Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Rising wage levels in China have led to changes in the locational conditions surrounding local firms as well as foreign-affiliated companies that have advanced into the country. Using some companies and industrial areas as representative models, we did an empirical analysis of the extent to which locational conditions have changed and the accompanying transformation of location. Among the subjects examined, we concluded that some companies clearly have withdrawn from a location, relocated, or modified their business operations. There are also Japanese-affiliated companies that, through the localization of management personnel, have set out to reduce costs and expand sales. Although privately managed car makers capitalized with Chinese funds have embarked on the development and production of high-value-added luxury cars while grappling with the challenge of advanced industrialization, the reasons for their lackluster results under present conditions require further study of trends.
