| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research project was to understand subsidiary development in relation to other sister subsidiaries located same country or other countries. Our empirical studies on the plant location choice of Japanese auto parts manufacturers in ASEAN revealed that time-weighted average distance had impact on the plant location choices. This results imply the experience accumulated by the firm affects subsequent foreign market entries. Thus the location strategy is influenced more by the characteristics of “home base” than those of home country (Zhou and Guillen, 2015). Moreover our case studies on Japanese electric manufacturers showed some subsidiaries developed their role by transferring their function to the sister subsidiaries located in other countries, by expanding their products and services, and by entering new markets.
