TY - JOUR AU - Pangarkar, Nitin AB - ASIA PACIFIC JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT, VOL. 15, 109-l 18 (199X) The Asian multinational corporation: Strategies, performance and key challenges BACKGROUND In February 1997, the Asia Pacific Journal of Management hosted a conference on the Asian Multinational Corporation. The response to the earlier call for papers was impressive with more than 35 submissions. A group of papers, selected by the Editorial Board of APJM, was included in the conference program. Scholars from as many as 12 different countries and 21 different institutions presented a total of 29 papers at the conference. The fact that several authors were from developed Western countries attested to the tremendous interest in the topic, not only in Asia, but all over the world. Scholars represented a variety of academic disciplines such as stra- tegic management, economics, geography, decision sciences, and human resource management, among others. The papers presented focused on a wide array of Asian countries including Japan, South Korea, China, India, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Singapore. While two papers in the conference, and one in this special issue studied Japanese multinationals, the rest focused on non-Japanese Asian multinationals. Throughout the remainder of this paper, the term non-Japanese is implied but not mentioned explicitly to TI - The Asian Multinational Corporation: Strategies, Performance and Key Challenges JF - Asia Pacific Journal of Management DO - 10.1023/A:1015425228856 DA - 2004-10-02 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/the-asian-multinational-corporation-strategies-performance-and-key-aZsDSlUSyp SP - 109 EP - 118 VL - 15 IS - 2 DP - DeepDyve ER -
