Article Abstract:

The North American auto parts makers and the traditional Big Three car companies have very poor relations and so suppliers trust Japanese firms more, which would lead them to a profitable future. The Japan-based companies maintain strong relationships with their suppliers, which gives them a competitive advantage and is helping the gain market share against other companies.
