5. What do you think about the 7dream concept for Seven-Eleven Japan? From a supply chain perspective, is it likely to be more successful in Japan or the United States? Why?
The 7dream concept is fresh and creative. I think this is likely to be more successful in Japan because the Seven-Eleven store network is not as dense as in the U.S. Also, it appears that Seven-Eleven Japan attracts a different type of customer. Although I can only speculate, I would be concerned about the security of packages in a Seven-Eleven store in the U.S., preferring a home delivery even if I wasn’t at home. After all, that’s the appeal of e-commerce.
