Abstract

P(論文)

This paper conducts demonstrative analysis of locations of Japanese textile and apparel corporations in China verifying an effective analysis framework to analyze the locations of Japanese multinational corporations. The framework in analyzing used in this paper is P. Dickens's production chain. In this paper Japanese textile and apparel corporations are classified into two categories based on the production chain, a manufacturing corporation and a commercial corporation. The research topics of this paper are (1) to analyze geographical configuration of the production chain, and (2) to examine the relations among the corporations based on the production chain. The results show the following two facts. First, it is found that geographical configuration of the production chain of Japanese textile and the apparel corporations in China are formed centering on the thread, textile, the sub-materials, and clothes in the production and are formed centering on manufacturing and sales in the aspect of function. However, it is noticeable that in China both products and functions are concentrated on the central coast region, that the regional differences of the country are intense, and that the location of the production chain is limited. Secondly, the result shows that in the relationships among the corporations based on the production chain, Japanese manufacturing corporations have commercial functions in China and on the other hand, Japanese commercial corporations have manufacturing functions in China, which means they have functional similarities. That is, this study clarifies the developments of both manufacturing corporations and commercial corporations in China in the locations of Japanese multinational corporations in China.
