Editorial

Although the United States and Europe retain leading roles in the world economy, the shift of global economic power towards the East and the rapid growth of the emerging markets in Asia seem irrefutable. This has been evidenced by Asia leading the world in recovering from the global economic crisis over the last two years. We hope that scholars conduct more research on topics in relation to Asia, especially the Greater China region and share their insights and research outcomes with other scholars around the world.

The twelve articles of this issue cover a wide range of areas in the business field. Three articles are about management:‘Knowledge transferred in Internet virtual teams,’‘Organizational culture, service innovation and business performance: A case study of the Taiwan construction industry’ and‘The manufacturing technologies’trajectory of custom apparel.’There are also three articles on marketing, which include ‘A study of relationships between message diffusion type, customer satisfaction and loyalty,’‘A method of evaluating the trade-off in-house of quality: The decomposition approach’and‘The computerless computer company: Acer's brand strategy in Europe.’Two articles relate to finance: ‘The relationships among institutional net buys/sells types, intensity, and returns in the Taiwan stock market’and‘Private equity placement: The announcement effect and the long-term performance of stock price.’‘Credit card and bank efficiency: Data envelopment analysis and Tobit regression analysis’ is an article about banking, while‘The study of information security management according to the technology acceptance model: Example of a college computer center’is about business information systems. Finally, the paper‘A study on corporation governance, financial performance and business survival’talks about corporate governance, and‘An evaluation of the working time regulations in the United Kingdom’discusses human resource management.
