This book clarifies the direction of business innovation using new
ICT such as the Internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence
(AI), smartphones, and cloud computing through a series of case
studies on successful trials and advanced businesses in the
Asia-Pacific where many industry sectors have been growing
successfully in the 21st century. ICT has been playing an important
role in value creation for customers and in profit generation for
providers, contributing to various service innovation and business
innovation. Now, digitalization using IoT and AI provides solutions
to address various issues in the human society, which is
transforming services and businesses in the 21st century. "What is
the direction of the business innovation using new ICT?" is a
highly concerned question for business researchers and
practitioners. Aiming to answer the question, this book conducts a
number of cases studies in the Asia-Pacific region, including the
Mainland China, Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, as well as
Australia. Among the studies, there are 4 cases from ICT providers,
4 cases from traditional and services, and 6 cases from new ICT
applications and businesses. Each case analyzes social needs and
human desires, new value created, roles of new technologies,
processes and difficulties in developing new businesses, the
relationship among customers, providers, and stakeholders, value
chain co-creation and optimization, factors of success, and
business models. Finally, the direction of business innovation with
new ICT in the Asia-Pacific is suggested by summarizing the
findings from the case studies through the lens of the theoretical
analysis in service science.
This book is dedicated to the analysis of the entrepreneurship in
successful companies by presenting and comparing a series of case
studies in the Asia-Pacific where many new companies have been
growing successfully in the 21th century. In total, 5 cases in the
manufacturing industry, 4 cases in the services industry, and 3
cases related to new business and social innovation are chosen from
The mainland of China, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, Malaysia and
Vietnam. Each case provides insight into the entrepreneur's
aspiration, the processes of personal and business developments,
the factors of success, and the inspirations drawn from the
analysis. These cases are analyzed and compared from the viewpoints
of entrepreneur's motivation, ability of foreseeing changes and
opportunities in the future business environment, core resources
and innovation, knowledge management and culture for the company,
determination and ethos. These are critical factors in value
creation for customers and the society, especially in the future
business environment. Finally, commonalities and uniquenesses in
entrepreneurship relevant to industry sectors and
social-economic-cultural contexts are clarified and a typical
entrepreneurship model in the Asia-Pacific is proposed.

This book represents one of the first attempts by a
multidisciplinary research team, encompassing the social sciences,
business, architecture and planning, engineering, and finance and
economics, to help rural communities discover sustainable and
self-reliant paths to development and transformation. The opening
chapter outlines the background of the research, its importance in
the context of China and other countries, the rationale for
choosing the case study communities in rural China, and the
composition of the research team. Chapter 2 explores key issues in
the role of social entrepreneurship and leadership in rural
community development. Chapter 3 analyses a green platform for a
pilot transaction of China forest carbon sinks led by the Huadong
Forestry Exchange. The fourth chapter examines carbon trade,
forestry land rights, and the livelihoods of farmers in rural
Chinese communities. Chapter 5 explores alternative energy
development in rural Chinese communities, where the poor are often
disproportionately dependent on fuel wood and solid biomass,
causing environmental degradation, reduced productivity and the
decline of income generating opportunities. Chapter 6 examines and
tests the proposition that stronger communities will result from
‘connected up’, holistic, synergistic and inclusive planning of
services and supporting infrastructure. Chapter 7 analyzes
information and communications technology (ICT) based service
innovations for supporting rural community enterprises. Chapter 8
highlights key elements of stronger rural communities, drawing
together the themes and proposals of preceding chapters and
constructing an integrated model. The authors demonstrate that
interconnected community enterprises based on clean forest
products, forest carbon and ecotourism can be underpinned by local
infrastructure enterprises such as renewable energy, water, waste
management, ICT and transport, and financial mechanisms like carbon
finance, all involving skills development, leadership and social
entrepreneurship coupled with corporate and investment
partnerships. Such interconnected approaches are expected to
generate increased employment and prosperity, improve social
livelihoods, and benefit the environment.
This book systematically describes the development of manufacturing
servitization in the Asia-Pacific region. It offers a practical and
theoretical reference guide to the manufacturing companies in the
Asia-Pacific region, which is now a major global manufacturing
center. Servitization is a fairly recent trend in the manufacturing
industry: some American and European manufacturing companies have
successfully transformed to service oriented manufacturing
companies over the past three decades, while Asian-Pacific region
companies have only more recently begun to recognize the importance
of servitization. But some Asia-Pacific region companies have been
exploring approaches in the same direction of servitization without
being aware of the concept. One unique aspect of this book is the
fact that it takes into consideration the social and cultural
influences of this region. It introduces companies within and
beyond the region, as well as the academic world, to the current
state of development of the Asia-pacific manufacturing industry and
its servitization trend. This is the first book that focuses on
this topic, one which is of great theoretical and practical
importance.
