| Research Abstract |
The object of this research is to analyze theoretically and practically the comparative advantage of logistics adaptive strategy in the Japan international physical distribution industry. In last 20 years logistics strategy has arrived the third level, that is, supply chain management (SCM). How the Japan international physical distribution industry can have been adaptive on this development process of logistics strategy should be demonstrated especially in the Asian trade.
In Ch.1 I confirm the developing process of shippers' logistics strategy has been strongly combined with revolutionary changes in their business models. In Ch.2 I analyze econometrically the Japan multinational enterprises located in US, EU and Asia regions and conclude what kind of the special features can be identified from the aspect of four industries of textile, general machine, electric machine and transport machine. By using the physical distribution data in the Asia-Pacific trade, in Ch.3 I try to demonstrate how much degree of strategic rationality can be measured in the logistics strategy of Japan multinational enterprises located in Asia in compared with their global trend. In Ch.4 I give stress both of the discriminative features of revolutionary logistics strategy and the matured logistics strategy on each side of shipping carrier and forwarders. In Ch. 5 I discuss how we can build up the new development model of Japanese ports and propose new management system especially in Osaka Bay Area composed both of the Ports of Kobe and Osaka. Finally in Ch. 6 I build up and demonstrate the export driver hypothesis induced both from product life theory and modal choice behavior between air and sea transportations. Thus, I can analyze the comparative advantage of logistics adaptive strategy in the Japan international physical distribution industry from many points of view above mentioned in global world featured by IT revolution and deregulation.
