Abstract
© 2017 Nipawan Thirawat. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. This chapter reviews a variety of network management strategies that play a significant role in the internationalization process of firms in the Asia-Pacific region. Numerous network forms are identified, including multinational enterprises (MNEs), small and medium enterprises (SMEs), general businesses, formal businesses, informal businesses, intrafirm global production and interfirm global production networks, as well as preclusterization, ethnic businesses, and clusters. The functions and benefits of each network type are illustrated by the case studies of MNEs from India, Thailand, Japan, China, Taiwan, New Zealand, Australia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia.
