| Research Abstract |
The provisional conclusion obtained by research is as follows
(1)In connection with international reorganization of the world auto industry, Japanese auto industry is carp vying complicated reforms of the division-of-work structure of itself. The conventional Keiretsu connections are turning to weaker and facing with the subject of how to build "the relation by reliance" between maker and suppliers

(3)The secondary and lower rank auto-parts supplier and service supplier are suffered from global reorganization in many-sided and seriously
(4)The relation between the global reorganization and local industrial accumulation of the auto industry can say as follows. It is probably limited now that the influence of the economical use on the

(5)It is impossible to say decisively What influence module type production has on local area industrial accumulation. Because if the area concerned has high degree of accumulation of the technical development power and manufacture skill, module type production will bring fovor to it
(6)If a period is limited after the second half of the 1990s which is the object period of this research, it is to say that the influence of reorganization movement of the international auto industry on local auto industry accumulation area in Japan is quitly limited and various
(7)Generally each auto industry accumulation area in Japan responds to global industrial reorganization positively. It is predicted that the al-ea will accomplish a big change in decade of the beginning in the 21st centory Less
