Business and Management in South East Asia: Studies in Diversity and Dynamism

Abstract

This collection of fieldwork and research from a range of leading international authors across the business and management field is both timely and topical. The South East Asian region remains a diverse and dynamic part of the ‘greater Asia’ area and an important economic bloc. It contains a range of economies and types of firms and operating environments. However, the region has often received less academic and research interest and focus, although there have been many recent dynamic developments. This volume covers various issues, organizations and sectors in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam and will greatly contribute to the growing literature on South East Asia.

Notes

¹ We covered mainland countries rather than Cambodia, Brunei, Burma, Indonesia, Laos and the Philippines for a number of reasons. One is conceptual, they are more outside the South East Asia mainstream than the four we used; second, pragmatic, we were not able to find academic specialist contributors available there.
