Interfirm Networks in the Japanese Electronics Industry (Hardcover, New)

Japan's postwar success in the assembly industries is frequently attributed to innovative approaches to the organization of production. Rather than relying on full-scale vertical integration, or arm's-length market transactions, Japanese assemblers have tended to forge intricate networks of long-term interfirm business relationships that have afforded them a host of advantages. As a result of global industry dynamics, such pyramidal production networks have come under mounting pressure and begun to give way to an increasing diversity of networks arrangements. This book's findings show how Japanese network arrangements have adapted in the Japanese electronics industry in order to cope with profound changes in the competitive environment and how the traditional production pyramids have begun to unravel. Japanese Interfirm Networks is the first book of its kind to focus wholly on analyzing the changes in production networks in the Japanese electronics industry and will be of enormous interest to those working in the areas of Japanese studies, Japanese business and industrial organization.
