Abstract

We highlight that the rich context of the phenomenal growth and global expansion of Taiwanese firms provides ample research opportunities especially for the field of strategic management, international business, and technology and innovation. We therefore urge researchers to devote systematic and continuous efforts to these directions. To facilitate productive research conversations on issues that challenge the pursuit of sustainable growth of Taiwanese firms, this special issue publishes seven research articles that represent quality research efforts from the three sub-fields. In addition to an introduction on the merits of each paper, we furnish a brief review on previous publications related to the focused issues in major TSSCI journals. Implications and suggestions for future research endeavor are also discussed, with an expectation of sustaining fruitful dialogues in the management community.
