This report analyzes opportunities for Australia Zoo to increase profits in the Japanese market through internet technologies. Research found that Japan has many internet users open to VR and AR, but also challenges like consumer behavior and government risks. The report recommends Australia Zoo undertake a non-sequential network marketing approach, with a cornerstone activity being a VR shopping mall stall in Japan. This would allow VR tours of the zoo coupled with a VR retail store offering admission discounts, expected to increase Japanese visitors and profits over time.
Artificial Intelligence for Social GoodTom Simpson
This report is based on realities and experiences from Asia and the Pacific, and provides various perspectives on what AI for social good may look like in this region. More importantly, the report offers suggestions from the research community on how policymakers can encourage, use, and regulate AI for social good.
Japan, like Finland, compared to USA and China has been seen as a bit latecomer in AI. One reason is that Japan has for decades been a top hardware-oriented industrial country which is producing mainly material objects. But today Japanese government is moving rapidly towards AI.

SINGPOST
Executive Summary
This report will focus on conducting a strategic analysis and context evaluation on the organization Singapore Post. First of all we will be conducting a macro-environment analysis using the PESTLE framework to identify the key factors that may possibly affect the organization’s growth. After which, conducting a SWOT analysis helps to ascertain the potential threats and opportunities so that SingPost will be able to take precautionary measures against the threats and seize opportunities that may present themselves. Moving on, we conducted an industry analysis using Michael Porter’s five forces framework to understand the strengths of how the five forces can impact SingPost’s current position as the market leader in the mail industry. Based on the analysis, the threat of substitutes and bargaining power of suppliers has the greatest impact on the profitability of the mail division of SingPost.
After implementation of the external environment and industry analysis, we move on to identify resources and competences that may provide sustainable competitive advantage for SingPost by incorporating the SingPost analysis tool. Based on the results of our analysis, SingPost’s resources fulfill all four criteria of the VRIN analysis. Alongside being the only provider for mailing services in Singapore, this reaffirms that SingPost has achieved sustainable competitive advantage. Next, we identified and assessed the key stakeholders for SingPost, drawing conclusions as to why these stakeholders are important. In our findings, it is evident that different stakeholders have different objectives. It is important to satiate different stakeholders’ needs as much as possible as without them, the company cannot exist.
Last but not least, we identified SingPost’s current strategy as cost leadership given the fact that it focuses on a broad target market as well as keeping its costs low so as to ensure that it is affordable for everyone. We wrapped up our strategic analysis on SingPost by applying the SAFe criteria to determine if SingPost’s current strategy addresses the key opportunities and constraints, meets stakeholder expectations and if resources can be obtained and incorporated.

SOFT INNOVATION RESOURCES: ENABLER FOR REVERSAL IN GDP GROWTH IN THE DIGITAL ...IJMIT JOURNAL
While Finland and Singapore have been maintaining world digital leaders position, they demonstrate interlaced contrast: high welfare with low GDP growth in Finland and higher GDP growth with lower welfare in Singapore. This provokes an uncaptured GDP postulate that Finnish wellbeing has developed
more than one might conclude by GDP. However, a recent reversal in the GDP growth trend suggests the possibility that uncaptured GDP contributes to remove structural impediments in GDP growth.This paper demonstrates this hypothesis. An empirical analysis elucidating the inside the national accountings and institutional systems revealed that soft innovation resources have substituted for service capital in Finland and created uncaptured GDP which disseminated in tangible capital and removed structural impediments impeding development leading to GDP growth. In addition, this growth enables next generation intellectual property product (IPP) development. An insightful suggestion in overcoming a productivity paradox in the digital economy was thus provided.

Key Termand Why You Are Interested in It
I chose the key term Developed Nation because it describes countries who are the most involved on how the world is run. Currently the world is going through a lot of elections in developed countries which brings attention to what might change. Also, countries like Russia who many people would consider to be developed is actually developing. These countries are up to date with the latest technology and resources which attracts outsiders who are willing to help it grow. It is much easier to visit a developed country than visit a weak corrupt nation where violence can take place at any time.
Explanation of the Key Term
Developed Nations have great wealth and are good with managing their resources in order to take care of its own people. A lot of nations have climbed into the developed category because of technology growing lately. Also it is interesting because vacation areas are becoming developed due to tourists bringing in a great amount of money allowing for places like Barbados to access healthcare and technology.(Satterlee, 2015, p.93) Countries that have attractions can use it to their advantage to lure in money and put it towards things like education which will help build technology and resources. A nation might be small but as long as its economy is stable and things like healthcare and technology keeps growing along with its people, it will be defined as developed.
Major Article Summary
Japan has been classified as a developed country but in recent years its economy and ability to grow has taken a turn. In order for a country to be able to stay developed they must have a stable working class. Japan currently has a shortage of workers due to a low birth rate and not enough immigration taken place. Because of their low birth rate the nation is experiencing a time where there is not a lot of spending taken place which hurts its economy. Japan currently has the worlds oldest population which explains why spending is down. In order for companies to sell their product they are now investing in selling their products overseas rather than at home which creates a deficit. It is hard for a nation to remain stable if they have to rely on doing business overseas. There is discussion about raising sales tax but the last time it was imposed consumer spending fell sending japan into a recession. Also, it would not be a good idea to lower sales tax because even though people might purchase a lot more resources money will still be lost. Japan is not an ideal vacation location so it is hard to bring in money by advertising family getaways. This article points out that Japan needs to find a way to raise lower their population age limit by either producing more or welcoming immigrants that are willing to work. Having a younger population will increase money be ...

HYBRID ROLE OF SOFT INNOVATION RESOURCES: FINLAND’S NOTABLE RESURGENCE IN THE...IJMIT JOURNAL
Finland and Singapore are easy to compare, they are the same size and have similar positions as global digital leaders. however, their performance is differing a lot. from 2006 to 2013, Singapore’s GDP growth rate was tenfold compared to Finland. four years later, in 2017 Finland is exceeding the growth rate of
Singapore. what are the reasons for the success of Finland? An empirical analysis of the factors contributing to GDP growth and the effects of the policy change was conducted. It was demonstrated that increase of export did not explain growth, but shifts in capital formation did. New dynamics was revealed that was triggered by the removal of structural impediments (hindrances) and by increasing use of soft innovation
resources. The virtuous cycle of increase of uncaptured GDP, increased multifactor productivity and growth of tangible capital and GDP was described. An insightful suggestion for activating a hybrid role for soft innovation resources in the digital economy was thus provided.

Engaging with the Greater China Region: Case Studies for Taiwan and ChinaLeisure Solutions®
In the political and economic context of the Asian Century, Australia through its cities and regional areas needs to work hard in establishing long-term social and economic relationships with the powerhouse of Asia, that is currently established within North Asia, particularly in the Greater China Region (China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong) with its strong technological links to Japan and South Korea; and with the appreciation that the Chinese business community extends well into South East Asia. The Greater China Region includes a wide range of provinces and city centres, many of which have demonstrated a keen willingness to establish bi-lateral ties through a range of mechanisms that have invariably involved sister city and inter-industry association relationships. In July 2005, the Australian and Taiwan ICT industries agreed to co-operate in the mutual development of their electronics and ICT sectors through the implementation of a program of engagement guided by a strategic framework agreement as a logical consequence of an active program of activities developed between the Australian Electrical & Electronic Manufacturers’ Association and the Taiwan Electrical & Electronic Manufacturers’ Association since early 2002. Progress under this arrangement was reported annually to the Bilateral Economic Consultations between Australia and Taiwan. Separately, in 2016, the Geological Societies of Australia and China entered into a unique Memorandum of Cooperation that was principally aimed at growing the level of best practice, nature-based tourism in both countries, and has already led to a structured ‘sister’ regional relationship in NSW and potentially in Tropical Far North Queensland.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

2.1 Opportunities for Australia Zoo in Japan
Historically, Japan has been one of Australia’s largest inbound markets, ranking fifth in 2012 with
325,000 visitors, whilst injecting $1.6 Billion into the Australian economy (TRA, 2013). In 2016
Australia recorded a 23% increase in arrivals from Japan, indicating that this market is more than
willingtoindulgeoninternational traveldespite the nation’s slow economicgrowth (Deloitte, 2017).
However, this slow GDP growth in Japan (0.50%) (Trading Economics, 2017) has primarily been a
resultof olderworkersleavingthe workforce whichhasnotinfluencedthe visitornumbers (Deloitte,
2017). Importantly for Australia Zoo, Japan is Australia’s seventh largest market for leisure visitor
arrivals, where the Australianwildlifeisrankedsecond in terms of the greatest appeal for Japanese
travellers (Tourism Australia, 2015). Adding to this, Australia’s Free Trade Agreement with Japan
offers increased access to Japan’s markets, with an estimated 97% of Australia’s exports receiving
duty free or preferential access when fully employed (Robb, 2015). If Australia Zoo is able to take
advantage of JapansfascinationwithAustralia’swildlife,the firm’s performance will increase along
with its international reputation and growth.
2.1.1 Internet Technology Trends
In 2016 it was estimated that there were well over 115 million individual internet users in Japan,
penetrating 91% of the total population (W3C, 2016). With this in mind, it also is estimated that
74.6 million people in Japan used their mobiles for internet access in 2016 with a forecast of 77
millionusers by 2021 (Statista(a), 2016). This data is also important to consider when analysing the
prevalence of both virtual and augmented reality use within the Japanese market. With thanks
mostlytothe rise of Pokemon GO, Augmented reality quickly became popular within Japan. It was
estimatedthat24% of Androiddevice users hadgained knowledge of this technology via this game
(Schwartz, 2016). In terms of Virtual Reality (VR), approximately 12 million headsets were sold
worldwide in2016 (Statista(b),2016),23% of these were formobile devices (Statista(c), 2016). With
Japan being the second ranked consumer market in the world, it can be presumed that a large
portion of all VR headset purchases occur there (IBG, 2014). With the current access that the
Japanese people have to the internet and corresponding technologies, a clear avenue for entry is
available for Australia Zoo.
2.2 Challenges of the Japanese Market
2.2.1 ClientAnalysis
Japanese consumers have recentlybeguntoactsimilarlyto boththe Europeansand Americans. This
isdue to theirwillingnesstopurchase products based on their quality and convenience, along with
utilising cheaper online retailers (Salsberg, 2010). This change though does not stem from the
slowing economy, but because of the digital revolution sweeping the country (Salsberg, 2010). As
they are drawn to premium goods and services, their attention is also shifted towards products
which offer high returns on trade investment (Austrade, 2017).
5. 5 | P a g e
Not only does the Japanese market expect quality, but they also pride themselves on innovation
whichaddsto theirproducts’value proposition. This strong commitment to quality and innovation
adherestoa level of loyaltywithinthe business environment (Austrade, 2017). A challenge though
for Australian firms is the fact that business usually occurs in the Japanese language. If access to a
translatorisn’tpossible,itishighlyrecommended that English is spoken clearly and purely in order
for an understanding to occur between the two parties (Austrade, 2017).
2.2.2 Japan’sPerceptionofAustralia
As a whole,the Japanese view Australiansverypositively. Strongpeople-to-people links play a large
role inour bilateral relationship (Australian Embassy - Tokyo, 2016). These links echo the 102 sister
cityrelationships and6state-to-state relationships which Australia and Japan have. This comradery
facilitates an exchange of education, culture, social and economic practises (Australian Embassy -
Tokyo, 2016). In terms of our business relationship, in 2015, Japan was Australia’s second-largest
tradingpartner, export market, and in-bound direct foreign investor (DFAT, 2017). With the recent
implementation of the Japanese Australia Economic Partnership Agreement (JAEPA), Australian
Business are able to Internationalise much easier than previously, which opens up a clear path of
Entry for Australia Zoo into the Japanese Market.
2.2.3 GovernmentAgencyRisks
Japan’saccessto the internetisknownas‘free’internet.Thisisdue tothe constitutionprotectingall
speechandprohibitscensorship. Forthe mostpart, the governmentsMinistryof Internal Affairsand
Communications has little influence over online content, which is mostly regulated by industry
playersandinternetproviders (FreedomHouse,2016). One key issue whichinfluences Australia Zoo
isthe Japanese government’s support of its whaling industry. Recently, Japan stated that it would
continue its whaling program in Antarctica despite the International Whaling Commissions (IWC)
stating that there was inadequate evidence for killing whales for scientific purposes (O'Connor,
2016). Our own owner, Terri Erwin recently made an international plea to Japan to stop their
whaling program by opting to support different projects that will study whales in our oceans
(Wildlife Warriors, 2017). Opting to grow our brand in Japan may result in backlash from the
Australian public, where local clientele may be lost.

3.0 Recommendations:
3.1 Marketing Strategy
In order for Australia Zoo to attract Japanese clientele via internet technology marketing, an
appropriate internationalisationapproachneedstobe identifiedalongwithidentifying whether the
product needs to be standardised or adapted for the Japanese market. Firstly, it is recommended
that the Non-sequential networkapproachisutilised.As a whole, this approach focuses on the role
of linkages and relationships in the internationalisation process, via the recognition that value
creation is the responsibility of the entire value chain (Matthews, 2017).
These networks play a substantial role in the theory and practice of internationalization as they
encompass sets of inter-connected individuals or organisations, where these relationships may
appearin many forms (Coviello & Cox, 2006). This process of creating network interactions creates
social capital which enhances the firm’s ability to internationalise effectively via a product which
speakstothe targetmarket (Shirokova & Storchevoy, 2011). This approach is particularly important
when initially internationalising since it views markets as a system of relationships between
suppliers, competitors, customers, relatives, friends, and government agencies meaning this
approach can target even the broadest of markets (Osarenkhoe, 2009).
This network approach has three core dimensions. The relationships dimension speaks to the
strength of the gathered connections in relation to the amount of time, emotional intensity and
intimacy of the product (Kiss & Danis, 2010). The cognitive dimension refers to the shared
characteristicsbetweenthe international origin markets, for example, common value systems and
languages (Musteen, Francis, & Datta, 2010). Finally the structural dimension refers to the created
networkasa whole,intermsof the diversity,densityandsize of the attracted market (Kiss & Danis,
2010). In the end, this approach outlines what Australia Zoo needs to do. Create tightly knit
relationshipswiththe Japanese marketviatechnologytoconvince themtovisitourfirm. In terms of
the product which needs to be marketed, it is recommended that the product is adapted for the
Japanese instead of standardising it. This option is ideal due to the variation in needs and tastes
along with the differences in culture between Australians and the Japanese. By adapting the way
our product is marketed, Australia Zoo will maintain its competitive advantage by specifically
relating our product to the needs of our prospective consumer.
3.2 Virtual Reality Shopping Mall Stall
To be usedwithinthe non-sequential networkstrategy,itisrecommendedthatAustraliaZoo invests
in 360 degree digital mapping of the zoo, where this footage will act as a virtual tour of the zoo
whichis thento be usedin a virtual reality (VR) shoppingmall stall in Japan. This VR experience will
act as the core marketing initiative, where it will be designed to act as the major pathway to
purchase forJapanese consumersbycapitalisingontheir love for the Australian wildlife along with
technology. Specifically, this virtual tour will escort the consumer through the zoo, focusing on
Australia’s native animals. At the end of the tour, the user will then be forwarded within the VR
systemtoa checkoutpointwhere theyare invited to order admittance tickets (the internet and VR
technology working in synergy).
7. 7 | P a g e
VR tourshave previouslybeenutilisedforgolferswhere they can virtually visualise a course before
playing it (ITS, 2016), and within the real estate industry to deliver the ‘Open House’ experience
(OCVR, 2017). Coupling this with the already popular use of VR retail stores in Shinjujku’s Isetan
departmentstore in Japan(Dhillon, 2016), Australia Zoo will enhance its competitive advantage by
revolutionizingthe theme andrecreational parkindustrybycombiningthese two technologies with
the already loved wildlife experience.
As previously noted, the Australia Zoo ‘product’ will need to be adapted to the Japanese
demographicinorderforthisstrategyto be most effective. Firstly,due tothe fallingvalue of the Yen
and the consumerbehaviourthatthe Japanese seek value (Salsberg, 2010), it is recommended that
tickets sold in the VR stall are sold at a discounted price. This strategy works effectively with the
overall marketingstrategysinceapositive relationshipwiththe brandiscreated along with the high
likely-hood of a positive word-of-mouth. It also creates an extra incentive for prospective travels
whomay see AustraliaZooasmore accessible due totheirpossible budget constraints. Secondly, it
isrecommendedthatthe productis advertised solely in Japanese. A study conducted by Education
FirstJapan Ltd foundthatJapan ranked26th
out of 60 countriesinthe EnglishProficiency Index with
a score of 53.21, down nearly a whole point from 2009 (Japan Today, 2014). This represents a
limited knowledge of the English language where if English is utilised, the reach of the strategy
would be drastically reduced.
