Notes

¹ As the articles have made copious reference to literature from the fields of organization, management and cultural anthropology, some references from the humanities are offered here. In addition, the bibliographies in each of the following works should suffice as an introduction to the current writing in the related specialization. From archaeology, see Stark, M.T. and Jane Allen, S. (1998), ‘The transition to history in Southeast Asia: an introduction’, International Journal of Historical Archaeology, Vol.2, No.3, pp.163–74. An example from world history is Bentley, J.H. (1996), ‘Cross-cultural interaction and periodization in world history’, American Historical Review, Vol.101, No.3, pp.749–70. From Southeast Asian history, see Sutherland, H. (2003), ‘Southeast Asian history and the Mediterranean analogy’, Journal of Southeast Asian Studies, Vol.34, No.1, pp.1–20. From business history, the following work by Cochran, S. (2000), Encountering Chinese Networks. Western, Japanese and Chinese Corporations in China, 1880–1937. Berkeley: University of California Press, looks into the encounter between foreign versus local business practices.
