Abstract
Global corporations are seeking fewer suppliers from whom to buy more
complete subsystems. Simultaneously, they transfer parts of manufacturing to
LC-countries. We present an empirical study on how the change from mass
production to manufacturing concept development takes place in three Finnish
case companies. The focus is on what kind of roles are emerging in value
networks. A new value network model demonstrating that the re-composition of
various ‘pieces' in value chains necessitates a structure or an actor - a
system integrator – is presented. The model is based on early supplier
involvement and networked product development theories.
