Although previous studies have explored the multiple antecedents of NPD performance, most of them consider the effect of antecedents in isolation, neglecting their interdependence. Drawing on complexity theory, the study presents a configuration model that combines six antecedents based on the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework. The results of fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) show that digital technology application, product innovation, functional coordination, user participation, peer competition and environmental turbulence need to combine with each other in order to produce high NPD performance. The combination of product innovation, functional coordination and user participation plays an important role in NPD. The complementary effects of digital technology application, product innovation, functional coordination and user participation on NPD performance are demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":47156,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Business Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73477037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine which policies, government subsidies or preferential listing, work better for tech firms’ performance. We test whether Korean tech firms outperform control firms using key market-based performance metrics. Tech firms benefiting from Korea’s preferential listing system outperform control firms in funding, patent creation, and market capitalization but underperform in IPO-day returns. In contrast, government subsidies do not affect market performance other than six-month returns from the IPO date. These findings indicate that preferential listing policies are better than government subsidies for the market performance of tech firms.","PeriodicalId":47156,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Business Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79510174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":47156,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Business Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75462689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In tandem with the failure to receive any Grammy award by BTS even as their six songs had eventually made to the top position on the Hot 100 chart, the symbolic capital of K-pop in the US music market is all but reticent. Using the bootstrapping method based on the Process macro model for serial mediation effects, we find that the K-pop idol system (or the production system in Korea) negatively mediates the correlation between creative outsourcing and the rankings of Billboard Hot 100 and Spotify. However, signing contracts with global music labels positively mediates the same correlation. We provide implications of these findings.","PeriodicalId":47156,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Business Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80853792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
