Abstract
This paper is a part of another comprehensive study of the strategies for changing the position
of Japanese SMEs in business relationships. In this paper, first, adopting Gadde & Mattsson’s
ideas, we will show average stability in business relationships in Japan by statistical data.
Second, following Dubois, Gadde, & Mattsson’s work, we will suggest strategies for
changing positions for some SMEs. Combined with over 100 pieces of statistical data and a
brief case study, there will be a suggestion of a persuasive escape strategy from the bottom
position.
Keywords: position, business relation, statistical data, Japanese SMEs.
