World automobile industry is changing fast. The competition of the automobile industry has already gone abroad, mainly fighting for the automobile market share in the world between the transnational automobile groups. Japanese auto industry studied and absorbed product development and mature technology of U. S. A product with the help of U.S. A., according to the personal needs Digested it while introducing technology further, and formed the ability to develop independently, established own system of an intact auto industry. The Chinese auto industry has made considerable progress going through from scratch, from small to large. However, China Still lag greatly behind the advanced level of the auto industry of developed country and has a lot of questions in some respects such as product variety, craft, quality, output, monitor and testing.The oil crisis has provided the good chance of the world integrating for Japanese auto industry. In the course of trying to find out new competition strategic, enterprise comprehensive capability become the key to success or failure. The auto industry must implement "concentrating strategy" . The main automakers of America and Europe have resumed their competitiveness gradually through enterprise' s own restructuring after going through economic recession. However, The Japanese automobile market has been already unable to resume the scale in the period of the bubble economy, causing the problem of idle equipment. "Nissan Revival Plan" has the goal that is intensive production by closing factory and cutting down employee in order to lighten the burden of the main departments and reduce the management scale of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. At the end of the 1990s, the auto industry restructuring accelerated all over the word. The characteristic of the Japanese auto industry is based on close relation on the structure of automaker and parts manufacturer which Formed the unique production system of Japanese auto industry. Module productionstrengthen the tendency to select upper parts manufacturers, promote cooperation between module manufacturers and other processing manufacturers and require the module manufacturers to participate in the research and development of the new-type automobile, enhance development and management functions, shorten the period of researching and developing so that they can adapt to producing globalization. The boundary of the Japanese production system comes to the surface because of the gospel of efficiency and harsh condition of work. Because the workforce was insufficient at the beginning of the 1990s, Japanese automaker installed the automation equipment, which ended in failure.The course of the auto industry in China can roughly be divided into three historical stages, which are establishment, growing and development. Chinese automakers are improving their own production technology and managerial skill fast, promoting the development of the national auto industry in all ways and integrating with the world by introducing the foreign advanced technology and experience of management. Product structures of auto industry have already taken place the great change, tending to reach perfection constantly. Chinese auto industry' s main problems are small scale, low industry concentration, backward produce technique and lack the ability to develop independently. Automobile market is very unripe, because the government supervises are not proper, insufficient capital in the input of R&D, too dispersed in the investment and lack qualified personnel etc. So Chinese auto industry does not possess the international competitiveness now. It must implement technological innovation, system innovation and organizational innovation to develop itself. Chinese auto industry can refer Japanese auto industry from following respects: (1) Japanese government protects and supports the national auto industry; (2) Japanese auto industry occupies the overseas market actively; (3) Japanese auto industry adopts advanced production technology, wins absolute predominance by high-...
