To date, the innovative aspects of K-pop have been largely neglected by business scholarship, in part due to the inadequacies of the existing theories to capture the dynamic nature of its development. To fill this gap, M-ies model is devised. It posits that innovators (i) were critical in creating a sustained level of innovative momentum (M), as they implemented strategies (s) to respond to the external environment (e). Using the M-ies model, we also explain how an intriguing parallel can be drawn between a seemingly unlikely pair, the K-pop and the semiconductor industry. In so doing, we point to the significance of producer-innovators, and how private sector – in particular, SM Entertainment as the first mover – was the main agent of creative destruction.KEYWORDS: K-pop industryinnovationcatch-upcreative destructionM-ies modelSouth Korea Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsJangwoo LeeJangwoo Lee is the Director of Success Economy Institute, an Emeritus Professor of Management at Kyungpook National University, the current President of World Cultural Industry Forum (WCIF), and the vice president of the Korean Federation of Science & Technology Societies.

This article includes 49 studies with 76,437 firm-level samples and 32 studies with 99,621 individual-level samples, we find that at both firm and individual level, the positive impact of adhocracy culture on performance is strongest, and hierarchy culture has the weakest impact, we also uncover that clan culture has the stronger impact on performance at the individual level; while adhocracy culture and market culture have the stronger impact on performance at the firm level.

Embracing cultural diversity within an organization provides a number of benefits, such as enhanced creativity and a comprehensive understanding of customer information, which all contribute to effective decision making in response to market dynamics. This article examines a case study of BTS, a South Korean pop band, and its efforts to promote cultural diversity. BTS is the first Asian act to win the top honour at the American Music Awards. The band accumulated six No. 1s on the Billboard Hot 100 in just over a year, an accomplishment achieved only by The Beatles in the 1960s. On its path to success, BTS cultivated a committed fan following, the ARMY (Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth), which has expanded from its humble beginnings to an influential organization with members of various cultural backgrounds. The article focuses on how BTS and its culturally-diverse fan base have co-created value by generating content and distributing it to a broad network, augmenting the band’s awareness and its brand equity. The article provides implications for diversity as not only a good cause but also a practice that can improve an organization’s financial success by fostering a virtuous cycle of mutual benefit between the organization and its customers.","PeriodicalId":47156,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Business Review","volume":"202 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75638261","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}

However, there are few relevant studies on the development and inheritance of family businesses. This paper has taken China’s listed family businesses from 2007 to 2020 as a sample in order to explore how investment in innovation affects international entrepreneurial performances. The study found that family businesses with high investments in innovation had lower international entrepreneurial performances. When family businesses are inherited by the firstborn or managed by multiple generations, the degree of this negative impact will increase, while heirs with overseas work experience will reduce the negative impact. The gender and overseas educational experience of the heirs will not have an impact on the negative relationship. These findings emphasize the heterogeneous role of intergenerational succession, revise some traditional inheritance views of Chinese family businesses and reveal the important role of reasonable intergenerational succession strategies in coordinating innovation and international entrepreneurship.","PeriodicalId":47156,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Business Review","volume":"358 1","pages":"1013 - 1035"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74147270","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}
