Research Abstract
This research empirically investigates how inter-firm relations, such as vertical keiretsu and long-term relationships, affect inter-firm transactions, drawing on a panel data set over 32 years on component transactions between OEMs and suppliers in the Japanese automotive industry. Our statistical analysis shows that while many keiretsu suppliers had shrunk their role since the early 2000s, some, particularly Toyota’s, had maintained their role. The result indicates a possible mechanism to maintain keiretsu relations, where keiretsu suppliers could survive through improving competitive advantage and expanding customer scope. This research also conducted a questionnaire survey with Japanese suppliers and revealed some relations between oversea and domestic transactions.
