In December 2008, ASEAN’s Charter came into force, granting ASEAN status as an international legal entity. With an estimated combined gross domestic product (GDP) of $2.1 trillion and a combined population of about 609 million people, ASEAN is a regional economic force that is quickly becoming the free trade hub of Asia. It has concluded free trade agreements with China, India, Japan, Korea, and Australia/New Zealand, has completed a Trade and Investment Framework Arrangement with the United States, and is in the process of pursuing several other trade and investment agreements. The ASEANChina FTA, which came into force in 2010, represents one of the largest free-trade zones in the world, with an estimated 2.0 billion consumers. ASEAN is also pursuing further internal integration with the establishment an Economic Community (target date 2015), which would harmonize trade laws and permit the free movement of goods, services, labour, and capital...

...industries and inward foreign direct investment does not indicate a lack of 'competitiveness' or low national productivity". In his famous book, The Competitive Advantage of Nations, Porter studied eight developed countries and two newly industrialized countries (NICs). The latter two are Korea and Singapore. Porter is quite optimistic about the future of the Korean economy. He argues that Korea may well reach true advanced status in the next decade (p. 383). In contrast, Porter is less optimistic about Singapore. In his view, Singapore will remain a factor-driven economy (p. 566) which reflects an early stage of economic development. Since the publication of Porter's work, however, Singapore has been more successful than Korea. This difference in performance raises important questions regarding the validity of Porter's diamond model of a nation's competitiveness. Porter has used the diamond model when consulting with the governments of Canada[4] and New Zealand.[5] While the variables of Porter's diamond model are useful terms of reference when analysing a nation's competitiveness, a weakness of Porter's work is his exclusive focus on the 'home base' concept. In the case of Canada, Porter did not adequately consider the nature of multinational activities.[6] In the case of New Zealand, the Porter model could not explain the success of export-dependent and resource-based industries.[7] Therefore, applications of Porter's home-based diamond require careful consideration and appropriate...

...RECOMMENDATION We recommend that DragonCare Ltd expand its footprint to Canada through a fully owned subsidiary by the name of “DragonCare Canada Ltd”. Awareness of alternative health medicine is increasing rapidly in Canada. The Canadian Natural Health Products (NHP) industry (Market Size: $2620 million), of which the herbal medicines have a 40% share (Market Size: $1048 million), is growing at 20% annually. The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) segment in particular is highly fragmented with no major brand in the marketplace. Market share of none of the current players exceeds 5%. In this respect, the market condition in Canada is similar to what exists in DragonCare’s current markets and provides DragonCare a good opportunity to create a niche for itself by building a brand on the strength of its scientific research capabilities and experience of operating in such markets. ------------------------------------------------- ROLL OUT STRATEGY DragonCare Canada should employ a phased approach in introducing its products, its geographic expansion in Canada and introduction of its full value proposition to the Canadian customers. DragonCare should enter Canada with two patented women’s healthcare products preferably for nutritional benefits & immunity development which have the highest demand in Canada. The strategy is to develop these products as DragonCare’s “Flagship” products in Canada. Introduction of other products will be after the “DragonCare Brand” is established...

...of Korea and Singapore H. Chang Moona,*, Alan M. Rugmanb, Alain Verbekec a Graduate Institute for International & Area Studies, Seoul National University, Seoul 151–742, South Korea b Templeton College, University of Oxford, Oxford OX1 5NY, UK c Solvay Business School, University of Brussels (V.U.B.), Brussels, Belgium Abstract Globalization is very important for small economies such as Korea and Singapore. The single diamond model (Porter, 1990, The competitive advantage of nations) suggests some important determinants for a nation’s global competitiveness. However, this model is incomplete, mainly because it does not incorporate multinational activities. A new approach, the generalized double diamond model (Moon et al., 1995, in Research in global strategic management: Volume 5: Beyond the diamond) offers some important extensions to Porter’s original model. To test the validity of these two models this paper evaluates relevant data for both domestic and international variables in the case of Korea and Singapore. The results generally support the generalized double diamond model © 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

...Example 1 - Overview Canada is the first multicultural and multi-ethnic country that has prospered over the last half a century. They adopted the latter and were the first country to have implemented multiculturalism as an official policy in 1971, which was in response to immigration (Spoonley et al., 2005, 89). The government and the community have taken strides in integrating people into their society, and also urges them to take an active role in aspects of their social, cultural, economic and political affairs. But to do so, they have had a fair share of difficulties and obstacles to overcome. Positive The government of Canada has done well in managing the admission of immigrants by selectively screening their capabilities to match them with labour market gaps and provides community programmes that would help them settle in. Negative However, Canada’s multiculturalism system has flaw. As there are two major groups of Canadians, the English-speaking and French-speaking, they hold different beliefs as to how new immigrants are...

...Chinese women cope with life in Singapore. As a migrant nation, the issue of immigration has always been an immanent theme in Singapore. In recent years, migrant workers in Singapore have come under scrutiny due to the scale at which foreigners are entering the country, with almost 1.5 million non-residents living in Singapore making up more than a quarter of our population of 5.4 million (Ministry of Manpower, 2013) of which many are also new citizens and permanent residents, who might be considered outsiders in some contexts. This influx of foreigners has always been a hot topic in Singapore, ranging from the common discourse of jobs being ‘stolen’ to domestic altercations being blown up by the media (see the curry incident; The Telegraph, 2011). Additionally, the recent announcement of the Population White Paper by the Singapore government was taken very negatively by the civil population as it initially planned to bolster the workforce by greatly increase the number of foreigners such that native Singaporeans would only comprise of a small percentage of the population (Population White Paper, 2013). As such, media and public discourse regarding immigration has been largely Singaporean-centric in nature, revolving around how foreigners have affected Singapore and its occupants; not enough has been done to investigate the experiences and conditions of migrants living in Singapore. This paper will focus on migrant Chinese women in Singapore, following their lived experiences...

...from Taiwan and South Korea whose emergence(muncul) can be traced(ditelusuri) to the early 1960s. Hong Kong has grown to become a significant home country(negara asal) of FDI(foreign direct investment) with an outward FDI stock of ,$154.9 billion in 1998, or some 3.8 per cent of the global stock of outward FDI. Indeed, it had become the world’s tenth-largest source of FDI in that year based on the size of outward FDI stock after the United States (with a share of 24.1 per cent of the global stock of outward FDI), United Kingdom (12.1 per cent), Germany (9.5 per cent), Japan (7.2 per cent), the Netherlands (6.4 per cent), France (5.9 per cent), Switzerland (4.3 per cent), Italy (4.1 per cent) and Canada (3.8 per cent). In fact, Hong Kong is almost as important as Canada whose outward FDI stock was $156.6 billion in that year. Thus, Hong Kong had become a significant source of FDI in the world economy, particularly more so in relation to the stock of outward FDI from developing countries where Hong Kong is the single largest home country with a share of almost 40 per cent. Not only is Hong Kong comparable to Switzerland as a home country of FDI in terms of the size of outward FDI stock, the study of the emergence and evolution of Hong Kong-based MNCs is of interest as another case study of MNCs from a resource-scarce...
