RAKUTEN TOKYO, JAPAN Megumi Minaki Class of 2016

MY INTERNSHIP Rakuten Inc. E-commerce and Internet services company Intern at Rakuten Cross-border Trading Department (Rakuten Global Market, global.rakuten.com/en) Sales team: oversee merchant performance and assistance, conduct merchandising analysis, plan campaigns and promotions Focus on merchant side of Rakuten service

PROJECTS 1.Rakuten Global Market Service Blueprint & competitor analysis Purpose: highlight and learn every step in the Rakuten service process, as well as that of competitors 2.Rakuten Virtual Logistics Center Purpose: after company and competitor analyses, propose own idea/component of process to improve Rakuten service 3.Merchandising Data Analysis for 2014 Purpose: analyze data and trends from raw transaction data of Familiarize myself with Excel, trend analysis, and merchandising techniques. 4.Proposal to Merchant as an e-commerce “consultant” Purpose: Use learned skills to conduct detailed performance analysis of the assigned merchant, and present proposals to merchant (in Japanese) on final day.

MOST REWARDING ASPECT OF INTERNSHIP The most rewarding aspect of my internship was learning a variety of skills through each project process, and being able to utilize those skills in the following projects. Each project built onto one another, and ultimately culminated into final project of making a presentation of my proposals to an actual Rakuten merchant Skills include: Excel, service blueprint creation, merchandising data analysis, use of formal/business Japanese (and translating business terms between Japanese/English)

FINAL PROJECT: PRESENTATION OF PROPOSALS TO A RAKUTEN MERCHANT

HOW DID MY WORK CONTRIBUTE TO RAKUTEN? Merchandising Data Analysis for 2014 Through close analysis of demographics, raw transaction data, and observable of market trends in each country, I came up with various proposals for future campaigns and merchandising strategies. Proposal to Merchant as an e-commerce “consultant” This was a “trial” intern project, so the basic outline and types of information/proposals I came up with can be used for future interns as well as other sales team members focusing on specific merchants with potential.

ACADEMIC CHOICES & CAREER PLANS Academic Major: East Asian Studies Working in Japan reaffirmed my interest in East Asia (with Japan as primary area of specialization) Main countries I focused on were China and Korea – interesting to learn about these dominant (and rising) powers in e-commerce industry Career Interest in e-commerce industry Planning to look more closely into the different scales/types of consulting, as this internship gave me the opportunity to experience “consulting” on a fairly smaller scale

CULTURAL AWARENESS & PERSONAL GROWTH First internship experience in a Japanese business environment Became more aware of unique Japanese business etiquette Ex: formal exchange of business cards, not leaving work before your superior, etc. Personal growth areas Learning to communicate better and efficiently with co-workers as well as superiors Gained more confidence in using formal/business Japanese Acquired diverse skills, both during work (communication, planning/working with a team, data analysis) and outside of work (communication, meeting new people)
