This chapter presents both quantitative and clinical data from the comparative studies of automobile product development, which I have participated in during the 1980s, early 1990s, and mid-1990s mainly at Harvard University (Clark, Chew and Fujimoto, 1987; Clark and Fujimoto, 1991; Ellison, et al., 1995, etc.) to analyze the dynamic process of capability-building competition in this industry. It focuses on the Japanese advantages in the 1980s, the Western “reverse catch-up” in the 1990s (American in particular), as well as recent efforts by some Japanese auto makers to further reduce lead times. Since systematic data collection on the last case has not started yet, I will present analytical framework and some preliminary anecdotal evidence at this point.
