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.

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.

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.

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.

This study examines the role of top management team (TMT) member succession in breaking organizational inertia. We compare
the impact of two types of change in TMTs—in member number and demographic heterogeneity—on subsequent strategic reorientation
using data on the diversification activities of firms in the Japanese textile industry. Our findings suggest that executive
succession does not trigger strategic change unless succession entails change in the values and interests of executives embedded
in their demographic traits.

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.

Self-confidence does not come isolated from the environment 总被引:6,自引:6,他引:0
Kevin Au 《Asia Pacific Journal of Management》2007,24(4):491-496
A smart way to build confidence is to gain the most success within the constraints of the environment. Trying things that
the infrastructures fail to support may bring more frustration than confidence. Out of this consideration, Asian researchers
might have concentrated on “original equipment manufacturing” type of research—exporting their research to the larger, Western
market—in the past due to limited resources and colonial governance. However, with the change in environment, Asian researchers
have to undo their old beliefs and participate in building infrastructures that facilitate original and advanced research
in management.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Managers’ conflict management styles and employee attitudinal outcomes: The mediating role of trust 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
This study examines the mediating effects of trust on the relationships between manager’s conflict management styles (CMS)
and employee attitudinal outcomes, as well as identifies the potential deviations in the areas of CMS and trust from the west
in Chinese culture. One hundred sixty-nine employees in Guangzhou of China participated. As predicted, Integrating CMS of
managers is found significantly correlated to trust and subordinates’ job satisfaction and turnover intention. Trust fully
mediates the link between Integrating CMS and subordinates attitudinal outcomes. Results also support the expectations concerning
the deviations on the impacts of the uncooperative CMS on subordinates under Chinese culture. Discussion and implications
are presented.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

An assessment of alternative empirical measures of cultural distance: Evidence from the Republic of Korea 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This study assesses the relative merits of alternative cultural frameworks as the basis to construct indices of cultural distance
using the one introduced by Kogut and Singh (1988). We assess not only Hofstede (1980, 1991) but also the more recent Schwartz
(1994, 2003) and GLOBE (2004) frameworks. Using primary data collected through a questionnaire survey of 228 foreign manufacturing
firms in the Republic of Korea, we find consistently across the three different frameworks that cultural distance has a positive
association with full ownership. These results support not only the robustness of Kogut and Singh’s method to construct an
index of cultural distance but also the consistency of the alternative indices of cultural distance used to explain ownership
mode decisions by MNEs.

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.
