Abstract: This report provides an in-depth analysis of inventory management practices in the agriculture and hotel/tourism industries across China, the United States, and Japan. The research finds that agricultural inventory management exhibits significant seasonal characteristics and perishability, while the hotel/tourism sector focuses more on efficient allocation of service resources. Value Driver Analysis reveals significant differences in how inventory turnover affects supply chain stability and customer satisfaction. Case studies of Beidahuang Group, Archer Daniels Midland, Marubeni Corporation, Jinjiang International, Marriott International, and Hoshino Resorts illuminate the distinct characteristics of inventory management in primary industries versus service sectors.

This study selects two fundamental industries - Agriculture and Hotel/Tourism - focusing on inventory management practices in China, the US, and Japan. In the agricultural sector, China's Beidahuang Group manages grain inventory through modern storage systems; US-based Archer Daniels Midland optimizes agricultural product inventory through its global trade network; Japan's Marubeni Corporation controls inventory risks through refined supply chain management. In the hotel/tourism sector, China's Jinjiang International optimizes room inventory through digital platforms; US-based Marriott International implements dynamic pricing inventory management systems; Japan's Hoshino Resorts emphasizes seasonal demand inventory adjustment. Industry trends indicate that agricultural inventory management is advancing towards smart storage and cold chain logistics, while the hotel/tourism industry places greater emphasis on revenue management and customer experience optimization.

Using Value Driver Analysis, this study explores the relationships between inventory turnover and three variables: Supply Chain Stability, Customer Satisfaction, and Resource Utilization Rate in the Agriculture and Hotel/Tourism industries. Analysis of COFCO Group and Bunge Limited in the agricultural sector shows a positive correlation (r≈0.63) between inventory turnover and supply chain stability. In the hotel/tourism sector, analysis of Huazhu Group and Hilton Hotels indicates a more significant impact of inventory turnover on customer satisfaction (r≈0.68). Both industries demonstrate that inventory management needs to be synergistically optimized with operational efficiency and market demand.

Focusing on the luxury hotel industry, we diagnose the inventory health of US-based Marriott International and China's Jinjiang International. Key assessment metrics include Room Booking Rate, Average Daily Rate Fluctuation, and Customer Satisfaction Index. Marriott optimizes room inventory management through its global reservation system. Jinjiang International enhances inventory utilization efficiency through its membership system. In-depth analysis reveals that Marriott maximizes inventory value through brand advantages, while Jinjiang International improves market response speed through localized operations. This comparison illustrates that hotel companies' inventory management proficiency is closely related to their brand influence and digital capabilities.

This report, through a cross-country comparative analysis of the Agriculture and Hotel/Tourism industries, reveals the fundamental differences in inventory management between primary industries and service sectors. Agriculture needs to cope with natural cycles and supply chain risks, while the hotel/tourism sector must balance service capacity with market demand. Value Driver Analysis confirms from multiple dimensions the importance of inventory turnover for corporate sustainable development. The corporate case diagnoses demonstrate that successful inventory management requires deep integration with industry characteristics and market needs. Against the backdrop of rural revitalization and cultural-tourism integration, inventory management in these two industries will increasingly emphasize digitalization, intelligence, and sustainable development, becoming key elements for enhancing corporate core competitiveness.
