IT Revolution and Development of Service-Multinationals in Asia

在过去的三年里，我们通过团队和个人对这个项目的主题进行了研究。具体地说，我们做了一些课题的研究，比如。亚洲服务业跨国公司在亚洲国家经济发展中的作用、亚洲国家服务业经济与服务业跨国公司的现状分析、亚洲国家服务业跨国公司的战略与管理等。“通过这样的研究活动，我们可以获得有关上述主题的许多知识。综上所述，我们对本课题的认识主要有以下几点：（1）亚洲国家的经济正在部分地从制造业经济转向知识经济，服务业在那里日益增长。（2）外国中小型网络在亚洲国家服务业的增长中发挥了重要作用。目前已有多个外国SMN在此设立。（3）外国SMNs之间的竞争在亚洲国家可见一斑。他们必须在那里建立自己的竞争优势。(4)知识、信息等“无形资源”被亚洲国家视为服务业成长、发展或中小企业竞争优势建立的重要管理资源或核心竞争力。（5）知识管理将是亚洲国家中小企业竞争优势建设的重要任务。这样，不仅可以把握亚洲国家中小企业管理的实际情况，而且可以为构建21^世纪知识经济时代中小企业管理行为的理论和模型提供线索<st>。此外，我们的研究成果已经在多个期刊上发表了多篇论文。

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.
