Dear colleagues ABM's 10.3 issue has just been published and it is a special issue on business and its relevance to social and environmental value creation. It coincides with Japan's catastrophic earthquake and tsunami, which awakened us again with the forces of nature as well as the limit of our nuclear technology. This special issue will provide us an excellent opportunity to consider roles and implications of Asian business and management for social and environmental value creation. I wish you will enjoy reading the following articles. with warm regards, Harukiyo Hasegawa General Editor, ABM ASIAN BUSINESS & MANAGEMENT August 2011 Volume 10 Number 3, pp 327 - 462 ---------------------- GUEST EDITORIAL ---------------------- Toward a new Asian business and management model of social and environmental value creation p327 Jacob Park, Zhaohui Wu and Robert Sroufe Abstract: http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=70&ms=MzY4ODU1MzAS1&r=MTc2OTcwMjAxMQS2&b=2&j=MTA4Mjc2NTU5S0&mt=1&rt=0 Article: http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=71&ms=MzY4ODU1MzAS1&r=MTc2OTcwMjAxMQS2&b=2&j=MTA4Mjc2NTU5S0&mt=1&rt=0 _____________________________________________________________________ ---------------------- ORIGINAL ARTICLES ---------------------- Entrepreneurial value creation through green microfinance: Evidence from Asian microfinance lending criteria p331 Geoffrey R Archer and Lisa Jones-Christensen Abstract: http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=68&ms=MzY4ODU1MzAS1&r=MTc2OTcwMjAxMQS2&b=2&j=MTA4Mjc2NTU5S0&mt=1&rt=0 Article: http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=69&ms=MzY4ODU1MzAS1&r=MTc2OTcwMjAxMQS2&b=2&j=MTA4Mjc2NTU5S0&mt=1&rt=0 _____________________________________________________________________ Determinants of international environmental strategies of Korean firms: An explorative case-study approach p357 EunHyung Cho and Hinrich Voss Abstract: http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=73&ms=MzY4ODU1MzAS1&r=MTc2OTcwMjAxMQS2&b=2&j=MTA4Mjc2NTU5S0&mt=1&rt=0 Article: http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=74&ms=MzY4ODU1MzAS1&r=MTc2OTcwMjAxMQS2&b=2&j=MTA4Mjc2NTU5S0&mt=1&rt=0 _____________________________________________________________________ The effects of an environmental management system on intangible assets and corporate value: Evidence from Taiwan's manufacturing firms p381 Mei-Jane Teng Abstract: http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=72&ms=MzY4ODU1MzAS1&r=MTc2OTcwMjAxMQS2&b=2&j=MTA4Mjc2NTU5S0&mt=1&rt=0 Article: http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=47&ms=MzY4ODU1MzAS1&r=MTc2OTcwMjAxMQS2&b=2&j=MTA4Mjc2NTU5S0&mt=1&rt=0 _____________________________________________________________________ An evaluation of support infrastructures for corporate responsibility reporting in Indonesia p405 Sidharta Utama Abstract: http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=48&ms=MzY4ODU1MzAS1&r=MTc2OTcwMjAxMQS2&b=2&j=MTA4Mjc2NTU5S0&mt=1&rt=0 Article: http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=49&ms=MzY4ODU1MzAS1&r=MTc2OTcwMjAxMQS2&b=2&j=MTA4Mjc2NTU5S0&mt=1&rt=0 _____________________________________________________________________ Barriers to environmentally-friendly clothing production among Chinese apparel companies p425 Qinghua Zhu, Joseph Sarkis and Yong Geng Abstract: http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=51&ms=MzY4ODU1MzAS1&r=MTc2OTcwMjAxMQS2&b=2&j=MTA4Mjc2NTU5S0&mt=1&rt=0 Article: http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=52&ms=MzY4ODU1MzAS1&r=MTc2OTcwMjAxMQS2&b=2&j=MTA4Mjc2NTU5S0&mt=1&rt=0 _____________________________________________________________________ ---------------------- BOOK REVIEWS ---------------------- Corruption and good governance in Asia p453 Andrew Wedeman Abstract: http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=53&ms=MzY4ODU1MzAS1&r=MTc2OTcwMjAxMQS2&b=2&j=MTA4Mjc2NTU5S0&mt=1&rt=0 Article: http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=54&ms=MzY4ODU1MzAS1&r=MTc2OTcwMjAxMQS2&b=2&j=MTA4Mjc2NTU5S0&mt=1&rt=0 _____________________________________________________________________ In defense of Japan: From the market to the military in space policy p457 R Drifte Abstract: http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=55&ms=MzY4ODU1MzAS1&r=MTc2OTcwMjAxMQS2&b=2&j=MTA4Mjc2NTU5S0&mt=1&rt=0 Article: http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=56&ms=MzY4ODU1MzAS1&r=MTc2OTcwMjAxMQS2&b=2&j=MTA4Mjc2NTU5S0&mt=1&rt=0 _____________________________________________________________________ Female entrepreneurship in East and South East Asia: Opportunities and challenges p461 G R Chandrashekhar Abstract: http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=57&ms=MzY4ODU1MzAS1&r=MTc2OTcwMjAxMQS2&b=2&j=MTA4Mjc2NTU5S0&mt=1&rt=0 Article: http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=34&ms=MzY4ODU1MzAS1&r=MTc2OTcwMjAxMQS2&b=2&j=MTA4Mjc2NTU5S0&mt=1&rt=0 _____________________________________________________________________ ____ AIB-L is brought to you by the Academy of International Business.
