Abstract
In recent years, it has been necessary for companies to create new technologies or acquire them from other companies. In the automotive industry, as with hybrid technology, the integration where various technologies are compounded is accomplished. In this paper, the technology integration process is clarified with the case of Electronic Fuel Injection from DENSO. The process consists of three stages and technological leaps to pass between stages. (1) acquisition of core technology (2) acquisition of peripheral technology (3) creation of system product The leap between the acquisition of core technology and the acquisition of peripheral technology is accomplished by the adoption of an intermediate technology. Owing to the integration of mechanics and electronics, technology integration and established mechatronics technology are realized. The leap between the acquisition of peripheral technology and the creation of a system product is realized from the integration of the technology.
