The New Asian Dragon
This book is an exciting exploration of how firms in Vietnam have grown and developed their export strategies, contributing significantly to the country's amazing economic growth and poverty reduction. It is also a study of foreign firms' contributions, inter-cultural management, and strategies of linkages between local and transnational companies. The book provides new knowledge within international business and private sector development studies. It shows how cross-border economic organizing can take place, for example, with global value chains in a country new to economic globalization. The book is the outcome of research cooperation between two universities in Vietnam (National Economics University and Foreign Trade University) and two in Denmark (Copenhagen Business School and Aalborg University).
Transnational Corporations and Local Firms in Developing Countries
This book studies the organization and effects of linkages between transnational corporations - mainly Danish - and local firms in developing countries. It is based on a number of case studies of linkage collaborations and a survey of about ninety Danish firms and their relations to partners in developing countries. The analyzed host countries are Ghana, India, Malaysia, South Africa, and Vietnam. The book is a contribution to the emerging literature on firm strategy in developing countries, offering new empirical evidence of the multi-faceted and complex nature of cross-border inter-firm linkages. It documents how even small firms in both developed and developing countries engage in - and can benefit from - cross-border linkages.

This book offers a comprehensive look at the current literatures and research based on empirical data from across different countries in Africa.

The main themes are macro and micro issues of Management in Africa, each chapter illustrating the historical or traditional view of Management in Africa versus the newer western business management perspective. This book presents current, in-depth, rigorous research and identifies future research and propositions, enabling scholars and students to gain an in-depth understanding of management as it is evolving and practiced in Africa.

Understanding Business Systems in Developing Countries
The contributors to this volume challenge the assumptions of classical business economics about the universal nature of the firm. They show how the embeddedness of firms in the larger societal context of nations impacts on their ability to adjust to the current forms of international competition. The key theoretical approach highlighted in this book is the concept of a "business system" as defined by Richard Whitley and his associates. This book begins with an elaboration of this approach in a paper by Richard Whitley. The remaining papers critically assess this approach, both theoretically and empirically.
