Findings

For producers faced with the challenge of coping with the threat of low‐cost competition, co‐innovation within an integrated supplier network may be quite helpful. By working to coordinate the innovation efforts of assemblers and suppliers and also effectively implement relevant aspects of the Toyota Production System for bicycle production, Taiwan's A‐team has laid a good foundation. While some initiatives are still in the early stages, as a result of the A‐Team's work to date, A‐team membership has increased and the group has received considerable recognition both at home and abroad.

Provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations.

Originality/value
