In this study, the Design Collaboration Model (DCM) was developed to provide a medium for the on-line collaboration of the
design courses. The model was based on the situated and reflective practice characteristics of the design process. The segmentation
method was used to analyse the design process observed both in the design diaries and the redline files that were composed
of the problem domain and the design strategies. In the problem domain, it was observed that high emphasis was given to the
design abstractions in the level of details of a space or sub-space. Also, the critics were more interested in the solution
space than the problem space. As a design strategy, rejecting a solution was more practiced than proposing alternative solutions.
Since the performance score of the students was highly correlated to the number of segments in critiques, it is concluded
that quality rather than quantity of critiques determine the success level of proposed design solutions.

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 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.

Knowledge management and innovation strategy: The challenge for latecomers in emerging economies 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
The success of latecomer firms from the emerging economies challenges the conventional wisdom on entry timing and resource-based
competence. Building on research on institutions in emerging economies and the resource-based perspective in strategic management,
we propose a model to explain how resource poor latecomer firms in emerging economies catch up with the multinational incumbents.
We classify latecomers based on their strategic learning intent as either emulators or blind imitators. The strategic learning
intent depends on a firm’s complementary assets and its absorptive capacity. Firms that choose emulation develop flexible
routines, while firms that choose blind imitation end up with rigid routines. Over time, when there is a need for resource
renewal, firms that have flexible routines are better positioned to respond. We take the Chinese mobile phone industry as
an exemplar to illustrate the core issues in latecomer catching up of emerging economy firms.

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.

Although government withdrawal from business has traditionally been considered a key reform in developing a market economy,
the Chinese government remains active. This study uses the social psychological theory of cooperation and competition to analyze
the interdependence between government and business. Structural equation results of interviews of specific incidents collected
from 105 government officials and business people in Shanghai, China, support the model that cooperative, but not competitive
or independent, goals induce open-minded discussions that in turn strengthen their relationships, accomplish tasks, foster
confidence they will work productively in the future, and develop their industry and the marketplace.

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.

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.

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.

Assimilation into society via academic achievement is a premise and practice that is universal in schools and school systems.
Drawing on the testimonies of technological education teachers and the sociology of knowledge literature, this narrative inquiry
research sets the stage for a critical analysis of our reliance on knowledge versus experience in western education policy
and planning. A crisp and constructive analysis of the premises school systems take for granted becomes possible, a case for
transcending limited ways of thinking about knowledge and experience is made.

Contractual joint ventures (CJVs) are a major form of non-equity strategic alliance in China, employed mainly by Hong Kong
firms in the south China province of Guangdong. Due to their ambiguous legal status and the lack of conceptualisation and
of their contractual nature, there has been little empirical research on CJVs. By theorising CJVs as a relational subcontracting
arrangement and drawing on data from structured interviews with managers from both sides, this paper reveals the managerial
decisions pertaining to the formation and evolution of the CJV non-equity alliances in Guangdong.

The adolescence of Asia management research: <Emphasis Type="Italic">APJM</Emphasis>, 1997–2006 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0

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 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.

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.

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.

This article provides commentary on the analysis of venture capital in China by Ahlstrom, Bruton, and Yeh (Venture capital
in China: Past, present, and future. Asia Pacific Journal of Management, 2007). The article considers issues relating to the scope of venture capital and private equity, the nature of venture capital
and private equity organizations, the life-cycle process of VC investing, internationalization, and foreign venture capital
firms. The paper identifies areas for future research and compares the Chinese VC context with those in Western Europe and
Central and Eastern Europe.

Employee stock ownership and corporate R&D expenditures: evidence from Taiwan's information-technology industry 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This study investigates how employee stock ownership affects corporate R&D expenditures for information-technology firms listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange during 1996–2001. The empirical results indicate a positive association between implementing employee stock ownership and R&D expenditures. The evidence thus supports the argument that employee stock ownership could help alleviate agency conflicts between employees and shareholders, and reduce agency costs, in turn enabling firms to make sizable R&D expenditures.

In this paper we respond to calls for an institution-based perspective on strategy. With its emphasis upon mimetic, coercive,
and normative isomorphism, institutional theory has earned a deterministic reputation and seems an unlikely foundation on
which to construct a theory of strategy. However, a second movement in institutional theory is emerging that gives greater
emphasis to creativity and agency. We develop this approach by highlighting co-evolutionary processes that are shaping the
varieties of capitalism (VoC) in Asia. To do so, we examine the extent to which the VoC model can be fruitfully applied in
the Asian context. In the spirit of the second movement of institutional theory, we describe three processes in which firm
strategy collectively and intentionally feeds back to shape institutions: (1) filling institutional voids, (2) retarding institutional
innovation, and (3) deploying institutional escape. We outline the key contributions contained in the articles of this Special
Issue and discuss a research agenda generated by the VoC perspective.

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.
