Features: This book is an expansion and refinement of the doctoral dissertation by Bai Xuejie. It discusses the characteristics and role of Japanese industrial organizations in foreign trade and economic development from two aspects: the competitiveness of Japan's export industries and the domestic market entry barriers. The book begins by analyzing the similar industrial organizational characteristics of post-war Japanese export industries and concludes that the Japanese-style industrial organizational features, represented by a stable competitive oligopoly system and a pyramid-shaped system of subcontracting, are one of the sources of the strong competitiveness of Japan's export industries. At the same time, Japanese industrial organizations also play a certain role as market entry barriers.
