Promotion Strategies

This paper examines and compares the promotion strategies used by clothing and shoe retailers in the Asia Pacific region, namely Hong Kong, New Zeal and Australia. To undertake this study, we postal surveyed the clothing and shoe retailers' perceptions of the importance of various promotion tools across the three countries. The results show that there are significant differences among the three countries in terms of promotion mix usage. Our main conclusion is that there are two approaches to strategic promotion, namely traditional and new age marketing. The paper ends by isolating the managerial implications of the research and identifies related areas that might be fruitfully exploited by international retailers.

The Common

Because of the unique position that Hong Kong occupies in China and its separate legal system based on the common law, it is a well-established policy of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (‘‘HKSAR’’) Government to develop and enhance Hong Kong’s status as a major dispute resolution centre in the Asia Pacific region. One significant initiative in this regard is the recent introduction of a new Arbitration Ordinance to further improve the legal environment for arbitration in Hong Kong.

SummaryObjectives: To clarify health record background information in the Asia-Pacific region, for planning and evaluation of medical information systems.Methods: The survey was carried out in the summer of 2009. Of the 14 APAMI (Asia-Pacific Association for Medical Informatics) delegates 12 responded which were Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Taiwan.Results: English is used for records and education in Australia, Hong Kong, India, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore and Taiwan. Most of the countries/regions are British Commonwealth. Nine out of 12 delegates responded that the second purpose of medical records was for the billing of medical services. Seven out of nine responders to this question answered that the second purpose of EHR (Electronic Health Records) was healthcare cost cutting. In Singapore, a versatile resident ID is used which can be applied to a variety of uses. Seven other regions have resident IDs which are used for a varying range of purposes. Regarding healthcare ID, resident ID is simply used as healthcare ID in Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand. In most cases, disclosure of medical data with patient’s name identified is allowed only for the purpose of disease control within a legal framework and for disclosure to the patient and referred doctors. Secondary use of medical information with the patient’s identification anonymized is usually allowed in particular cases for specific purposes.Conclusion: This survey on the health record background information has yielded the above mentioned results. This information contributes to the planning and evaluation of medical information systems in the Asia-Pacific region.

The Relationship

Hong Kong is a key leading economy in the Asia Pacific region. This study examines the relationship between the financial health, as measured by the Altman Z-Score, and corporate performance, as measured by the Return on Equity (ROE), of listed manufacturing companies in this market. A linear regression has been conducted between these variables to determine the magnitude and direction of their relationships. The trends of Z-Scores over a five-year period have also been analysed. The analysis covers the period from 2013 to 2017 (inclusive) and yields a statistically positive correlation between ROE and the Z-Score for the market. Hong Kong registered relatively healthy mean and median Z-Scores. These findings further support the strong economic position of this market as an Asian giant.

Multivariate Cointegration

This study analyses weekly stock indices for ten equity markets of Asia pacific region for the period January 1, 2001 to June 30, 2013 to explore the long run relationship among Karachi stock exchange and Asia Pacific equity markets . These markets include Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Taiwan, India and china. Multivariate Cointegration and VAR procedures are performed to observe the long term dynamic relationships among these market Results show that Karachi stock exchange is best performing market for the period under study as it offers the highest return at relatively low risk level. Multivariate Cointegration analysis provides an evidence of a single cointegrating equation among the markets studied. The results of the bivariate Cointegration tests indicate that the Pakistani stock market is not individually integrated with any of the emerging Asia Pacific markets except Hong Kong and Taiwan. Granger causality tests reveal a casual flow from Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Indian indices to Karachi stock exchange index. This unidirectional causality is indicator of lead-lag relationship amongst them. Variance decomposition analysis shows that Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) is exogenous as most of its vibrations are explained by its own unique shocks. Above results explain that international investors can derive the benefits of portfolio diversification and any volatility in emerging Asia Pacific markets does not expose the international investors in Karachi stock exchange to any immediate threat of spill over effect.

This article offers a description and rationale of the Global Childhoods Project, initiated by a group of researchers from Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand and Australia. This transnational and interdisciplinary network embarked on a collaborative research endeavour concerned with investigating questions of childhoods and globalization in the Asia-Pacific region. A central premise of the group is that researching global childhoods is best conducted by local researchers with knowledge of their own culture and contexts. This article considers the ways in which such collaboration offers opportunities to productively explore the possibilities and dilemmas associated with collaborative interdisciplinary, transnational, multi-sited ethnographic research. While all the researchers taking part in what we termed the Global Childhoods Project are established scholars and experienced researchers, the group quickly realized that the multiplicity of cultures, languages, perspectives and research backgrounds that furnished us with such potentially rich ground for collaborative work also presented us with a number of unanticipated conundrums and challenges.
