that sounds plausible. but i think that this is even more
true concerning companies which are situated in different
layer as to producing/constructing, assembling, etc. they
are the ones which will join in groups to have the
suppliers "inhouse" so to speak.

still it is hard to imagine a japanese company joining
forces with a non-japanese. even if it will/has happen it
opposes ones predjudices.
i think that the ability to exist in a global enviroment
will indeed be a competitive advantage which, up to now, the
japanese has not have as much as, for instance,  us
companies.
the japanese company that will obtain such strenght will
undoubtly gain momentum compared to their japanese
competitors.
