Research Abstract

We have examined sample survey how SME could have changed their positions with their business acquaintances for past ten years. Position means the roles to their business acquaintances. We assume these roles as 7 grades, from main suppliers to simple subcontractors. We revealed that the ratio was below 5%, which was far less than we had expected. And we also have revealed that the firms which could have changed their positions to upward had extended their market by product innovation.
