The Core Competition of Global Giant Electronics Companies

Abstract

In previous sections we conducted comparative analyses for global electronics companies divided into six clusters that span the entire electronics technology chain. Analyses of company-level data have indicated that Japan has become a dominant player in the global electronics industry, its success can be attributed to its giant electronics companies. The United States’s position in the global market, however, has declined substantially. This decline can be directly attributed to the losses of market share by U.S. giant electronics companies. On the other hand, U.S. mid-sized companies in all the clusters exhibited excellent performances.
