Abstract

This chapter carries out an in-depth case study analysis of the postwar development of the Japanese aircraft industry on the basis of the analytical framework developed in the preceding chapter. As we briefly reviewed in Chapter 3, Japan has largely failed with catch-up strategy pursuing firm-based late industrialization (FLI); that is, the Japanese aircraft manufacturers have not been able to gain competitive advantage as system integrators in the finished product market. From the perspective of upgrading FLI strategy, however, they may be said to have been successful in gradually increasing total aerospace production and productivity as well as export of component parts. The Japanese post-war experience offers an apt case to examine both the difficulties and the possibilities of these two FLI strategies in the fast-globalizing commercial aircraft industry.
