Description

<p>In contrast to the slump in the electronics industry, Japanese electronic parts industry shows positive business performance. However, its profitability differs widely according to the type of supplier. In comparison with a generalized supplier, a specialized supplier tends to realize higher profitability. Why a specialized supplier is securing competitive advantages than a generalized supplier with synergy effects? To this question, this paper considers the fit between architecture strategy and product development system of a specialized supplier. Then, through in depth case study of Iriso Electronics, this paper demonstrates that competitiveness and profitability of a specialized supplier is not necessarily attributed to only one architecture strategy, which means that a specialized supplier develops multiple architecture strategies and establishes product development system and process that fit to these strategies.</p>
