CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES

Dynamic multiculturism continues to be a vital aspect of global marketing that affects consumers and businesses around the world. The theme of this year’s conference is, “Marketing in the Turbulent Environment” This theme emphasizes the need for educators and business leaders to recognize, appreciate, and understand the significance of marketing in the dynamic global world including different cultures and cross-cultural business practices, as they affect both domestic and multinational marketing strategies. The 2010 Global Marketing Conference at Tokyo offers outstanding opportunities for business leaders and academics to share their insights and learn from the research finding and experiences of others. The program chairs welcome participation from all cultures and parts of the world. We look forward to a stimulating and interactive conference. Proceedings of this conference will have an ISSN number.

Venue

Tokyo, officially Tokyo Metropolis is the center of the Greater Tokyo Area, the world’s most populous metropolitan area with 35 million people. Tokyo is the seat of the Japanese government and the Imperial Palace, and the home of the Japanese Imperial Family. Tokyo is one of the three world finance "command centers", along with New York City and London. Tokyo has the largest metropolitan economy in the world. Tokyo had a total GDP of US$1,191 billion in 2005 (at purchasing power parity), ranking as the largest urban agglomeration GDP in the world. As of 2008, 47 of the companies listed on the Global 500 are based in Tokyo, almost twice that of the second-placed city. Tokyo has many commercial centers for shopping, eating and simply wandering around for experiencing the modern Japanese urban phenomenon, such as dazzling Shinjuku, youthful Shibuya and upmarket Ginza. Other tourist attractions are the Tokyo Tower, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building, the World Trade Center Building, Roppongi Hills and the Rainbow Bridge. Of course you can enjoy watching a gigantic shape of Mt. Fuji from Tokyo. It takes less than 20 minutes from the conference site (The Chiba Campus of the Rytsu Keizai University) to the downtown of Tokyo by subway.
