Conclusion: Globalization, Work and Employment -- Asia Pacific Experiences in Retrospect

Ian G. Smith and Yaw A. Debrah

Asia Pacific Business Review, 2000, vol. 7, issue 1, 239-254

Abstract: In the concluding essay, the authors of this special issue provide a synthesis of the contributions presented in the volume. It is argued that globalization has become a powerful force in the business environment and has a major influence on the labour process, labour markets, the practice of management, and the management of employees in organizations. It is also asserted that both local and global companies are in various ways adjusting to the changes brought about by globalization. The essay comprehensively evaluates the significant number of management issues and variety of outcomes arising from economic globalization in the Asia-Pacific region. The implications of these issues for academic debate by managers, other practitioners, trade unions, employees and governments are critically explored.
