Amid the re-building, innovation and entrepreneurship driven by digital technologies are still considered by many as the two important pillars of the regional economic recovery. In East Asia, for example, digital technologies have proven to be effective solutions to not only the pandemic and lockdowns but to the problems of post-pandemic recoveries. This collection explores this to substantiate our hypothesis from multiple aspects. We find that open innovation is an important digital strategy for firms during the post-pandemic era. The entrepreneurial performance of digital start-ups is notably influenced by information and communication technology and artificial intelligence. Simultaneously, the development of digital ventures needs additional help from government policies and local cultural institutions. These findings enrich our understanding of innovation and entrepreneurship in East Asia especially during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":47156,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Business Review","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135841757","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}

{"title":"Family governance and strategic orientation of family firms in China: an institutional logics perspective","authors":"Qiang Liang, Xi Huang, Yuanrui Xu, Bo Wang","doi":"10.1080/13602381.2023.2256613","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13602381.2023.2256613","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTFamily firms have attracted significant attention, prompting a surge of inquiry into their strategic choices. Drawing on institutional logics theory, we view the strategic choices of family firms as the interactive outcome of the dualistic system and the institutional environment. Empirical research conducted on listed family firms in China reveals that as family control increases, these firms tend to adopt conservative strategies. However, this relationship is influenced by the institutional environment. Specifically, the positive association is strengthened as marketization progresses but weakened as religious culture intensifies. These findings shed light on how the behavioural characteristics and strategic decisions of family firms, as an integral part of Chinese culture, are shaped and influenced by regional cultural institutions. We contend that during the process of marketization transformation, it is crucial to establish an internal culture within family firms that can reconcile the contradictions of internal logics. Additionally, significant importance should be placed on adapting to and leveraging the external institutional environment.KEYWORDS: Institutional logics theoryChinese family firmsstrategic orientationmarketizationtraditional culture Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China [No. 71972119; No.72272090], Provincial major research projects in Guangdong universities [No.2022WCXTD006] and the STU Scientific Research Initiation Grant [No. STF22027].Notes on contributorsQiang LiangQiang Liang is a Professor at the School of Business, Shantou University.

For this research, a multilevel model analysis is conducted to examine the role of concrete and abstract narratives in music industry diffusion. The results suggest that the entry of visual technologies into pop music has increased diffusion over that enabled by acoustic technology alone. Concrete narratives moderate the link between visual technology and music industry diffusion. Together, concrete technology and narrative produce positive results compared to those of either alone. Among countries, Korea and Japan are more closely related in terms of technology and narratives than, for instance, China and Vietnam, which also differ from one another. This study provides important insights into K-Pop diffusion and sheds light on the factors that influence the music industry’s growth in the East Asian region.","PeriodicalId":47156,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Business Review","volume":"96 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75956047","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}

Previous studies have highlighted the factors in K-pop’s international success, such as its idol management system, marketing strategies, and digital distribution channels. However, to the best of our knowledge, the contributions of product adaptation and upstream music supply chains to K-pop’s international success have received little attention. To substantiate this argument, we analyse the formula setting of K-pop from the 1990s to the present and the efforts of the founders of entertainment agencies (e.g. SM, JYP, and YG) to model their success in the global market. The argument presented here theoretically contributes to international business studies and has implications for the success of intangible products in foreign markets.","PeriodicalId":47156,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Business Review","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77829626","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}

Internal control and digital transformation are different tools that increase the efficient distribution of resources. This study explores the relationship between executive political connections and financial performance. It also examines the function of internal control quality and digital transformation in terms of this relationship. We used data from Chinese A-share listed companies as a sample. The results suggest that having political connections can significantly improve financial performance and that the quality of internal control plays a partial mediating role in state-owned enterprises. Moreover, when digital transformation is taken as a moderating variable, the role of political connections or internal control in enterprise performance will be weakened. Enterprises should take full advantage of political connections and establish a high-quality internal control system. When enterprises do not have political connections, they can actively carry out digital transformation to change the situation.","PeriodicalId":47156,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Business Review","volume":"25 1","pages":"990 - 1012"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90516199","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}

By analysing data from Twitter using social network analysis (SNA) and sentiment analysis techniques, we observe that (1) OBCs naturally form transnational consumer segments, (2) where peer leadership emerges organically, and (3) women often occupy these leadership positions due to their social capital and engagement in relevant conversation topics.
