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.

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.

This article reviews major theoretical and empirical work on vertical and horizontal Japanese keiretsu. We first outline the history, characteristics, and strategic and performance implications of each type of business group.
We then discuss changes in the Japanese economy during the post-1992 Japanese economic decline and their implications for
the persistence and continued benefits of each form of inter-corporate grouping followed by a discussion of empirical findings
regarding the continued role of keiretsu in the Japanese economy. The review concludes by exploring areas of future research into the evolution of keiretsu ties and their implications.

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.

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.

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.

Managerial ties, control and deregulation: An investigation of business groups entering the deregulated banking industry in Taiwan 总被引:9,自引:7,他引:2
Hsi-Mei Chung 《Asia Pacific Journal of Management》2006,23(4):505-520
This study investigates the determinants of business groups’ entry to the deregulated banking industry in Taiwan, from the
perspectives of social capital and agency theory. The principal objective of deregulation is to increase the efficiency of
resource utilization by introducing competition. However, the opportunities inherent in deregulation may induce a battle of
strengths among interested business groups. Based on secondary data analysis, this study reveals that the managerial ties
possessed by key individuals in a business group, and the degree of overlapping investment between the owner-managers, influences
the likelihood of whether or not a business group will decide to enter the deregulated banking industry. The results of this
study provide a valuable starting point from which to discuss the influence of internal and external personal networks on
business strategy during a time of deregulation.

The effects of emotional intelligence on job performance and life satisfaction for the research and development scientists in China 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Kenneth S. Law Chi-Sum Wong Guo-Hua Huang Xiaoxuan Li 《Asia Pacific Journal of Management》2008,25(1):51-69
To demonstrate the utility of the emotional intelligence (EI) construct in organizational studies, this study focuses on the
effect of EI on job performance among research and development scientists in China. We argue that EI is a significant predictor
of job performance beyond the effect of the General Mental Ability (GMA) battery on performance. This predictor effect is
supported by results on a study of research and development scientists working for a large computer company in China. Our
results also show that a self-reported EI scale developed for Chinese respondents, the WLEIS, is a better predictor of job
performance than the scale developed in the U.S., the MSCEIT. Implications of the findings are discussed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Business groups and their types 总被引:8,自引:6,他引:2
Alvaro Cuervo-Cazurra 《Asia Pacific Journal of Management》2006,23(4):419-437
We clarify what business groups are and analyze their various types. We first distinguish business groups from other types
of firm networks based on the strategic relationships among companies; business groups are defined as those networks that
exhibit unrelated diversification under common ownership. We then separate business groups into three types based on their
ownership: family-owned, widely-held, and state-owned. We argue that each type has different agency costs and diversification
logics. As a result of these differences, their performance varies, with family-owned business groups outperforming widely-held
ones, and these in turn outperforming state-owned business groups.

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.

This study extended recent attempts to build a conceptual framework for the study of organizational influence behaviors. A
hundred and four Hong Kong managers rated the perceived effectiveness of 16 influence tactics in six scenarios, covering three
directions of influence—upward, downward, and lateral. Results consistently generated a two-dimensional model of basic strategies—the
more nurturing, conformity-inducing Gentle Persuasion (GP); and the more agentic, compliance-pressuring Contingent Control
(CC). A three-way interaction among these two strategies, the three influence directions, and gender was found, and the relationships
between the perceived effectiveness of these strategies and the managers’ social beliefs explored.

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.

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.
