In order to analyze the system LSI business strategy from a practical viewpoint, we proposed a method of visualization analysis using architecture theory. We decomposed products value as [Products competitiveness]=[Performance]x[Quality]x[Function]x[Cost]x[Delivery]x[Service] which are the essence of competition strategy, and analyzed the positioning of each elements on the architecture. As for the independent system LSI companies, integrated semiconductor company, semiconductor division of vertically integrated company, we visualized and analyzed elements that are placed in integral / closed and elements that are modular and open, and considered the grounds for those positioning. We clarified that the supply side competition strategy has a practical closure inside such as "Dominance of the interface" and "Securing the right to revise the technology", while pretending to open. This showed that the proposal is effective as a method to examine the fact of the common strategy that forms "the real nature of success".
