Japan’s Software Industry and Its International Competitiveness

Mita Takahashi

Abstract


Most Japanese software products are supplied to the domestic market, whereas few are supplied to the foreign market. Some authors discussed reasons why Japan’s software industry lacks international competitiveness. However, those studies do not explain why those reasons occur. This article shows several reasons of the lack of international competitiveness in the Japanese software industry. Then, we focus on the relationship of these reasons and analyze the relationship between the reasons. In addition, this study indicates that the multi-subcontracting system hampers the development of products for international competitiveness.
