| Research Abstract |
Major Japanese electronics manufacturers involved in the production of solar cells and lithium ion batteries do not have a comprehensive strategy to link their superior technology with turning a profit. In other words, the idea that technological superiority=competitiveness is only half the story. In these companies, the conceptual abilities needed to formulate an overarching strategy to maintain stable profits over the long-term by making use of a technological lead are weak, and for this reason, such a technological lead could be lost, and if products are commoditized, these companies might lose their competitiveness. Through interviews and literature surveys, this research has clarified the problems facing major Japanese electronics manufacturers.
