Chihiro Sato made a comment
Last week we’ve dived into the term “service” and learned that we take an alternative view to understand the various exchange amongst humans; and products are an intermediary of servicing. We’ve also explored the variety of disciplines that service design builds upon, and discussed about how trust can be constructed amongst human beings. Finally we briefed you...
-
Must have been great especially during the lockdown period!!
-
Love Transferwise as well!
-
Cool!! Didn't know of Toss, what a shame!! Japan shall definitely have takeaways from the case.
-
I'll definitely look more into Haidilao (i've been to the one in Ikebukuro!) for sure! their case is so inspiring!
-
IKEA's definitely a great case!!
-
When talking about startups, all the members are sort of like internships in a way; they are all equally "cheap labor" in the starting up process. What you receive in exchange might not just be the labor cost but more the experience or knowledge or anything else that you might have valued,
-
Let me get back to you about this more in the class!
-
Let's discuss more about this in class!
-
It's a case from the "Japan as number one" days which are nearly a half century ago, but we can still learn a lot from this!!
-
Chihiro Sato replied to Zexin Nicole Ma
For sure that sounds like it would contribute to a good life!
-
Glad to see many actors that would appear for the supporting part of the artists. Let’s keep thinking how these could be integrated!

@JianPan A reply back from Prof Kobayashi:
CEN/TS 16555-1:2013 coined innovation as "implementation of a new or significantly improved product (good or service), or process, new marketing method, or new organizational method in business practices, workplace organization or external relations"We'll discuss more in the next real-time class!
-
@QiyaoZhang Glad to know that! Thanks for sharing!!
-
Price is very important when it comes to actually "market" your product/service. Too much function is not always the answer.
-
Woa that's an aggressive product to sell.... There's been interesting discussion on the ethics of what (not) to sell on Mercari, but customers are clever and they always come up with a very "creative" way of selling items that ethically shouldn't be sold. I'm wondering how Alibaba's policy in general is for the ethics.
-
Very good point. That's actually why they're doing surprising well this past 6 months.
-
They're doing superb now. I'll share a recent article about them (it's in Japanese only)

Glad to hear that. Hope you can image yourself conducting the process in the future.
-
Agree. What's most important in such situation is if you have enough passion to pursue even though you encounter those objections.
-
Everyone's favorite Alibaba!!!
-
Interesting way of "forcing" the learner not to leave, but that's actually the quickest way of acquiring a language; to continue.
-
Thanks for sharing! Both the way it looks and the functionality should be full of beauty.

We'll be talking more about the ability (or competence) of a human in Week 2, when we discuss what a "good life" is. Hope you enjoy!
-
Chihiro Sato replied to Hejie Wang
Good sum up! We'll get back to brands and marketing perspectives more in Week 4 so keep them in mind!
-
Chihiro Sato replied to Zexin Nicole Ma
Guess what, I've realized myself doing the same thing.
-
I'm glad you're getting the intention :)
-
Good point. We'll invite Prof Kobayashi for a real-time session in November, so let's keep this as a discussion topic!
-
Chihiro Sato replied to Shuoping Shi
I've been wondering how the Alipay's credit score system is actually doing. It seems it's woven itself quite well!
-
Chihiro Sato replied to Ning Jiang
Yes I completely agree, and we'll discuss more about this in Week 4!
-
that's what "media design" is supposed to tackle!
-
Chihiro Sato replied to Yuxin Zhang
hmmm interesting story.....
-
Chihiro Sato replied to Nora CHAI
wow they've done a really good job the past 20 yrs!!
-
If you're living in a 村 (village), you'd have local rules, languages, or any tacit understanding that underlies the ecosystem. 都市 (cities) on the other hand is more open to those that don't have and tacit understandings, more people come and go, which has more diversity.
-
Chihiro Sato replied to Shichun Liu
It's a pity that most "marketing" is still the push style in this era.. should consider it more as an intermediary.
-
Chihiro Sato replied to Nora CHAI
都市 or an urbanized community, as opposed to the countryside or 鄙 if this character makes sense in Chinese....
-
More will come up in Week 2!
-
We'll talk more in Week 4, about the "business method patents".
-
Open innovation and Open strategy will be discussed later in Week 3 and 4 :)
-
Prof Saito gives practical classes this semester on blockchain technologies, but it's only in Japanese.
-
Build-to-Think is also an essence here.
-
For sure it is.
-
Think wider perspective in the structure rather than the small detailed tricks, is closer in meaning with the original Japanese.
-
Maybe we should look more into how CCC (Cultural Convenience Club, they do Tsutaya) does business through their T-point cards.
-
The original Japanese word that aligns with "methods" here talks more about small tricks. Mechanisms refer more toward the whole structure.
-
Probably all differs in what industry you're looking into. We'll have cases on Nissin Noodles and Honda Super Cub later on.
