A new study of how Asian Pacific organizations and private
enterprises are expanding into markets beyond their national bases
by transforming themselves in multinational and transnational
directions. It shows how multicultural relations are fundamental to
such shifts. It explains the organizational processes that
characterize economic restructuring and the transgression of state
borders by organizations seeking economic opportunities. It shows
how these ambitions require boundaries to be overcome both inside
and outside of organizations. This study also details the trend
towards fluidity and complexity of boundaries - both physical and
symbolic - within and without of organizations due to the speeding
up of key processes. This, however, does not imply that boundaries
are disappearing. Organizational change always challenges
identities and sets new targets for this very identification.
Mergers, acquisitions and strategic alliances all generate new
organizational forms and necessitate the redefinition and
renegotiation of organizational boundaries. The manifold ways in
which organizational boundaries are affected by economic
restructuring and at the same time affect social processes within
and between organizations, in particular in the context of the
booming economies of the Asia Pacific area is the focus of this
volume. This book was previously published as a special issue of
the Asian Pacific Business Review.
