Abstract
This paper estimate value maps of three electronics industries of China in the 2000s. Utilizing the estimated demand estimates of the three industries, I draw a cost-benefit supply curve that can visualize the positioning strategies, such as “cost-advantage strategies” and “benefit-advantage strategies”. Results indicate that FOEs takes a benefit-advantage position and private owned enterprise keeps a cost-advantage position, whereas SOEs were trapped in the middle. Anadditional findings is that benefits of POEs and SOEs were not priced proportionally. Higher benefit products are priced as much the same as lower benefit products. This might implies “excess” price competition among SOEs and POEs.
