The word "Galapagos" has garnered attention in Japan as an explanation for the loss of global competitiveness by the Japanese economy and Japanese companies, even while the Japanese companies are competitive domestically. The term has particularly been used with mobile phones in Japan, which are known as "Galapagos ke-tai." An analysis of newspaper articles showed that discussions on Galapagos mobile phones were primarily about technology, technology standards, and features. However, smartphones that looked like Galapagos ke-tai came to be called "Garaho" later, and the term Galapagos then took on the meaning of appearance.

Android smartphone manufacturers compete in the field of product development (Shiu & Yasumoto, 2016), and their relations with semiconductor suppliers will contribute to their product development advantages. 2) The following in-house components are recommended:…”

Companies that develop products with IC (Integrated Circuit) chipsets use toolkits provided by semiconductor suppliers to implement their own series of trial-and-error experiments ranging from concept creation to problem-solving in product developments. According to von Hippel (2001), toolkits have the following elements: (a) learning by doing via trial-and-error, (b) module libraries, (c) solution space, (d) user-friendly, and (e) translating user designs for production. This study defines (b) and (c) as the scope of support for toolkits and compares this scope for Android smartphone manufacturers (Samsung, Huawei, Vivo, and OPPO), which were provided by semiconductor suppliers (Qualcomm and Mediatek) in the 2010s. As a result, this study found that the scope of support of Mediatek's toolkit is broader than Qualcomm's. Compared to Samsung, Huawei, Vivo, and OPPO tended to adopt Mediatek's toolkit to benefit from the broader scope of support in their Android smartphone developments.

“…It is certain that spontaneous customer-to-customer (C2C) interactions increase the value addition of products and are even known to determine value addition (Kokuryo, 1998). In the open source area, software development is undertaken through frequent C2C interactions within customer communities Shiu & Yasumoto, 2016).…”

Two dealers of Harley-Davidson Japan who are remarkably different in terms of sales performance were selected and analyzed for a case study. It was found that these dealers were very different in their management of customer-to-customer (C2C) interactions. The high-performing dealer put into practice the following aspects, which were not seen with respect to the low-performing dealer: (i) creating groups of customers in their customer community according to "new owner," "intermediate," and "advanced" groups; and (ii) sponsoring original events for each group. The customer vehicle replacement rate and sales performance rose not only for C2C interactions within groups for activities (i) and (ii) but also for C2C interactions between groups.
