Abstract
This paper is intended as a comparative study of the Japanese and Chinese companies. By using the data of SCM logistics scorecard (LSC) which was developed to self-evaluation of these companies, we try to figure out not only the features of the Chinese SCM structure but also their problems to establish efficient SCM. Analyzing the LSC data, results show that first, Chinese Companies tend to emphasize an agreement formation about transactions and second, leveling up their IT competence is one of the most important problems in order to build more efficient SCM.
