日本企业间长期连续性交易关系理论评述

Review of Theories on Japan’s Inter-corporate Long-run Successive Transaction Relationships

日本企业间的交易关系与欧美国家的相比具有明显的不同,即它是以长期连续性交易为其特征的。日本的这种独特的企业关系一直是学术界研究的焦点。学者们的研究涉及该组织的形成,结构特征,内部的运行机制,该组织形式得以持续的原因及其未来的演化等诸多方面。跟踪这些研究,对于从微观上考察日本经济的现状和走向,对于深化产业组织理论的研究,对于了解后发型国家市场经济的特点都具有重要的意义。

Japanese inter-corporate transaction relationships, in that they are long-run successive, differ greatly from those of Euro-American countries. This unique corporate relationship in Japan has long been the focus of academic researches, involving the formation of its organization, the structural features, the internal operational mechanisms, the cause of its long existence, and the possible evolution pattern, etc. Following these researches, it is of great importance to study the current situation and future trend of Japanese economy on the micro-level, to develop the theories of industrial organization, and to better understand the characteristics of market economy in the backward countries.
