This study compares supplier relationship by multinational assemblers in China vis-a-vis the Chinese assemblers in the stage of product development. We surveyed seven automobile firms (four international joint ventures and three Chinese firms) during 2005-2007, when the Chinese automobile industry began to rear up. Based on the survey, we examined the roles of suppliers, which is one of the critical dimensions in product development of the automobile industry. Our findings suggest that, during this period, although supplier relationship between two groups did not differ remarkably, there existed subtle but substantial differences: Supplier relationship of the Chinese automakers was oriented with long-term learning. In contrast, supplier relationship of multinational automakers was oriented with short-term efficiency. Both learning and efficiency are key dimensions that determine competitiveness in the automobile industry and they suggest the strategic directions to which the two groups of firms were proceeding. We also discuss the methodological issues, the limitations, and the future research agenda.
