Research Abstract |
This reseach examines why the competitiveness of Japanese shipbuilding industries weakened and what mechanisms or factors worked on it. Also, we discuss about how increasing demands of emerging markets affect innovations in the industry. To conclude, we argue that some interacting factors resulted in the decline of Japanese shipbuilding industries. The factors include (1) misleading of the market trend or outlook, (2) selecting order policy and high value added product strategy which is based on their technical supremacy, (3) falling into the trap of diversification strategy despite of the abundant technological and human resources.
