Outline of Research at the Start

近年、小売分野において、Amazonや楽天市場などのe-コマース・プラットフォームは大きな影響力を持ちつつある。これらのプラットフォームは、売手と買手という2種類の異なるユーザー・グループ間の直接取引を仲介し、その見返りとして対価を得ている。こういったプラットフォーム型のサプライチェーンにおける各種意思決定が、既存の流通システムに及ぼす影響を明らかにすることが、本研究課題の最終的な目的である。
また、e-コマース・プラットフォームだけでなく、メルカリ・Uber・Airbnbなどのシェアリングエコノミー・プラットフォームも本研究課題の分析対象として含む。主な研究目的は、上述のe-コマース・プラットフォームと同様である。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have produced multiple research results---both theoretical and empirical---the structure of distribution systems suitable for platform-based businesses. These findings span a wide range of topics. For example, in response to the rise of e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and Rakuten, how should manufacturing firms reconsider their multi-channel management? How should they allocate sales between traditional supply chains and platform-based channels? Should platforms share the vast consumer data they possess---including behavioral patterns and preferences---with third-party sellers? By addressing such questions, this research aims to generate insights not only for the platforms themselves, but also for the various stakeholders within these platforms.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

プラットフォームによる様々な行動や戦略が、プラットフォーム自身やプラットフォーム上の参加者に与える影響に関して、これまで多くの研究が蓄積されてきた。しかしながら、プラットフォーム外のプレイヤーに及ぼす影響も含めた、より広範な視点の研究は決して十分に進んでいなかった。この課題に対処することが本研究の主要な目標であり、いくかの成果を残すことができた。これらの成果は、プラットフォームの影響をより広範に評価するために有益な情報となりうるだけでなく、今後のさらなる研究のスタートにもなり得る。この意味で、本研究の意義は社会的かつ学術的な観点で大きい。
