| Research Abstract |
In this research, the author conducted in-depth field research on product development organization and its process to reveal the relationship between them. Then, author discovered three facts as below: At first, the author discovered that the concept of “Multi-layered problem solving” can be seen in automotive OEMs rather universal than the phenomenon specific in Japan. Secondly, the author pointed out the necessity of both organizational and process change in the context of localization of product development. Finally, the author suggested that the “modularization of cars” is progressing along with setting the “Design Rules” by OEMs.
