Abstract

LCD TV sales reached an estimated five million units in 2003 and are expected to break ten million by 2005. However, sales of LCD TVs at the end of 2003 and the beginning of 2004 were disappointing, leaving channel players with large inventories. However, disappointing sales failed to slow continued investment in next generation lines for LCD TV panels, heating up competition in the LCD TV panel market. This study examines product strategies, customer structure, vertical integration, and production strategy and their relationship to makers' strategic positioning and competitiveness.
