Abstract: | Various writers have tried to force-fit Western management theories to South-east Asian businesses. Some rail against the lack of focus and suggest there is a need for Chinese entrepreneurs to concentrate on core competencies and to break up their conglomerates. Other authors recognize the differences in Asia, especially the need to understand the importance of the family, government and other networks and to appreciate the role which conglomerates play where "western-type" financial markets are weak. The author argues that there are differences in Asia. |
