and adopting a new brand name. The data collection approach for the statistical assessment of public attitudes is a survey that collects data via a set of discrete choice questions, known as a Discrete Choice Analysis. A mixed multinominal logit regression serves to estimate the attitude for each attribute as well as interaction effects and the willingness-to-pay for each attribute.

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

In AY2023 the research project was seriously delayed. There was little progress. because the data collection which was planned for this year could not go ahead. The partner organization for the data collection could not be engaged for the project. This is now being planned for AY2024. A new partner for data collection was found and contacted and preparations for the data collection in AY2024 have been made.

The partner could not fulfill the requirements for the discrete choice model. A new partner has been found and preparations are being made to collect the data in AY2024.

Strategy for Future Research Activity

The data collection and data analysis will be conducted in August and September of 2024. The data analysis will commence immediately after the collection is completed and finalized in December.
