This study examines how the host country experience of Japanese multinational corporations (MNCs) affects their staffing policies
for executive manager positions at foreign affiliates. Hypotheses on executive staffing policies for foreign affiliates are
tested using survey data collected from 103 Japanese affiliates in Korea. Findings show that the level of global integration
and the degree of centralization of decision-making positively affect an assignment of parent country nationals as executive
managers of foreign affiliates. We further find that foreign affiliates’ experience in a host country moderates the effects
of both global integration and centralization on staffing decisions for the affiliates.

The adolescence of Asia management research: <Emphasis Type="Italic">APJM</Emphasis>, 1997–2006 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
Erin G. Pleggenkuhle-Miles Ramya R. Aroul Sunny Li Sun Yu-Shan Su 《Asia Pacific Journal of Management》2007,24(4):467-489
In this article we reflect on the adolescent years of Asia management research published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Management (APJM) by reviewing work published in the past 10 years (1997–2006). We report that during the last decade, APJM has published 223 research articles, written by 373 different authors, who are affiliated with 203 different institutions.
Our discussion of the future of Asia management research is guided by Kuhn’s (Kuhn, T. S. The structure of scientific revolutions. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1962) perspective on the nonlinear progression of science. We argue that as a growing
community, Asia management research is finding its “identity” and establishing its presence in the larger worldwide management
research community. Following our analysis, we conclude that the growth of Asia management research—as captured by APJM publications—throughout its “adolescent” years has set forth a challenging and exciting path for the future.

This study explores the role of knowledge management (KM) in mediating and moderating the relationship between information
technology (IT) and firm performance based upon the data collected from 236 firms in China. Through a structural equation
model and hierarchical regression analysis, we found that KM capability partially mediated the performance impact of IT resources.
Furthermore, KM capability affected the strength of the IT-performance relationship. The theoretical contributions and managerial
implications are discussed and limitations of the study are highlighted accordingly.

Knowledge management in technology-focused firms in emerging economies: Caveats on capabilities,networks, and real options 总被引:9,自引:7,他引:2
Garry D. Bruton Gregory G. Dess Jay J. Janney 《Asia Pacific Journal of Management》2007,24(2):115-130
In mature economies, technology-focused industries and the management of knowledge are widely viewed as critical to success.
Increasingly, in emerging economies technology-focused industries and the management of knowledge are also viewed as important.
To date, however, little is known about such activities in emerging economies. Particularly, it is not understood how knowledge
management can impact efforts for corporate renewal in such environments. The literatures of the resource-based view of the
firm, social capital/network theory, and real options theory are vital to providing insights for technology-focused industries
and the management of knowledge in mature economies. In this paper we focus on the caveats when applying such theoretical
foundations to emerging economies. To illustrate these issues we will draw on the largest emergent economy in the world, China.

The paper reports on the trials of a Design and Technology (D&T) unit carried out in three different Indian contexts with
a focus on collaborative learning. Both collaboration and technology education are not common to the Indian school system.
As part of a larger project to introduce technology education, suitable for middle school girls and boys in urban and rural
areas, three culturally appropriate and gender sensitive D&T units were developed. All the units were tried out with middle
school students in different socio-cultural settings: two schools in urban areas (with different languages of teaching and
learning) and one in a rural area. This paper presents details of a unit on puppetry which involved making a puppet and staging
a puppet-show. Aspects of collaboration within and among groups were observed with respect to: roles played by the members,
conflicts and their resolution, sharing of resources, communication and peer review among the students. The trials in the
three clusters indicate the potential of this D&T unit to provide collaborative learning situations for the multicultural
contexts of Indian classrooms.

This paper identifies the importance of both creativity and environmental sustainability for developing individual learners
and society as a whole. It suggests that sometimes these two concepts appear to be in tension and that, politically, each
is often championed by different communities. The relationship between creativity and environmental sustainability is explored
in three separate contexts: in a design and technology schools context where teenage learners are being facilitated to develop
creative responses within design briefs that include environmental considerations; through interviewing student teachers who
have undertaken an ecodesign project; and through interviews with professional ecodesign practitioners. The tensions, compromises
and contradictions evident where there is limited experience of environmental issues is contrasted with the level of optimisation
and creativity engaged when designers have more maturity in this area. Finally, some suggestions are made for taking forward
creativity and environmental sustainability in technology education through an ecodesign capability approach.

Future research on human resource management systems in Asia 总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0
Re-emphasizing the need to examine human resource management (HRM) in context, this article builds around four themes. First,
it analyses the main issues discussed in the existing literature regarding HRM in the Asian context. Second, it highlights
the critical challenges facing HRM function in the region. Third, along with the analysis, it presents an agenda for future
research. Fourth, it presents a framework useful for highlighting the context specific nature of Asian HRM functions and the
main determinants of HRM policies and practices from a cross-national comparative perspective.

The influence of firm,industry and network on the corporate social performance of Japanese firms 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
K. C. O’Shaughnessy Eric Gedajlovic Patrick Reinmoeller 《Asia Pacific Journal of Management》2007,24(3):283-303
We develop and test the thesis that corporate social performance (CSP) constitutes a socially constructed and shared strategic asset, which is not only influenced by factors specific to a firm, but also by the social performance of firms
in its industry and inter-corporate network. Using variance decomposition, we analyze data from 130 large Japanese firms and
find that both firm-specific and industry-level factors account for significant variance in CSP, but network-level factors
do not.

How does strategic orientation matter in Chinese firms? 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
As China continues to transition toward a market economy, how strategic orientation affects firm performance has received
significant attention. This article reviews the extant literature with a framework that depicts contemporary work on strategic
orientation, the drivers of strategic orientation, and its boundary conditions. We identify important research gaps and propose
to integrate institutional theory, dynamic capability perspective, and the knowledge-based view within the strategic orientation
research stream for future investigations.

This study examines the influence of economic and political factors that contribute to the convergence and/or divergence in
value priorities of five East Asian societies—China, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. We find that political
and social-economic factors influence the values orientations of managers within this region. However, economic development
level is an insufficient explanation for values convergence without consideration of the societal context and cultural traditions
in which that development occurred.

This article addresses how we learn technology across the lifespan. After outlining findings of research into how children,
adolescents, teens and adults learn technology, we address theoretical shifts from sociocultural to technocultural theories
of cognition and reorientations from mediated to cyborgenic learning. The balance of the article describes effective methods
for researching cognition and technology. In the process of outlining key findings from research, we emphasize the links among
methods and theories employed, data produced and conclusions drawn. Our goal is to sketch a lifelong learning context for
undertaking studies of cognition and technology, and to provide a methodological and theoretical analysis for researchers
venturing into this dynamic and volatile field. In summary, we provide a far-ranging agenda for researching cognition and
technology.

Evidence of the practical utility of Wong’s emotional intelligence scale in Hong Kong and mainland China 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Emotional intelligence (EI) has been an emerging topic for psychological, educational, and management researchers and consultants
in recent years. However, there is a lack of scientifically valid measures of this concept, especially for those that have
practical utility in the Asian context. Recently, a 40-item forced-choice instrument was developed for Chinese respondents
in Hong Kong. We collected data in three studies to further test the practical utility of this instrument in Hong Kong and
mainland China. The results provided clear evidence for the instrument’s practical utility. More research that uses this measure
in Asian countries is required.

Familial capitalism in global institutional contexts: Implications for corporate governance and entrepreneurship in East Asia 总被引:5,自引:3,他引:2
Lloyd P. Steier 《Asia Pacific Journal of Management》2009,26(3):513-535
Many of the world’s firms have a familial dimension; including some of the most dynamic and emerging markets of East Asia.
However, this important aspect of organizing economic activity remains understudied and misunderstood. A central theme of
this article is that while families matter in economic activity throughout the world, they matter in different ways depending
on the institutional context. To illustrate this theme a varieties of capitalism perspective is used to develop a rudimentary
global comparative framework. Institutional context is portrayed as a key determinant of the degree and type of family governance
that typify national economies. Implications for corporate governance and entrepreneurship in East Asia are discussed.

In the context of recent debates on technological literacy, a renewed research effort has focused on the nature of technologies.
The aim of this work, which considers ’epistemological knowledge’ as viewpoints which spring into gear in a given situation,
is to use questionnaires and interviews to identify the opinions of teachers in a training institute for master technicians
in Tunisia on technologies. The objective was to try and define how these teachers perceive the relations between sciences,
technologies and societies and how social and cultural aspects affect their discourse on technologies.
The results of the questionnaires and the analysis of their discourses indicate that teachers essentially perceive technology
as an applied science for which the ultimate purpose is progress and consumption. The relations identified by teachers between
technologies, sciences and societies, reveal dichotomies between science and technology both with respect to the status teachers
attribute to knowledge and to their views on its teaching.

Meyer (2006) has offered an interesting array of initiatives that scholars in Asia can pursue in enhancing their contribution
to the body of management knowledge. While the objective of his agenda seems timely and relevant, it raises some fundamental
questions that encompass issues such as the scope of research questions that Asian researchers could pursue, the debate over
rigor versus relevance, and the role of established top tier journals in furthering the Asian management research agenda.
This paper discusses some of these issues in the spirit of fostering a continued dialog on the important questions that Meyer
raises.

Managerial ties,absorptive capacity,and innovation 总被引:12,自引:5,他引:7
Managerial ties—the boundary-spanning ties and interpersonal connections of top managers—contribute to a corporation’s innovativeness
in emerging economies because of the absence of market supporting institutions, transparent laws, and clear regulations. Moreover,
managerial ties are apt to interact with absorptive capacity to facilitate knowledge sharing and innovation. This paper examines
the joint influence of managerial ties and absorptive capacity in two communities in China, one characterized by a high level
of foreign direct investment (FDI) and the other consisting mainly of local corporations. We find that absorptive capacity
moderates the effect of managerial ties on a corporation’s innovativeness. Furthermore, when examining the two communities
separately, we find that business ties and university ties have opposite effects.

Knowledge sharing has been the focus of research for more than a decade and it is widely recognized that it can contribute
to the success of an organisation. However, in comparison with other countries, relatively little work on this topic has been
done in the Chinese context. Knowledge sharing is particularly interesting to study in the Chinese context at the individual
level, given the unique social and cultural characteristics of this environment. In this paper, we develop a theoretical model
to explain how personal factors would affect people’s intention to share their knowledge. The Theory of Reasoned Action and
Social Exchange Theory are used in this paper, as are the time dimension of national culture, face, and guanxi. A survey methodology is used to test the model. Face and guanxi orientation both exert a significant effect on the intention to share knowledge. Theoretical and practical implications,
as well as directions for future research, are discussed.

Recent years have witnessed the surging of Chinese manufacturers, as China has become the world’s factory floor. This paper
presents a case study of one of the most successful manufacturers in China, the Galanz Group, now the world’s largest microwave
manufacturer. Based on theories of multinational corporations from emerging economies, the paper examines the process of Galanz’s
integration into the global market. The company has developed unique competitive strategies that have made it a great success
within China and in overseas markets. The Galanz model suggests strong strategic implications for both Chinese firms and incumbent
multinational corporations.

In this conceptual article we present a critical analysis of close guanxi, i.e., close personal connections, in terms of their negative externalities on organizations. We adopt a social dilemma perspective
and examine how close guanxi parties, while cooperative toward each other, may nevertheless defect against the organization, causing negative externalities.
We contend that relationalism exacerbates such negative effects of close guanxi and propose various institutional mechanisms and individual variables that can reduce them. Finally, we discuss research
and practical implications of solving social dilemmas of close guanxi in Chinese organizations and strong ties in Western organizations.
