From the case of Hitachi, Ltd.

Abstract

This paper traces the transition of organizational strategy by taking a major electric information and communication company (Hitachi, Ltd.) in the “post-Chandrian economy” (PCE) era as an example. We will consider organizational strategies and strategic areas as the emergence of new business models through intercompany networks (Platform strategy in Phase 1) and digitization for the realization of a super-smart society (Platform strategy in Phase 2).
