The conflicting views about the impact of organizational slack on firm performance call for more powerful theoretic lens to
explore this link. This study finds that institutional theory is insightful to add a deeper and finer-grained understanding
on what is behind the relationship between organizational slack and firm performance during institutional transitions. As
a replication with extension of the research of Tan and Peng (Strategic Management Journal, 24: 1249–1263, 2003), this study not only replicates the impact of organizational slack on firm performance in a broader and more recent context,
but also extends previous work by advocating and enriching the impact of institutional transitions on this link. Using a large
sample of Chinese listed firms, we find that unabsorbed slack is critical for firms to sustain their competitive advantages.
Further, such a positive impact is especially likely to be profound for firms confronting resource scarcity and environmental
dynamism caused by institutional transitions.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Impact of state ownership and control mechanisms on the performance of group affiliated companies in China 总被引:10,自引:8,他引:2
This paper examines the moderating impact of state ownership and group control mechanisms on the relationship between diversification
and performance of companies affiliated with large business groups in China. We find that the state ownership has enhanced
the performance of group affiliated companies when they adopted higher degrees of diversification. We also find that cash
flow rights have a positive impact on the performance of companies with lower degrees of diversification while in general
group control rights have a negative impact on the performance. These results suggest that a group’s control mechanisms, derived
from pyramid ownership structures, enable the dominant owners to expropriate the value from minority shareholders or tunnel
corporate resources for their own interest.
