Business Networks and Transnational Corporations: A Study of Hong Kong Firms in the ASEAN RegionFootnote

* I am deeply indebted to Peter Dicken for his guidance and encouragement. An earlier version of this paper was presented at the Annual Conference of the Institute of British Geographers, University of Northumbria at Newcastle, 3–6 January 1995; I would like to thank participants for their comments. Constructive comments from two anonymous referees of this journal and Richard Peet are much appreciated. Financial support from the National University of Singapore and the 1993 Postgraduate Award by the Developing Areas Research Group of the Institute of British Geographers is gratefully acknowledged. I have also benefited enormously as Visiting Associate at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, Singapore, and Visiting Scholar at the Center of Asian Studies, University of Hong Kong. All errors in this paper are, however, my sole responsibility.
