Abstract: In the contexts of slowing down of advanced economies and rapid growth of emerging economies, it is crucial for firms to deploy their product development capabilities that fit to the global market reality. In particular, increasing complexity in product development requires expanding roles of IT system that supports the overall product development processes. This article presents an architecture analysis framework and IT system methods based on core competence strategy. Using this framework, we examine the concepts and implementation details of linkage competence that integrates customer competence and technology competence. This paper suggests that these architecture analysis and portfolio analysis methods are useful for product development for emerging markets.
