Summary:The Asia Pacific is undergoing a major transition after the pandemic. The China-centred global supply chain is now being seriously challenged by an old 'flying geese' model with the US and Japan in the leading position, whereas South Korea and Taiwan are asked by the leading geese to shift its reliance on China for their supply and market needs. Simultaneously, countries in Southeast Asia, notably, Thailand and Vietnam, are facing new opportunities and threats at the increasing tension between China and the US. Furthermore, the global macroeconomic indicators are faring unfavourably due to the ongoing war in Ukraine and the increasing tendency of the global stagnation. This global economic recession is heavily wreaking havoc with the Asia-Pacific that is in a constant need of low-cost supplies, new markets and a stable geopolitical milieu. Against this backdrop, this collection has gathered 17 articles written during the pandemic and post-pandemic years regarding the Asia Pacific. Grouped into countries and themes, this special issue answers some of the substantial questions regarding the future resilience of the business and management in the region.
