| Research Abstract |
This study constructed and quantitatively analyzed a large-scale dataset on supply networks comprised of automobile parts suppliers and car manufacturers. The findings include that the network structures and their temporal transitions reflect various factors, such as products' technological characteristics, market situations and firms' financial interdependencies. The analysis has also brought implications on the interdependencies between the network structures and their robustness, as well as between firms' survival strategies and the entire network's robustness. There has been to date very little quantitative research that captured supply networks' temporal transitions, and therefore this study will contribute to the future development of this field.
