Many products in communication industry and electronics industry can be recognized as a system, and product system is manufactured by business system that include customer, supplier, sales department, and service department I am interested in pursuing what kind of relationship does exit between product system and business system. For example, is there correlation between them? As a first step, I try to build an analytical framework for the relationship through literature review. Next we execute questioner survey for the engineers of three kind of product system that has different architecture and finally conduct discriminate analysis. The result seems to imply the existence of correlation between product system and business system.
