IT Revolution and Development of Service-Multinationals in Asia

在过去的三年里，我们以团队和个人的形式对这个项目的主题进行了研究。具体来说，我们做了一些研究，比如。“服务跨国公司（SMNs）在亚洲国家经济发展中的作用”，“亚洲国家服务经济和SMNs的现状分析”，“亚洲国家SMNs的战略和管理”等。通过这样的研究活动，我们可以获得很多关于上述主题的知识。综上所述，我们对这个项目的主题主要有以下几点认识；(1)亚洲国家经济正部分由制造业经济向知识型经济转变，服务业日益发展。(2)外国中小企业在亚洲国家服务业的发展中发挥了重要作用。在那里已经有很多外国短信服务公司。(3)国外短信公司之间的竞争在亚洲国家也很明显。对他们来说，在中国建立竞争优势至关重要。(4)亚洲国家将知识、信息等“无形资源”视为服务业成长或发展或中小微企业建立竞争优势的重要管理资源或核心竞争力。(5)知识管理将是亚洲中小微企业构建竞争优势的重要任务。这样，不仅可以掌握亚洲国家短信网络的实际情况，而且可以为构建21世纪知识经济条件下的短信网络管理行为理论和模型提供线索。此外，作为我们的研究成果，我们已经在几个期刊上发表了许多论文。

We carried out our research on the subject of this project by teams as well as individuals for past three years. To put it specifically, we did research on subjects, such as. 'the role of SMNs (Service Multinationals) in the economic development of Asian countries,' 'the analysis of present state on service economy and SMNs in Asian countries,' 'strategy and management in SMNs in Asian countries and so forth. 'We could get much knowledge on the above subjects through such our research activities. To sum up, we could mainly have the following knowledge on the subjects of this project ; (1)Economy in Asian countries is partly shifting from manufacturing economy toward a knowledge based economy and service industry is increasingly growing there. (2)Foreign SMNs have been playing a large part in the growth of service industries in Asian countries. There have been already many foreign SMNs there. (3)The competition among foreign SMNs can be seen in Asian countries. It is essential for them to build their competitive advantage there. (4)'Invisible resource' such as, knowledge, information, is regarded as an important management resources or core competence for the growth or development for service industries or the building of competitive advantage of SMNs in Asian country. (5)The knowledge management will be important task for the building of competitive advantage of SMNs in Asian countries. As a result, we could not only grasp the actual situation of SMN in Asian countries, but also find a clue to build the theory and model of managerial behavior of SMN in a knowledge based economy in the 21^<st> century. In addition, we have already published many papers in several journals as the results of our research.
