Description:
Drawing upon extensive field research in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, this book focuses on networks of business and personal relationships as a key means of transnational operations. The book highlights the role of Chinese business networks in facilitating the emergence of transnational corporations from an Asian newly industrialised economy - Hong Kong. It is a timely theoretical and empirical contribution to the recent debate on the nature and operations of 'bamboo networks' within the global economy and their role in the rapid economic growth and regional integration among Asia-Pacific economies. |
Quotes:
This book, written before the Asian financial turmoil, has nonetheless broken new ground for further studies of some of the fascinating issues related to network-based globalization in one of the most dynamic and volatile economic regions of the world. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in globalization in general and Chinese multinationals in particular.' :I Environment and Planning, Vol 31, 1999 |
