This book provides an authoritative study of interfirm and supplier
relationships in leading Japanese industries, which thoroughly
disrupts existing cultural stereotypes by pursuing a carefully
crafted evolutionary and comparative perspective combined with
compelling original research' - Geoffrey Jones, Harvard Business
School, USThe goal of this path-breaking volume is to relativize
the experience of Japanese industries in terms of both location and
time, exploring its similarities and differences with other
countries and its unique relationship with the global standard of
company performance set by US firms. Yongdo Kim looks beyond
organizational principles, overturns stereotypes, and covers a wide
range of industries. In particular, this book focuses on the
intertwining of the market principle and the organizational
principle in interfirm relationships among the steel, machine tool,
integrated circuit and liquid-crystal display materials industries,
concluding that there is no such thing as 'Japanese uniqueness' in
the history of interfirm relationships. This book compares several
intermediate product industries within a global context to offer
insights into the studies of businesses across the globe. Numerous
interviews with key individuals in the Japanese steel, integrated
circuit and machine tool industries offer unique and illuminating
information. This analysis covers a broad range of firms by
examining the relationships within large companies as well as
smaller corporations. This fresh and varied analysis is a critical
resource for both business practitioners and scholars of business
history, business strategy, industrial marketing, product
development management, and economic history.
