Income Volatility Of Indonesian Banks After The Asian Financial Crisis, Barry Williams
Income Volatility Of Indonesian Banks After The Asian Financial Crisis, Barry Williams
Barry Williams
This paper considers the factors that determine Indonesian bank risk both before and after the Asian Financial Crisis (AFC). In the pre-AFC period, bank capital holdings are positively associated with bank revenue risk, which is attributed to a combination of regulatory laxity as well as laxity of enforcement. In the post-AFC period, capital is found to reduce bank risk in a non-linear manner. Franchise value is associated with lower bank risk, but in a non-linear manner; low levels of franchise value are associated with increased bank risk, while higher levels of franchise value result in lower bank risk. It is …
A Strategic Management Approach To Guanxi In China, Xiaowen Tian, Moxi Song, Ran Tian
A Strategic Management Approach To Guanxi In China, Xiaowen Tian, Moxi Song, Ran Tian
Xiaowen Tian
This article adopts a strategic management approach to addressing the issue of how to achieve both corporate profitability and corporate social responsibility in dealing with Guanxi in the Chinese business context. It argues that environment scanning, strategy formulation, strategy implementation and strategy evaluation and control should be the key components of strategic management of Guanxi. The article proposes a practical framework for managing Guanxi strategically in the emerging China market, and illustrates the framework with cases in the real world.

International Business Research Amid Accelerated Globalisation: An Editorial, Xiaowen Tian
Xiaowen Tian
Extract
The landscape of global business has changed dramatically since the 1980’s and the market competition has now become truly global with the rise of emerging market countries such as Brazil, Russia, India and China. Competing in the rapidly changing global business environment, companies face new challenges and have to deal with a wide range of emerging issues that they either have not experienced or have not paid attention to before.
The special issue of the Journal for International Business and Entrepreneurship Development includes six papers that discuss the issues faced by companies in accelerated globalisation today. In the editorial, …
Socially Responsible Foreign Direct Investment: A Challenge To Tncs In Emerging Markets, Xiaowen Tian, Moxi Song, Ran Tian
Socially Responsible Foreign Direct Investment: A Challenge To Tncs In Emerging Markets, Xiaowen Tian, Moxi Song, Ran Tian
Xiaowen Tian
A widening gap between the rich and the poor is found in most, if not all, emerging market countries that have recently opened up to FDI and is threatening the sustainability of economic progress in these countries. The study finds strong evidence that FDI contributes to the widening gap between rich and poor regions through negative productivity spillovers in the largest emerging market of China, and provides some theoretical explanations. The study discusses implications of the findings for transnational corporations in making socially responsible investment and for emerging market countries in attracting foreign investors to poor regions.

This study is a methodological evaluation of studies on importance and performance measurement, and importance–performance analysis (IPA) which has gained widespread acceptance in the hospitality and tourism research. A synthesis of IPA literature on conceptual and measurement issues is presented with a view to identifying and mitigating potential validity concerns.
Trade Liberalisation And Growth: A Threshold Expectation, Rod Falvey, Neil Foster-Mcgregor, Ahmed Khalid
Trade Liberalisation And Growth: A Threshold Expectation, Rod Falvey, Neil Foster-Mcgregor, Ahmed Khalid
Ahmed Khalid
Openness and trade liberalisation variables are consistently estimated to have significant positive coefficients in panel growth regressions. Many arguments have been advanced as to why and how more open or liberalised economies might grow faster, but the specific channels this process uses have begun to be investigated only recently. We continue these efforts by including a variable identifying the date of trade liberalisation in a system of equations that captures the determinants of growth in per capita income. Four ‘channels’ are considered: capital formation, the share of government, the economy’s openness to trade and its price distortions. We include the …

Quantifying Foreign Direct Investment Productivity Spillovers In China: A Computable General Equilibrium Model., Ziliang Deng, Rod Falvey, Adam Blake
Rodney Falvey
For the purposes of this study, we will construct a static monopolisticallycompetitive computable general equilibrium model to quantify the endogenous productivity spillovers from foreign and domestic firms, using the Chinese economy as a case study. Our simulation results indicate: (i) that the net spillover effects are positive in terms of national total output, GDP and welfare; (ii) that both state-owned and privately-owned firms benefit, but that private firms benefit more; (iii) that industries with large volumes of foreign direct investment (FDI) do not necessarily observe the largest spillover effects; and (iv) that the spillover effects become more prominent when the …
