研究実績の概要 |
For this research term, the focus was on understanding how consumers perceived CSR efforts in Japan because sustainability also falls under the CSR umbrella. The factors that involve consumer perception with regards to company CSR activities are explored since consumers will form perception and images regarding corporate brands (and this in turn will influence how effective corporations are in marketing their sustainable products and services). A few themes and areas came up during the study including food safety and csr, company reputation and trust in ethical and sustainable fashion. The findings was presented in the following conferences: COMSA 2015 Paper title: Food Related CSR Initiatives Post 3-11: When Risk and Trust Affect Consumer Behavior’ Global Marketing Fashion Conference Paper Title: Will you love me regardless of my reputation? Japan Forum of Business & Society Paper Title: “Consumer expectation on CSR based on price and brand" American Marketing Association Winter Conference Paper title: CSR Initiatives Post-3-11

現在までの達成度 (区分)
3: やや遅れている
理由
1. Too much seminar meeting time and student project consultation work (I have the highest number of advisees) 2. Managed three new international projects from scratch (including field trips that required a lot of planning, international liaison that involves working with people in different countries and timezones) 3. The availability of data source like sustainable advertising, green expenses is harder to obtain than expected hence, there is a need to realign the project objectives
