This research report consists of four parts. Part I is "problematic and hypothesis". This part theoretically examines the recent increase and historical formation of small and medium-sized firms and their subcontracting relations in a perspective of typology of capitalist development. It is suggested that subcontracting relations in Japan were ex-firm extensions of industrial relations in "parent" firms, which have consisted of precapitalist relations, through spinoffs primarily in the face of industrial conflicts, and that industrial relations in subcontracting firms have also consisted of precapitalist relations. This process is defined informalization. Part II is "Objects and Background". This part introduces Hitachi Administrative Division of Hitachi Ltd., which is one of research objects, and its subcontracting firms and their association. And this part analyses the formation of subcontracting relations in relation to industrial conflict of Hitachi Ltd. in 1950. As a result, the hypothesis of this research is approximately validated. Part III is "Realities and Changes". This part primarily examines recent subcontracting relations of Hitachi Administrative Division and their changes in relation to informalization by means of interviews. Part IV is "Subjects and Prospects". This part tries to formalize a typology of subcontracting relations in order to compare Hitachi with other cases. And the prospects of Hitachi district is examined.

本研究报告由四个部分组成。第一部分是“问题和假设”。这一部分从资本主义发展类型学的角度，从理论上考察了近代中小企业的增长和历史形成及其分包关系。有人认为，日本的分包关系是“母公司”中工业关系的前公司延伸，后者主要是在面对工业冲突时通过分拆而构成前资本主义关系，而分包公司中的工业关系也由前资本主义关系组成。这个过程被定义为信息化。第二部分是“对象与背景”。本部分介绍了研究对象之一日立公司的日立行政部门及其分包企业及其关联。并结合1950年日立公司的劳资冲突，分析了转包关系的形成。因此，本研究的假设大致得到了验证。第三部分是“现实与变化”。本部分主要通过访谈的方式来考察日立行政部门近期的分包关系及其与非正式化相关的变化。第四部分为“课题与展望”。这一部分试图形式化分包关系的类型学，以便将日立与其他案例进行比较。并对日立地区的发展前景进行了展望。
