consumer electronic commerce site, Rakuten
Ichiba, and consumer to consumer auction site,
Rakuten Freemarket.

●Its business is centered in Japan, although it has
began international expansion through
acquisitions.

Strategy of their company

● As they deploys operations in 27 countries and
areas, they will implement our business plan in a
strategic manner by taking into consideration such
factors as Internet or EC penetration ratio and
competitive status in the target markets.

● Their strategy will be to enter the market through
an EC business like Rakuten Ichiba and expand
their operations into travel, finance, and other
service areas.
Strategy of their company


● They needs to implement this thorough
information sharing on a global scale.

●They aims to be the world's best Internet
Services Company, the initiative of using English
as the official language of the group is one small
but critical step required.
Strategy of their company

●They provide around 40 services encompassing
EC, travel, banking, and securities business.

● These services have closely shared information
on successful business models, web designs, and
marketing best practices so that the entire
Rakuten Group can continually raise service
levels and improve customer satisfaction.
Reference

● Rakuten's all-English edict a bold move, but
risky too
