Abstract
The LCD panel industry is of great importance to all four of the leading East Asian economies: Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China. This report examines the strategic alliances that have been formed by companies in the LCD panel industry, identifying three major strategies behind the formation of these alliances. A strategy map is drawn up to clarify the strategic thinking behind the panel makers' decision-making and the changes that have taken place in the value chain, and an attempt is made to forecast how the industry will develop over the next few years.
