Chapter Chapter 15 in Private Equity in Emerging Markets, 2012, pp 163-172 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Private equity or venture capital investing is a fairly recent but rapidly increasing phenomenon in the emerging markets of Southeast Asia (Deloitte & Touche, 2007; Ahlstrom and Bruton, 2006; Lockett and Wright, 2002). To date, most of the focus of venture capital research has been on the United States and Western Europe with only minimal research on venture capital investing in Asia (Gompers and Lerner, 2001; Harrison and Mason, 1992). Published research about Asian private equity investing has focused mainly on developed economies, such as Singapore (Bruton, Ahlstrom, and Singh, 2002), and China (Bruton and Ahlstrom, 2010. There has been minimal research analyzing the development of the venture capital industry in the emerging economies of Southeast Asia, a region that represents an increasingly important foreign direct investment (FDI) destination (Asian Development Outlook, 2011).
