The IMPACT OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTS (fdi) FROM MARKET ECONOMIES TO CENTRALLY PLANNED COUNTRIES
Submission Deadline: December 31, 2014
Guest Editors:
Pervez N. Ghauri, King’s College, UK
Byung Il Park, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, South Korea
Purpose and Research topics:
Despite the recent economic slump and subsequent reductions and fluctuations of investment activities undertaken by multinational enterprises (MNEs) in host markets, the overall volume of foreign direct investment (FDI) has significantly grown over the last three decades. The major proportion of the FDI flows from market economies to centrally planned countries with the latter currently receiving huge amounts of inward FDI from the West. A representative example of this flow is China. China is often referred to as the factory of the world and/or the black hole of inward FDI. According to UNCTAD (2001, 2011), the recorded figure for 2010 revealed a more than doubling in the increase of China’s inward FDI (i.e., US$105.7 billion) since the year 2000 (US$40.7 billion). The same information also reveals that inward FDI in Vietnam dramatically increased from an annual average of US$651 million between 1989 and 1994 to US$ 2.1 billion in 2000 and US$8.2 billion in 2010.
A more direct example that clearly demonstrates the interaction between market and centrally planned economies is the Korean case. Based on mutual agreements between South (market) and North (centrally planned) Korean governments, South Korea established an industrial complex through FDI in Gaesung, North Korea. A number of South Korean MNEs participated in the project in order to exploit their capital and technology in combination with North Korea’s cheap labor force. As of March 2012, South Korean MNEs invested in a wide range of industrial sectors, such as textile, chemical, machinery, metal engineering, electricity & gas, electronics, food products, paper & wood, ceramics and so on. Since its establishment in 2008, the stock of production exceeded US$1 billion in September 2010 and approximately 50,000 North Koreans were employed as of January 2012 (EncyKorea, 2013). As the first industrial complex inaugurated jointly by South and North Korea, it has been a mutually beneficial contribution to political reconciliation, economic development, economical collaboration and cultural exchange.
However, we do not know enough that what impact this cooperation between market and centrally planned economies has had on the political, economic development, social and cultural areas. In this regard, the aim of this special issue is to bring together theoretical and empirical advancements examining the impact of FDI from disparate economies. We seek both theoretical and empirical papers that may address, but are not limited to, the following list of potential research questions:

Asia Pacific Journal of Management
Special Issue and Conference on
From Emerging to Emerged: A Decade of Development of Dragon Multinationals
Submission Deadline: April 15, 2015
Conference Place and Date: December, 2015 (tentative dates)
Venue: Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia
Estimated Date of Publication: November 2016
Special Issue Guest Editors:
Jane Lu (University of Melbourne and National University of Singapore)
Xufei Ma (Chinese University of Hong Kong)
Lucy Taksa (Macquarie University)
Yue Wang (Macquarie University)
Special Issue Consulting Editors:
Mike Peng (University of Texas at Dallas)
Ravi Ramamurti (Northeastern University)
Conference Sponsor:
Department of Marketing and Management, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia.
In 2006, the Asia Pacific Journal of Management (APJM) published an influential article Dragon multinationals: New players in 21st century globalization (Mathews, 2006a, 23:5-27). In this conceptual article, John Mathews (Macquarie University, Australia) defines firms from the peripheryespecially those from the Asia Pacific regionas dragon multinationals. The author develops a new model to illustrate the three pillars common in these firms pattern of accelerated internationalization and summarizes them into his linkage, leverage, and learning (LLL) model.
According to Mathews (2006a), for dragon multinationals, the best and the quickest way to capture global opportunities and to tap into global resources is first to link up with firms around the global, second to leverage such links to overcome resource barriers (including foreign direct investment (FDI) through acquisitions), and third to learn to build up their own capabilities in a cumulative fashion. These three pillars of linkage, leverage and learning are what make dragon multinationals international expansion distinctive from the internationalization pattern of Western incumbents.
To the extent that firms that lack initial resources may take advantage of the increasingly interconnected global economy in a pattern consistent with the LLL model, the LLL model may become one of the dominant paradigms in international business (IB) research in the 21st century, just like how the OLI model was viewed by the IB and management community in the 20th century. We do not know whether this significant paradigm development will happen, but the fact that John Mathews article won the second APJM Best Paper Award in 2009 and became the second most cited APJM paper ever (with over 600 Google Scholar citations) in just a few years after its appearance in 2006 is a strong signal that the IB and management community may just be ready to embrace such a paradigm development. However, whether such a paradigm development will materialize (Dunning, 2006; Narula, 2006) is at least dependent on two critical issues, which will be addressed in this Special Issue. First, do we have accumulated sufficient evidence to suggest that there is indeed a need for a new paradigm such as the LLL model to account for a very different internationalization process? Second, nearly ten years since Mathews (2006a), do we have sufficient knowledge about ways that those already emerged dragon multinationals (such as Acer, Li & Fung, and Lenovo that appeared in Mathews original article) manage their global operations?
To further enrich our understanding of the merits and limits of the LLL model, we also call for papers that provide new theoretical or empirical insights to help us better understand the internationalization patterns and strategies adopted by firms from the rapidly developing Asia Pacific region including those are still emerging and those already emerged in the global stage. To the extent that management problems remain the same over time while their solutions differ from part of the world to part of the world (Hostede, 2007), we also welcome manuscripts that look at the impact of the emerging or emerged dragon multinationals on the strategies and behaviours of Western MNEs in different parts of the world.
Overall, this Special Issue provides an opportunity to (1) reflect on John Mathews influential article on the then emerging dragon multinationals, and (2) bring together research on recent development of those dragon multinationals that are already emerged in the global market as well as research on the interactions between these (relatively) new players and incumbent western players in an increasingly interconnected global business environment. To serve these purposes, manuscripts are not restricted to, but could deal with the following topics:
Empirical studies to test the validity of the LLL model in a broader range of firms (including but not limited to emerging and emerged dragon multinationals).
How the strategies, structures, and management practices (e.g. how to manage the challenge of diverse workforce) adopted by those emerged dragon multinationals differ from MNEs from the West and Japan.
How the LLL model and OLI model complement or substitute each other.
How the expansion of dragon multinationals to regions such as Africa and Australia affects the strategies of Western MNEs in these regions.
How the pattern of expansion of dragon multinationals is affected by varying institutional conditions in their home countries.
What the performance implications are as a result of the expansion of dragon multinationals.
Papers for the Special Issue should be submitted electronically to the APJM Online Submission System at https://www.editorialmanager.com/apjm/, and identified as submissions to the From emerging to emerged: a decade of development of dragon multinationals Special Issue. The deadline for receipt of papers for this special issue is April 15, 2015. The format of submissions must comply with submission guidelines posted at the APJM website.
Papers will be double-blind peer-reviewed. We will make initial editorial decisions by July 1, 2015. Authors invited to revise and resubmit their work will be invited to present the papers at a Special Issue development conference hosted by the Department of Marketing and Management at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia.
The papers accepted and presented at the special issue conference will be considered for publication in the Special Issue of the APJM. Presentation at the conference does not necessarily guarantee publication in the special issue. The combination of a development conference and a Special Issue nevertheless follows a highly successful APJM initiative to bring out the full potential of authors and papers.

REMINDER: May 31 deadline
Chapters focusing on the cross-cultural/international aspects of survey design are particularly welcome.
==================
The book “SAGE Handbook of Questionnaire Design” is intended to be a comprehensive, authoritative volume that will eventually operate as the Benchmark work in the field of survey design. There is definitely a need for an up-to-date handbook on questionnaire design. Many books have been published on the topic, but most of those books are greatly outdated. There have been many developments in questionnaire design in general during the past several years, and some interesting development in specific fields of research, so a handbook that can provide a more updated account and be a one-stop source would be very helpful for researchers.
The proposed book will be divided in two parts. The first part will focus on issues in basic research using questionnaire design. The second part will focus on issues in applied research using questionnaire design. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
· Theory-driven versus theory-seeking approaches to survey design
· Use of English versus other languages in survey design
· How questions frame answers in survey design
· User-computer interactions issues in survey design
· Cross-cultural differences in participants’ responses to surveys
· Statistical issues in survey design
· Ethical issues in survey design
· Surveys within public versus private domains
Guidelines:
· Book chapter’s proposals (300-500 words, due May 31) should be submitted to [log in to unmask].
Please include:
· Author(s) information (name, affiliation, contact details)
· Provisional book chapter title
