Recently, it is expected that the technologies and skills of the localized industry forms the basis of the new regional industry in the regional industrial development strategy. However, these regional industrial strategy that based the technologies and skills of the localized industry, such as regional cluster programs, has difficult problems. This Paper discusses the meanings of the technologies and skills of the localized industry by considering localized industry as one regional system which forms the product chain. We take up the Sabae eye-glasses production area in Fukui Prefecture as a case study and discuss it. We examine the difficulty of the regional industrial strategies and today's the crisis of collapse of localized industry in the views of the technologies and skills of the localized industry.
In the localized industry, the companies which take the base technologies and skills are engaged in a specific works under the formation by the organizer. In this case these companies give only the "structure" to materials, but an organizer gives the "function" to it. Therefore, these companies need the organizer to shows their own ability in the localized industries. This is why the localized industry lacks in flexibility, because these companies tend to lack of the ability to understand the own technologies concerning the "function".
