| Popis: | 97 Thanks to the encouragement of the Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, the Japanese Postal Service was privatized on October 1st, 2007. The transition takes about 10 years for the privatization process to full effect, from 2007 to 2017. Ever since the very early stage of the privatization, the load of parcel service has been doubled. However, the intense competition among the Japanese Postal Service and some of the leading Home Delivery Service companies has caused a tremendous decrease in profits. These private companies, such as Da-Ho Transport Company, accused the Japanese Postal Service of its monopoly on market share, which consequently deprived other competitors of their rights of surviving on the market. This research, therefore, intends to study the competition among the Japanese Postal Service and a few private Home Delivery Service companies. Moreover, the study shows the impact on these private companies in terms of how they changed their delivering strategies after the privatization of Japanese Postal Service. The conclusions drawn from this study indicate that governmental interference should be prudent, and the government should provide more capital to ensure the quality of the postal service in remote areas. In addition, for the prospects of delivering services, intense competition should be avoided if these companies want to lower the cost and enhance the quality of their services. |
