2009-2014 Outlook for Video Cassette Recorders in Japan
Product DescriptionThis econometric study covers the latent demand outlook for video cassette recorders (VCR) by the prefectures and cities of Japan. Latent demand (in millions of dollars), or the profit potential of the industry (PIE) estimates are given in some 1,000 cities in Japan. For each city in question, the percent share the city is that it reported to the prefecture and Japan. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly measure a city vis-à-vis others. This statistical approach can be very useful to distribution and / or sales force strategies. Econometric models use the basic economic dynamics of each prefecture and city, latent demand estimates for video-recorder (VCR) project created. This report does not refer to the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor the details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities could affect sales. The study is strategic in nature, therefore, the adoption of a comprehensive and long term, irrespective of the players or products involved. This study does not report actual sales data (which is simply not available, a comparable or consistent in almost every city in Japan). This study gives, however, my estimates for the latent demand, or the cake, video-recorder (VCR) in Japan. It shows how the PIE is divided and concentrated in cities and regional markets in Japan. To show for each prefecture, my estimates of how the PIE grows over time. To make these estimates, a multi-step methodology used, is often taught courses on strategic planning at graduate schools of business.
