| Tiivistelmä: | Japanese firms obtained a dominant share of the USA numerical control (NC) machine tool market due to a carefully planned and executed long-term global strategy. It is shown how firm-level corporate strategy and government policy interact to enhance competitive position of the Japanese firms in the world market. Japan's largest machine tool companies initiated firm-level strategies of continued upgrading of capital equipment through investment, with a reduction in the use of labor, leading to lowered costs and increased productivity. They introduced new lines of inexpensive, standardized, off-the-shelf NC machine tools particularly suited to the needs of smaller businesses. A great amount of statistical data are provided. |
