Abstract
ABSTRACT The Asia Pacific is undergoing a major transition after the pandemic. The China-centred global supply chain is now being seriously challenged by an old ‘flying geese’ model with the US and Japan in the leading position, whereas South Korea and Taiwan are asked by the leading geese to shift its reliance on China for their supply and market needs. Simultaneously, countries in Southeast Asia, notably, Thailand and Vietnam, are facing new opportunities and threats at the increasing tension between China and the US. Furthermore, the global macroeconomic indicators are faring unfavourably due to the ongoing war in Ukraine and the increasing tendency of the global stagnation. This global economic recession is heavily wreaking havoc with the Asia-Pacific that is in a constant need of low-cost supplies, new markets and a stable geopolitical milieu. Against this backdrop, this collection has gathered 17 articles written during the pandemic and post-pandemic years regarding the Asia Pacific. Grouped into countries and themes, this special issue answers some of the substantial questions regarding the future resilience of the business and management in the region.
期刊介绍:
The growth of the Asia Pacific region and the rising presence of its multinationals in world markets has raised a number of questions about the origins of national economic success. Asia Pacific Business Review addresses these key issues and draws together the lessons of the analysis of culture, economies, history, politics and societies in the area, in order to explore business-related phenomena in the Asia Pacific countries, both in their general and specific contexts. The Review is intended for both academics and interested observers, contains the contributions of recognized experts, and is essential to anyone seeking the latest research on Asia Pacific business in a readily available, approachable form. We welcome articles which deal with nations and societies in the Asia Pacific region, namely those in East Asia and South-East Asia (but not South Asia), including those in APEC and ASEAN, individually or comparatively. Of interest also are contributions on the Asia Pacific economies, comparing those inside with those outside, or those investing in it. We do not, however, publish papers based solely on countries from outside the region.
