Since the 2008 financial crisis, the Asian economies have been an engine of global economic growth and Asia has become a central topic in global business and strategic management. However, the rise of Asia comes together with major challenges, especially in terms of massive transformation in its fundamental economic, social, political, and legal institutions. The recent anti-corruption campaign in China, for example, has profoundly shaped the ways of doing business there. Also, there has been uneven development among the countries of the Asian region, as evidenced by various data on economic growth and social conditions. How, then, can companies most effectively address the challenges brought by such institutional dynamics? What innovation models are particularly effective in Asian societies? What are the unique challenges of internationalization facing emerging market firms? How should local and multinational companies approach corporate social responsibility and sustainable development? How can we, as strategy scholars, contextualize such challenges and advance our theoretical development?
