Sea-Jin Chang 《Asia Pacific Journal of Management》2006,23(4):407-417
Business groups played an important role in the economic development of East Asian countries. Yet business groups in East
Asia face an uncertain future. Following the Asian Crisis, foreign creditors and investors have demanded that business groups
have more transparent operations and stronger corporate governance. At the same time, as governments in East Asia have loosened
trade barriers, business groups have become subject to intense competition in domestic markets. This paper argues that business
groups can survive or even prosper by taking initiatives in corporate restructuring. This paper also highlights some areas
for further research on business groups in this region.

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.

Change and Continuity in Southeast Asian Ethnic Chinese Business 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
H. W. C. Yeung 《Asia Pacific Journal of Management》2006,23(3):229-254
The 1997/1998 Asian economic crisis has fundamentally reshaped the economic organization of ethnic Chinese business in Southeast Asia. In this paper, I outline some of the most significant contextual changes that impinge on Southeast Asian ethnic Chinese business in recent years, in particular the changing political-economic alliances in Southeast Asia, the interpenetration of globalization processes and the rise of mainland China as a significant player in the global economy. I argue that these changes have led to a more globalizing orientation of ethnic Chinese business in Southeast Asia. In making this case for globalizing ethnic Chinese business in Southeast Asia, I am concurrently aware of the continual existence and discursive reconstitution of some distinctive elements of ethnic Chinese capitalism. This continuity in ethnic Chinese capitalism points to its growing hybridization–a transformative process in which traditional and new elements are continuously morphed and recombined into something that resembles neither ethnic Chinese capitalism as we knew it nor global capitalism. Instead, a hybrid form of ethnic Chinese capitalism emerges as a distinctive feature in today's Southeast Asian business landscape.

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.

Asian contexts and the search for general theory in management research: A rejoinder 总被引:6,自引:5,他引:1
Klaus E. Meyer 《Asia Pacific Journal of Management》2007,24(4):527-534
“Asian Management Research Needs More Self-confidence” (Meyer, 2006) generated a surprisingly extended and diverse set of
responses from Asia and beyond. In this rejoinder, I draw together a few lines of arguments that have emerged in that debate
with the aim of moving the debate—and thus Asian management research agendas—forward. In particular, I argue that context
is a crucial variable to explain management behavior, yet for practical reasons, it has been neglected in research published
in top journals. Thus, I challenge management scholars in Asia and beyond to devise new research strategies to enhance our
understanding of the contextual boundaries of our knowledge.

Venture capital in China: A view from Europe 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Mike Wright 《Asia Pacific Journal of Management》2007,24(3):269-281
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.

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.

Change and continuity in Japanese corporate governance 总被引:7,自引:5,他引:2
Previous studies on Japanese corporate governance were largely based on the agency theory framework, and can be seen as attempts
to understand the unique monitoring mechanisms in the Japanese context. This paper briefly reviews prior research and then
discusses the recent changes in the environment that have been affecting Japanese corporate governance. Our central argument
is that there is both change and continuity in Japanese Corporate Governance. We also present emerging research from an institutional
theory perspective. In this line of research, corporate governance is treated as part of a nation’s institutional framework
and hence, researchers need to understand unique institutional arrangements that affect corporate governance practices and
their change or continuity.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Extending the “P” perspective: An institutional account of management research in Australia 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Yue Wang 《Asia Pacific Journal of Management》2009,26(2):353-360
In commenting Meyer’s article “Asian management research needs more self-confidence” in APJM (2006), Yang and Terjesen (Asia Pacific Journal of Management, 24(4):497–507, 2007) described ground realities in Australia that may have inhibited the development of a robust management
research community. As an Australia-trained and Australia-based Asian management scholar, I extend the “P” perspective by
exploring how the formal and informal institutions interact in shaping Australia-based scholars’ publication strategies and
research performance. Reflecting on my experience in Australia, I argue that like in any other businesses, institutions matter
in our business of research and publication. They matter because they can shape the local “rule of the game” within which
a country’s or a region’s scholars conduct and publish their research. A full institutional account of the current state of
management research in the Asia Pacific region requires a deeper understanding of both formal and informal local institutions.
From such an institutional perspective, this commentary concentrates on why Australian management research lags behind that
in the US and Europe and yet leads the Asia Pacific region.

This study examines the dynamic relationships between product and international diversification, keiretsu financing, and economic
performance of the listed firms in Japan’s textile industry. Panel data analysis shows that the performance effects of those
strategic factors are contingent on macroeconomic environments, rather than showing consistent relationships. The potentially
positive or negative effects of particular diversification strategies and keiretsu financing are neutralized in the munificent
environments, as exogenous macroeconomic factors overwhelm endogenous decision-making by the management. In the scarce setting,
by contrast, it is those strategic factors that influence financial outcomes. Keiretsu financing moderates the relationship
between international diversification strategy and profitability positively only during times of economic scarcity.

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.

Research rankings of Asia Pacific business schools: Global versus local knowledge strategies 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
Despite the increasing recognition of the importance of the research mission of universities, no previous work has investigated
the research productivity and research strategies of Asia Pacific business schools. This article fills this important gap
by conducting the first study to rank the publication productivity of 130 Asia Pacific business schools. Drawing on data from
the UTD Top 100 Business School Research Rankings™ and several additional sources, we rank Asia Pacific business schools’
research productivity in three areas: (1) twenty-four leading business journals, (2) seven top management journals, and (3)
five Asia Pacific management journals. We also extend this analysis by documenting the distinct publishing strategies of various
Asia Pacific business schools—global, local, or both.

This paper examines the structures of capitalism in Southeast Asia. Following the lead of Gordon Redding and others, it argues
that parallel to varieties of capitalism elsewhere, there are distinctive features to the Southeast Asian business system,
but that institutions play a relatively large role compared to firm specific resources or industry structures. Historically,
with the exception of Thailand all the countries in the region are former colonies. All including Thailand share a distinctive
style of nationalism, and partly as a result of this, all are governed by states that claim to be strong and lay wide claims
but whose capacities are low. Typical features of the region, particularly the roles of large business groups and the Chinese
minority, also can be interpreted as a result of this history. One of the outcomes of the analysis is an extension of the
varieties of capitalism approach along the dimensions of state capacity and state direction, and of the approach to the internationalizing
firm along the dimensions of dynamic capacity and control of subsidiaries. A further outcome is a questioning of the traditional
picture of indigenous Southeast Asian business people as lacking in entrepreneurial skills, or more broadly of Southeast Asian
nations as lacking in entrepreneurial values. Rather, the past history of these countries has resulted in a set of structures
that militate against successful entrepreneurial activity.

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 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.
