Multinational Corporations and the Emerging Network Economy in
Asia and the Pacific delves into the ongoing rise of a global
economy anchored in a web of inter-firm production networks and the
role played by multinational corporations in the process. It
considers the strategies and business models corporations have
adopted lately to face today's highly competitive global markets,
especially outsourcing and offshoring, focusing on the modalities
observed in Asia Pacific and the Pacific Rim at large.
Since their inception, corporations have undergone a series of
fundamental changes; each has corresponded to a given era of
industrial development and has given rise to a particular type of
government policy response. The book addresses these timely issues
and other such as the transformation of global production networks
into global innovation networks, the link between corporate and
national innovation strategies and movement up the global
production value chain, and the fragmentation of production and the
resulting increase in component and sub-assembly trade in the
region. It also takes up the emergence of multinational
corporations from developing countries and the efforts aimed at
forging basic rules of corporate social responsibility and
developing sound institutions for building a working framework of
corporate governance in the Pacific.
Written by some of the region's most eminent and influential
economists and political scientists, this volume will appeal to
students and scholars working in the field of Asia Pacific studies
as well as to businesspersons and policymakers taking decisions in
the region.
