{"title":"Messages for Railway Systems Based on 30 Years’ Experience of Japanese National Railway Privatization","authors":"Yoshitaka Ishii, Kai Xu, KE Seetha Ram","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3512292","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3512292","url":null,"abstract":"We provide information for railway systems based on 30 years’ experience of Japanese railway privatization. First, we introduce the background, framework, and result of the Japanese National Railway reform, especially from the perspective of the former president of the JR Kyushu Railway Company. We explain the challenges, such as diversified businesses and employee capacity building, which the company faced during that time and the creation of the business foundation in preparation for the transformation into a private company. We also discuss the tasks of the railway, including the freight transport of the high-speed railway (the Shinkansen logistics), as well as the population decline and aging society in Japan and their relationship with the railway system. Last, we summarize the implications of Japan’s railway experience for a broader railway system. The high levels of safety and efficiency of Japan’s railway system are based on the railway culture (hard, soft, heart) and the Japanese nationality. The railway system is extremely important for long-term economic development. In addition, we introduce the PPET Railway-ology, which integrates philosophy, politics, economy, and technology. We crystallize years of railway experience and offer valuable lessons for the development of railway systems worldwide.","PeriodicalId":118119,"journal":{"name":"TransportRN: Rail Transportation (Topic)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123181275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research based on interviews with rail industry stakeholders, although undertaken at an early stage of the procurement effort, shows that there are substantial gains to be made by local manufacturers, in particular, those willing to embrace change. It also suggests that management of the procurement over its scheduled four year duration may significantly impact outcomes. Different localisation strategies and behaviours by the contracted original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) influence their supplier’s behaviour and outcomes. The design of local procurement policy and instruments intended to give effect thereto are analysed, shortcomings identified and remedial suggestions made. Observations on the political economy shaping policy and the industrial landscape being shaped by such policy are offered.","PeriodicalId":118119,"journal":{"name":"TransportRN: Rail Transportation (Topic)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128476398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The regional governments-owned challenger managed to raise its market share to more than 33% (2010) but eventually was forced out of the market (2015) due to a sudden change in its business strategy as well as the incumbent’s strategic pressure on the political and regulatory decision-makers.
