Management Geography : Asian Perspectives Focusing on Japan and Surrounding Regions Paperback / softback

Edited by Atsushi Taira, Rolf D. Schlunze

Part of the International Perspectives in Geography series

Paperback / softback

Description

Management geography explores the spatial characteristics of management-related issues, especially of firms.

This book discusses management geography in Japan and other Asian countries from Asian perspectives.

The field has made significant contributions to the global economy but has not been deeply investigated in English-language geographical literature to date.

The book addresses the following critical questions:What kinds of challenges do multinational corporations in Japan and other Asian countries face?How are managerial actors in multinational enterprises (MNEs) embracing boundary-spanning activities in a global context?How do firms and related entities cultivate business pipelines and ‘buzz’ within and beyond local regions?How do actors in Japanese MNEs, small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and related institutions embed various managerial processes at overseas locations?

This book consists of two parts:Part I discusses the application and roles of Japanese and international managerial practices in the globalizing world.

Part II examines changing business communities in the industrial and rural spaces of East Asia, focusing primarily on Japan and China.

This work will interest readers in a wide range of fields, including geography, management studies, economics, urban planning and sociology.

The book is also suitable for upper-level undergraduate students and graduate students in geography, management studies and related fields.
