Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to clarify formation process of product development system ( product development process, organization, customer relationship management) and sources of competitive advantages in functional chemical industry. We adopted case study methodology. We compared the formation process of product development of functional chemical industry with automotive industry（assembled product） and clarified the characteristics of that industry.
