Evolution of Japan’s Corporate and Industrial Networks

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the dynamic change of Japan’s industrial organization within a framework of the evolutionary process from zaibatsu to business groups and further to the recent network industrial organization.1 However, the focus of this research is not on a historical analysis. Rather, by making a comparative analysis of the three corporate networks we attempt to bring into relief the basic character of the network industrial organization now appearing in Japan.
