Management in South-East Asia: key findings, conclusions and prospects

Abstract

This collection has examined management and business in a selection of countries in the South-East Asia region – Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam – and covered a variety of topics and areas. The coverage dealt with a diverse and complex range of research experiences in organizations in the four countries which were included. This set of empirical studies, we believe, significantly adds to the literature in the broad business and management areas. The key findings and conclusions of the collection are presented here, along with some pointers to the future.
