Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 亞洲研究所碩士班 === 99 === As the economic growth in East Asia, Japanese companies also change their commercial focus to other foreign countries in recent years. Meanwhile, due to the global commercial competition, Japanese companies have lost their leadership in various industries, especially for the computer and, DVD player industries. In this thesis, new style of international division of labor was proposed, and in addition, a question about the traditional Japanese manufacturing business model does still work under the pressure of global competition will be discussed in the content. According to preceding studies, we know that the Japanese companies have an advantage of developing integration architecture products.
In this study, there are two reasons for reforming product architecture. The first is product digitalization. The products in digital forms make the information transmission much easier. The product designs and producing processes for various industries including the emerging industrialization countries have been controlled easily. The other reason is international standardization that makes the outside interface of technical module and the tolerance to open to the global market. These reasons can explain why the international division of labor would occur in a short period.
Since the traditional Japanese manufacturing business model is not suitable global business environment. The Japanese companies need to change their organizational structure and also to cooperate with other superior companies such as license or R&D process.
