Abstract This paper provides an in-depth look at the Japanese economy before and after the collapse of the Tokyo stock-market which occurred at the start of the current recession. It shows how Japan was considered to be the perfect economy and idealized by the West with regard to its statistics on growth, unemployment and productivity. Causes of the collapse are analyzed. The writer presents many statistics about the current economic state and looks at the government's plans to boost the economy.
From the Paper "The revisionists asserted that, in contrast to the open-market capitalism of the "Anglo-American" model, Japan practiced a unique form of state-directed insider capitalism. Under that model, close relationships among business executives, bankers, and government officials strongly influence economic outcomes. By strategically allocating capital through a tightly controlled banking system, they argued, Japan would drive foreign competitors out of sector after sector, leading eventually to world economic domination. (Thompson, 1997)
"Sooner or later, the United States must come to grips with the fact that Japan has become the leading industrial nation in the world. The Japanese have the longest life span. They have the highest employment, the highest literacy, and the smallest gap between rich and poor. Their manufacturing products have the highest quality."

From the Paper "In 1998 the Gillette Company introduced to consumers their latest and greatest addition to their line of men's personal grooming products?The Mach3 razor. The first and, at the time, only triple blade razor on the market, the Mach3 would quickly become the leading wet-razor on the market as it changed the face of shaving. This razor became the leader on the market because it was the best product of its kind. It delivered on Gillette's promise of a "The closest shave in fewer strokes with less irritation" and reaffirmed the company's claim of ?The Best a Man Can Get.?

Hoping to increase sales and assure the company maintains its large share of the market against new competition from their number one rival, Schick, Gillette is introducing a new and improved version of the Mach3 razor?The Mach3Turbo."

From the Paper "The company concentrates on the domestic market and offers its products throughout the world via a distribution system with subsidiaries, namely London, New York, Paris, and Frankfurt and authorized distributors located in cities around the world. This type of marketing has proven to be successful in the past; however diversifying the target market will leverage Lavazza's name as the best quality coffee and optimize the firm's position in the future and in markets outside of Europe. There is a need to implement marketing tactics that will strengthen Lavazza's household name and reputation."
