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.

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.

Creating relational rents: The effect of business groups on affiliated firms’ performance in Indonesia 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Tirta Nugraha Mursitama 《Asia Pacific Journal of Management》2006,23(4):537-557
This research attempts to extend the discussion of business groups in emerging economies by treating business groups as a
form of interorganizational network that generates relational rents among affiliated firms by creating technological and managerial capabilities. Based on the relational view, this research
investigates whether value created by business groups depends upon sharing, combining, and exchanging unique and specific
resources or assets among affiliated firms. Results show that technological capabilities contribute to create relational rents
in terms of affiliated firms’ investment in R&D and human capital. Managerial capabilities also contributed to generating
relational rents through investment in managerial knowledge acquisition for affiliated firms without R&D units and in training
for affiliated firms with R&D units. However, learning by exporting and learning from imported input do not yield relational
rents within business groups. Overall, these findings reveal that business groups as interorganizational networks are contingent
on their internal, unique, and specific capabilities, as social capital theory argues.

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.

Organizational values and procedures as antecedents for goal interdependence and collaborative effectiveness 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Organizational values of people and respect and interdependent structures of team procedures and task interdependence may
help departments believe their goals are cooperative and thereby coordinate effectively. CEOs in China completed measures
of their organization’s values and interdependent structures and their Vice-Presidents completed measures of the department’s
goal interdependence (cooperative, competitive, and independent) and collaborative effectiveness. Structural equation analysis
suggested that values and interdependent structures promote cooperative, but not competitive or independent, goals that in
turn results in collaborative effectiveness. These results, coupled with previous research, were interpreted as suggesting
that people and respect values, team procedures, task interdependence, and cooperative goals are complementary foundations
for synergy in China and perhaps other countries as well.

Location advantages and subsidiaries’ R&;D activities in emerging economies: Exploring the effect of employee mobility 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
With multinational corporations increasingly seeking subsidiaries’ specific advantages in foreign countries to develop their
innovative capabilities, internationalization of research and development has been greatly emphasized. However, in emerging
economies, managers are encountering the challenge of high employee mobility under the weak intellectual property protection
regime. This article investigates subsidiaries’ employee mobility and proposes that it negatively moderates the relationship
between location advantages and the level of subsidiaries’ R&D. This article extends R&D internationalization and enhances
current understanding of subsidiaries’ R&D activities. Further, it provides managerial implications as to how managers can
improve R&D outcome by mitigating obstacles in emerging economies.

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.

Education and training interventions can be evaluated through the success of learning outcomes. Kirkpatrick's four-level model
is a widely accepted and highly popular evaluation tool. However, some criticise the model's shortcomings. This article will
examine the extent to which the four-level model can evaluate design and technology students' learning about aesthetics after
an intervention by reporting our use of an augmented version of the four-level model. We examine the results in terms of students'
reaction to the intervention, their long-term learning and their behaviour changes by studying their visual analyses and drawings
through segment codes. We found that, in order to uncover the obscurities imbedded in aesthetics and to explicate the complexities,
we could not use the four-level-model on its own, but had to revert to a more augmented version.

Technological capabilities and firm performance: The case of small manufacturing firms in Japan 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Takehiko Isobe Shige Makino David B. Montgomery 《Asia Pacific Journal of Management》2008,25(3):413-428
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between technological capabilities and firm performance. We divide
technological capabilities into two types—refinement capability, which involves the improvement of the existing asset portfolio, and reconfiguration capability, which involves the restructuring of the asset portfolio through the integration of new assets. The results of an analysis
of a sample of 302 small and medium-sized manufacturing firms in Japan suggest that refinement capability relates more positively
to operational efficiency than does reconfiguration capability, and that reconfiguration capability relates more positively
to strategic performance than does refinement capability. The results also suggest that firms with superior refinement capability
tend to possess superior reconfiguration capability. Our findings show that both external and internal factors, such as technological
volatility, inter-firm collaboration, and firm age and size, are significantly associated with the level of refinement and
reconfiguration capabilities possessed by a firm.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
