Abstract:
The general purpose of this doctoral dissertation is to analyze the fall of the American auto industry due to the Japanese competition in the 80s and 90s, using 2 conflicting models to that end: the Aoki's transaction costs theory and the American neo-protectionist theory. More accurately, this dissertation is an attempt to understand how and why the deep relationships between the Japanese firms inside the keiretsu, and between them and the state, cant'be regarded as an evidence of an unfair competition based on the erection of barriers to entry and on a monopolistic rent exploited by the automakes-which is the neo-protectionist opinion-, but should better be considered as a tool of efficiency-which is Aoki'point of view-.nevertheless a thorough study of the Japanese organization also shows the limits of the Aoki's model, and the usefulness of the concept of integration to understand the usefulness of the concept organization both from the transaction cost theory and the agency theory.
