| Research Abstract |
Some researchers indicate that Inter-organizational Relationships or Keiretsu systems contribute to Japanese prosperity in the 80s. However, some Japanese companies renovate their specific close relationships with supplier. This research project examines the change of inter-organizational relationships and inter-organizational cost management in Japan as following :
(1)We review the management accounting, economics, and management literatures to find the problem within inter-organizational relationships in Japan. Through the literature review, we find that the gathering of financial information and non-financial information by buyers is the key to understand inter-organizational relationships.
(2)We use questionnaire survey data to examine the feature of Inter-organizational relationships in Japan. Questionnaires are mailed to 353 Japanese firms which belong to Machinery, Electrical/electronics, Transportation equipment or Precision equipment industries. The data indicate that some Japanese firms shift short term relationships with suppliers to be more profitable and abandon the long term relationships which are not profitable.
