1. Executive summary
In 2002, Seiyu, an Japanese big retailer chain, was thrown a lifeline in the form of capital investment from Wal-Mart. After some years of financial trouble, a tie-up with the biggest retailer in the world must have seemed like a windfall. Indeed, looking at media reports from the time, there were many voices urging caution but predicting that with the right moves, Wal-Mart and Seiyu could make money in Japan. However, looking at its actions over the next few years, it is far less that a success.

Japan and the United States are very different places. Japanese shoppers behave differently, have different preferences for goods, and have different attitudes about what they want from a retailer than their American counterparts. For the Japanese consumer, price is not the sole determinant of value, fresh fish is as important as bulk toilet paper, and packaging is nearly as important as product.
