Much of the existing literature within the "varieties of
capitalism" (VOC) and "comparative business systems" fields of
research is heavily focused on Europe, Japan, and the Anglo-Saxon
nations. As a result, the field has yet to produce a detailed
empirical picture of the institutional structures of most Asian
nations and to explore to what extent existing theory applies to
the Asian context. The Oxford Handbook of Asian Business Systems
aims to address this imbalance by exploring the shape and
consequences of institutional variations across the political
economies of different societies within Asia. Drawing on the deep
knowledge of 31 leading experts, this book presents an empirical,
comparative institutional analysis of 13 major Asian business
systems between India and Japan. To aid comparison, each country
chapter follows the same consistent outline. Complementing the
country chapters are eleven contributions examining major themes
across the region in comparative perspective and linking the
empirical picture to existing theory on these themes. A further
three chapters provide perspectives on the influence of history and
institutional change. The concluding chapters spell out the
implications of all these chapters for scholars in the field and
for business practitioners in Asia. The Handbook is a major
reference work for scholars researching the causes of success and
failure in international business in Asia.

Economic crisis tends to spur change in the 'rules of the game' -
the 'institutions' - that govern the economic activity of firms and
employees. But after more than a decade of economic pain following
the burst of the Japanese Bubble Economy of the 1980s, the core
institutions of Japanese capitalism have changed remarkably little.
In this systematic and holistic assessment of continuity and change
in the central components of Japanese capitalism, Michael A. Witt
links this relatively slow rate of institutional change to a
confluence of two factors: high levels of societal co-ordination in
the Japanese political economy, and low levels of deviant behavior
at the level of individuals, firms, and organizations. He
identifies social networks permeating Japanese business as a key
enabler of societal co-ordination and an obstacle to deviancy, and
sheds light on a pervasive but previously under explored type of
business networks, intra-industry loops. Includes a Foreword by
Gordon Redding.
Much has been said about the re-emergence of China to its
historical position of eminence in the world economy, yet little is
understood about the kind of economic system China is evolving.
What are the rules of the game of business in today's China, and
how are they likely to change over the next decades? The answers to
these questions are crucial to business persons formulating
strategy toward China, but also for policy-makers concerned with
retaining the competitiveness of their nations in the face of
Chinese competition and for researchers seeking to gain deeper
insights into the workings of economic systems and institutional
change.
Written by two leading experts in the field, this book sheds
much-needed light on these questions. Building on recent conceptual
and empirical advances, and rich in concrete examples, it offers a
comprehensive and systematic exploration of present-day Chinese
capitalism, its component parts, and their interdependencies. It
suggests that Chinese capitalism, as practiced today, in many
respects represents a development from traditional business
practices, whose revival has been greatly aided by the influx of
investments and managerial talent from the Regional Ethnic Chinese.
On the basis of present trends in the Chinese economy as well as
through comparison with five major types of capitalism-those of
France, Germany, Japan, Korea, and the United States-the book
derives a prediction of the probable development paths of Chinese
capitalism and its likely competitive strengths and weaknesses.
