This paper reviews the book Competitiveness of the East Asian Industries (edited by H. Shioji) and explores how to develop a methodology for industry studies. The review focuses on the following key concepts of the book: 1) East Asia Four, 2) the Prouducer Country Base (PCB) and the Maker Base (MB), and 3) “innovation shift”, competition structure, and division of labor. First, East Asia Four (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China) is a unique group of countries that foster Asian big businesses in the early twenty-first century, likely because they share a geographical and historical context and have been strongly influenced by modern Japanese industry. Second, it is essential to analyze East Asia Four according to the both criteria of PCB —domestic production (regardless of makers ’nationality) — and MB — global production of a country’s makers (makers ’nationality is considered) — to evaluate their global competitiveness in depth. The strength of brand nationality especially represents the collective market power of the firms of a country. Third, “innovation shift” signifies a fundamental change that disrupts the structure of competitive advantage among nations. It may accelerate a challenger nation’s catch-up or cripple it. Thus, we can classify catching up strategy into two types—one that will cause an innovation shift and one that will not. Every industry has its unique competition structure and division of labor and this can be mapped on a 2x2 matrix.
