Nippn is one of the popular Japanese flour mill that is currently focusing towards diversifying the products to acquire more customers. It mainly operates in five categories of business that includes food products, processed foods, ready made meals, frozen food and their identity flour based products. Currently the company is doing well that has encouraged it to implement innovations for gaining greater market recognition. This report, therefore, is going to analyze the way Nippn an use its resources and capabilities for overcoming the existing challenges. 

5.1. Critical Assessment of competitive advantage of Nippon

The company, namely Nippon, actively worked towards the delivery of the business operations and the enhancement of flour milling strategy within the agribusiness environment. This not only is ensuring strategic practices to gain the trust of the customers and use strategic perspectives to grow the business operations. It is also focusing on making efforts on a daily basis for keeping every customer satisfied. It is also focusing on strategic business approaches to make it more competitive and the enhancement of services of superior quality, which ultimately guides the contribution to society. Having mutually satisfactory interactions with the customers the company is also ensuring proper sets of products and service qualities towards meeting the business performances and the competitive advantages (Milewska, 2018). Moreover, the company is also ensuring proper sets of approaches that are continuously striving for betterment and improvement, that is through the proper set of business challenge creation and to ensure new aged technologies are also being incorporated within the workplaces. This helps the company towards enhancing its sales performance in a rapid and strategic manner.

It is ¥344.8 billion in the financial year ending on 31st March 2020 (Nippn, 2021). This rate of business growth to meet the business competitiveness to widen the sales performance than that of the previous year. This is also focusing on developing the scopes of business competitiveness and widens the strategic business environment through competitiveness and development of strategic business performance frameworks in a much appropriate and efficient manner. In FY2019 the company is able to secure ¥330,000 million which is much less than that of the sales rate in FY2020, that is ¥340,000 million (Nippn, 2021). 

Figure 2: Net Sales of Nippn

(Source: Nippn.co.jp)

While assessing the operating income of Nippn it can be said that the company needs to focus on changing its marketing strategies as the income ratio has been reduced in the Fiscal Year 2021 (¥10,5000) than that of the Fiscal Year 2020 (¥11.100). This can be due to the covid 19 impact. Furthermore, it is also not so active in the digital marketing business (Nippn,  2021). However, the competition in this industry is gradually increasing. Thus if the company is thinking to reach its expected business income then it must focus on its strategic decision to contact the customers to increase the sales.

Figure 3: Operating Income of Nippn

However, the ratio of net income of Nippn in Fiscal Year 2021 is also not much different from its operating income. It seems the net income of Nippn in FY2020 was ¥8800 million that has been slightly reduced to ¥8500 million.

Nippn has conducted a 1 for 2 share consolidation on 1st October 2016 on the basis of net assets per share, fully diluted profits, and profit per share (Nippn, 2021). The company needs to analyze the business processes and assessments in an appropriate manner to identify the areas of improvement. With the growing technological development, the company can implement advanced technologies to reduce labor costs and work time. It will simultaneously enhance the production with variation, which will help the company to gain a maximum competitive advantage (Nippn, 2021).

5.3. Corporate Strategy (Three)

Developing a corporate strategy is essential for ensuring the market stability of every business group. In this competitive market, every business organization is trying to establish itself as the most appropriate one. In doing so they require implementing various strategies to grab customer attraction and spread their popularity. Nippn, eventually, implements three types of corporate tragedies that help this organization to sustain itself in the market successfully. Corporate strategy, therefore, stands for the unique plan and framework that can be implemented to gain long-term benefits from the market (Neves, Gray, and Valerio, 2020). The organizations design this in a way that enables them to gain a competitive advantage over their market participants while delivering the stakeholders and customers their interests. There are mainly four corporate strategies that include stability strategy, retrenchment strategy, expansion strategy, and a combination strategy. Among these, Nippn has adopted an expansion corporate strategy (Nippn, 2021).

Expansion corporate Strategy: Nippn has adopted the expansion strategy as it is still continuing its existing business and doing well in its flour business. In this regard, it has selected three factors that are going to help the company to develop proper marketing strategic planning to reach its business aims. These factors are as follows:

• Stability: As there are other companies that are also emerging in the flour industry, the company is trying to focus on incremental improvement of its functional performance to ensure market stability in the flour business. The company needs to remember that a stability strategy does not mean to stand still in its previous position but to follow regular innovative ideas to reach maximum new customers (OECD, 2017). Being a less risky strategy the company can gain maximum market advantages from this one, as there is hardly any chance of failing for a year-old company like Nippn.
• Expansion: In this contemporary world, expansion of business has become so necessary to satisfy the reversed customer requirements. The firms like Nippn after adopting this strategy focus on the way they can serve the public with additional products with the help of strategic decisions within suit business definition. This strategy uses the redefined business process by adding activity scopes that help in substantial increment in efforts of the current business. The company is also focusing on ensuring that businesses in other Asian countries grab the market (Serraj, Krishnan,and Pingali, 2019).

Diversification: Currently, Nippn is focusing on diversifying its product ranges. In this respect, the company is increasing its product range from flour-based products to various readymade packaged foods. As the company has already got an extensive market share in japan it will help it in expanding their business in the border countries too.

5.4 Resultant Strategic direction of Nippon

RACES framework is mainly used for developing the strategic public relations plan that helps an organization to take significant steps in performing any type of marketing campaign. RACES stands for Reach, Act, Convert and Engage. While talking about RACES, it analyzes the other four factors in a strategic manner. Through this framework, the business organizations integrate all key channels as well as tactics into a single plan to streamline their marketing strategy. However, for implementing RACES it is important to develop a strategic plan that includes both micro and macro environments for ensuring had better influence. It can be seen that Nippn has adopted three strategies that include expansion, stability, and diversification (Sophal, Chansovy, and Metta, 2020). The RACES matrix is going to analyze whether the company can strategically implement these strategies to gain better market scopes in its operating areas.

Criteria	Analysis
Resources	For expanding the business into other countries, the company needs to focus on different touchpoint communications. It will help the company to understand the feedback of the consumers through different social media platforms. In addition, it needs to work on different promoting campaigns regarding its new product ranges is a creative manner. For this purpose, if the company uses different pictures and creative content to reach the customers it will be more beneficial for Nippn. The resources that the company needs to incorporate for making it capable for ensuring higher standards of business equipment’s and distributors can be engaged to with the suppliers and the distributors.
Acceptable	Managing a business is also highly dependent on the way an organization is interacting with its consumers. Even for being stable in their operating industry the company requires communication with the consumers. Otherwise, it will lose the market to its competitors. However, there are different ways through which Nippn can interact with its consumers, that includes, infographics, written guides, games and quizzes, and videos.
Consistent	After gathering ideas from the market survey, it is time to think about conversion. After coming to a valid conclusion regarding product diversification or policy implementation, it is important to test it on selective consumers of the environment. If Nippn is thinking to bring various new products to the market, then it must do a practical survey based on that.
Effective	The engagement is necessary for first-degree media investments, encouraging and promoting customer advocacy, and connection sharing. In this regard, Nippn can convert the business strategy to a customer-centric approach to expand the business.
Sustainable	After implementing the strategies Nippn needs to evaluate the way it can reach its aimed success. In this respect, the company needs to integrate its strategic campaigns and channel tactics that will cover its customer journey. It will help the company to analyze the way the customers are behaving towards the products and the improvements they require for more success.

Table 2: RACES Framework

(Source: Self-created)

Criteria	Analysis
Resources	Mostly, the company requires to focus on digital marketing strategy more than anything. This is the era of digitalization and especially after Covid 19, the companies are aggressively focusing on digitalization to capture maximum customers within the competitive market. It has been seen that Nippn is comparatively weak in digital marketing and campaigning (Stachová et al., 2019). If the company wants to expand the business in other countries, then it has to be more digitalized to understand the customer requirement of their selected countries also.
Acceptable	The company needs to identify the appropriate way that will help them to interact with maximum consumers. In this case, Nippn can use Games and Quizzes to interact with both national and international consumers through online platforms. Even though this they will be able to get, a detailed idea regarding their most liked and disliked products in the operating industry (Stokes et al., 2019).
Consistent	Based on the survey report it can change the product quality, which will help them or guide them, to bring the new and verified products to reach more customers. In addition, the company can implement different business strategies depending on demography. However, the company needs to monitor the changes regularly to understand whether the changes are effective or it requires further changes.
Effective	Furthermore, the company needs to be engaged towards increasing its customer and brand value through business promotion and campaign sharing.
Sustainable	It must not forget that Nippn requires effective management for customer retention with the help of digital channels. If the company cannot shift its business towards a digital one then it will be difficult for Nippn to win the market race.

5.5. Defending the proposal and Preferred strategic direction

The RACES framework in this report has identified the way Nippn can gain maximum strategic advantage from its operating market. This section, therefore, is going to assess the applicability of the RACES proposal on a critical note.

Firstly, it has been suggested to develop strong digital marketing to reach maximum customers. Undoubtedly, digital marketing in contemporary times is one of the key players to reach customers. It not only helps an organization to reach more consumers, eventually, it also helps the company to understand the market scenario in a detailed way (von Wendel, and Nyström, 2021). It is also possible to identify the key issues faced by the organization and the position of the competitors that can influence the business growth of Nippn. In contrast, if Nippn completely shifts towards digital marketing, then it will fail to align both the offline and online business due to its lack of experience in digital platforms.

Furthermore, it needs to focus on promoting business campaigns through social media platforms. Social media is one of the main ways to communicate with consumers. It seems in contemporary times people are more attracted to different social media platforms and spend a significant amount of time over there. Hence, if the company focuses on promoting the business through social media platforms it will be able to contact more consumers and understand the customer requirements (Wilson, Stover, and Tomaszewski, 2020).

It has planned to bring different products into the market. It is undoubtedly important to enhance the market. However, if the company fails in understanding the customer requirement properly it will not be possible for the company to gain success through its product expansion. Following this, it can also face loss in the operating market. This the company needs to conduct extensive surveys to get customer requirements regarding their products, and also after producing new products it needs to give the samples to the consumers for experimental usage. It will help the company to understand the effectiveness of the products and the way they can improve the flaws.

Furthermore, it has been proposed to engage the employees in strategic marketing to ensure customer retention. However, it is expected that it will help the company to integrate different tactics for covering customer journeys. Customer journey plays a very significant role in ensuring business stability and winning customer preferences. However, it is not that easy to map the customer journey of its international customers. Thus, it can divide the team based on its demography to understand the different customer choices in different areas. 

Strategic management plays a significant role in directing the development of plans and policies to achieve organizational objectives and allocate resources for plan implementation. Nevertheless, it is also important to gain a competitive advantage over the competitors. It also helps the organization to understand its future existence and develop plans accordingly. While discussing the proposed planning for Nippn it can be said that if the company focuses on customer-centric business it will be more beneficial for the company. In this way, it will be able to contact the consumers directly and the product price can also be kept reasonable. If the consumers get a wide range of products in a decent price range, then it will enhance the chance to impose a strong grip on the market and preferred customers. In addition, Nippn will also be able to bring their management into a disciplined order in both external and internal activities, which will increase the chance to expand the business in several other countries (Zubović and Jovanović, 2019). Thus, it can be said before implementing a new plan the company needs to do two main thighs that include risk identification and assessment and analyzing the customer requirements and feedbacks. This will help the company to understand its strategic market position and its business strength in both domestic and international markets.

6.0Conclusion 

In conclusion, it can be said that the enhancement and development of business performance, companies like Nippn are actively working towards the enhancement and growth of strategic marketing. Nippn in this respect is delivering some of the most crucial elements through proper research and innovations to meet significant sustainable competitive advantages. Hence, the proposal for Nippn should be to undertake is to ensure sustainability and profitability in the future.
