Improving Management of Public Organizations: Lessons from Asia

Description of the theme

Hofstede (2007) argues that Asian context is special enough to call for more Asian management research, and we concur. We believe that public management lessons from Asian countries and regions today and in the past may even open a new window that allows scholars to further improve public management theories and practices.

An example is the responses of Asian economies to the COVID-19 pandemic. When many Western countries are still experiencing the lockdown of cities, people living in Asia seem to have a relatively normal live. China government even attributes a low infection rate to the “institutional advantage” – a top-down authoritarian regime and bottom-up mobilization of people. But apparently not all Asian regimes are authoritarian. South Korea and Taiwan, for example, adopt Western democracy but also perform outstandingly in combating COVID-19. An alternative perspective suggests that people’s high trust in government, which is embedded in a Confucian culture named submission to authority, contributes to better government-people synergy in preventing the pandemic.

Aforementioned views about Asian public management are intellectually illuminating, but little evidence supports them. More precisely, systematic Asia-based studies are still lacking. As Hofstede (2007) claims, Asian scholars should have more confidence in developing an agenda for Asian management research. Therefore, this panel welcomes high-quality research that emphasizes public management lessons from Asia.
