The book examines the evolution of production networks within Japan's electronics sector, highlighting the shift from traditional hierarchical interfirm relationships to more diverse network arrangements. It argues that global industry dynamics and the rising costs of technology are pressuring established 'pyramidal' structures, prompting manufacturers to seek complementary assets and capabilities beyond conventional boundaries. This analysis sheds light on the changing landscape of collaboration and innovation in the Japanese electronics industry.
