"Because the trading structure of the Japanese auto industry is rather special, leading to a decline in the independence of component manufacturers and the lack of a separate technology strategy," Matsushima Masaru, technical advisor of the Japan Automobile Parts Industry Association, held a new generation of cars on April 23, 2014. Seminar 202X - The future of the car - makes this analysis. Matsushima said that the structure of Japanese automakers' and parts manufacturers' trading structures is more special than that of Europe and the United States. The two parties are not business partnerships, but are closer to the relationship between "domination" and "subordination." This not only leads to a reduction in the autonomy of component manufacturers, but also to the entire vehicle manufacturer. Specifically, such a structure leads to the lack of competitiveness of enterprises in international procurement, and because of the closed development system, it lags behind in the introduction of market standard technologies. In addition, this type of structure tends to have a slow pace of independent decision-making, such as accepting external capital or acquiring external companies. In the process of internationalization, it is more advantageous to adopt a system that can make quick decisions, like an independent company. Taking the car seat as an example, each vehicle manufacturer has its own seat manufacturer, and several seat manufacturers exist at the same time, and there is no sufficient business combination. However, there are fewer professional manufacturers who supply part of seats than seat manufacturers, and the scale of the company is large. Regarding the future direction of Japanese auto parts manufacturers, Matsushima stated that companies must clearly define their position as "provide high-efficiency standard parts for all customers" or "provide special parts tailored to customers' preferences." If the former is selected, sales can be expanded through joint ventures, commissioned production, and provision of technology; if the latter is selected, it can be used as a secondary supplier to supply components to module suppliers, or as a primary supplier as before part.
