| Research Abstract |
This paper examined how the Japanese computer industry emerged and developed. The cases of NEC, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Toshiba and the role of MITI were closely investigated. In the case of NEC, a cross share-holding among Sumitomo group facilitated NEC's growth in the 1960s. In the emergent process of the industry, MITI and its industrial policy facilitated the development particularly when it utilized private competition and governmental coordination simultaneously. Entrepreneurship, however, played more important role for the development of the industry.
