“…Publications that are assigned to the same clusters are likely to have a theme in common (Korom [40] and van Eck and Waltman [41], [42]). As such, this algorithmic clustering enables the delineation of conceptual constructs and the analysis of all published research on the topic in one visual map [31], [43].…”

This study examines convergence by providing a systematic literature review using scientometric method. Despite the steady growth of convergence literature, we still have an incomplete understanding of convergence concepts as well as the processes of industry convergence. Our systematic review highlights several key findings. First, our review highlights six clusters of research on convergence. Second, our analysis suggests that the process of convergence does not necessarily progress in the three-to four-step supply-side process as postulated in the literature, i.e., from scientific convergence, technology convergence, market convergence, and finally to industry convergence. Although existing literature suggests that industry convergence occurs as a result of supply-side convergence, we expand on this proposition and put forth market-driven convergence processes. Third, we provide a typology of the convergence concepts to bring clarity and avoid indiscriminate use of the various convergence concepts. Finally, our study offers new debates on the literature of convergence, providing scholars with research directions that extend beyond the standard convergence processes. Our systematic review is relevant to scholars and managers as the study highlights a taxonomy of convergence scholarship, a typology of convergence concepts, and a reevaluation of the industry convergence process model to drive the research forward.

“…The intellectual growth noted by Schworm et al connects neatly with the capabilities called for by Australia Asian-facing businesses and all fall within the scope of an Asia literate Business School currently: useful level of language proficiency; capacity to deal with government; ability to adapt behaviour to Asian cultural contexts; long-term trusted relationships in the region; extensive experience operating in Asia; and sophisticated knowledge of Asian markets. Klarin et al (2021) further elaborate that it is imperative for interdisciplinary researchers and to those who are relatively new to the field to gain a broad systems view of the entire scholarship to be able to identify how various disciplines in the field of study are structured and related to each other. Addressing the Asia capabilities with the curriculum reinforces the importance of Klarin's findings.…”

Purpose This paper aims to explore the two main viewpoints on Australia’s relationship with Asia; first, the highly visible informed pro-Asia protagonists, and second, pervasive public opinion as informed by history and the Australian self-image. The purpose is to present the polemic internal to Asian Studies and Business Schools currently. This paper postulates that only an (uncomfortable) whole-of-sector introspection would result in an authentic national narrative to drive mutual respect and business between Asia and Australia. Design/methodology/approach The current dismembering of Asian Studies degrees and Asian Business specialisations at Australian universities indicates a waning national support to the production of Asian specialists able to link the Australian economy into the advancing Asian commercial dominance. But such an assessment would not be completely accurate. The authors argue that as an important component of Asian business and economics, understanding the current situation is vital to breathing life back into the Asian Studies and Asian Business Studies disciplines at Australian national universities. Findings This paper concludes that the responsibility for creating specialists should fall to the university sector but is currently defaulting to the business sector. This paper proposes that business schools need to be more active participants in Asian engagement strategies. Thus, Australian universities and disciplines such as Asian Studies and Asian Business must have the academic will and the business support to take up a major role in positive evolution of the Eurocentric elements that currently hold back meaningful engagement. Originality/value This is a current issue that needs to be addressed.

“…Recent advancements in scientometrics and bibliometrics allow one to capture large volumes of data and parse these through specialist analysis tools in order to gain a bird's eye view of a particular set of published data (van Eck and Waltman 2014; Klarin et al 2021). This method allows one to identify possible gaps in the literature through gaining a holistic outlook on a particular subject (Rossetto et al 2018;Klarin 2020).…”

This paper examines the customer value creation framework and discusses the design of the key elements for product development in emerging markets. A scientometric/bibliometric scoping literature review identifies a clear gap in the current research in studying prerequisites for customer value creation in emerging market contexts. Observing experiences of Daikin and Renault in the context of India, the purpose of this paper is to identify value creation strategic choices following which comprehensive customer value offerings in products and services can be successfully created by firms across the four facets of the framework in emerging markets. Value creation strategies include having a nuanced understanding of the latent contextual needs to offer localized high-quality products that embody distinct functional attributes that provide a functional value and being responsive to specific emotional needs and epistemic experiences of the target customers in product and service offerings to deliver a greater experiential value. Furthermore, the products should adopt a localized operational excellence strategy throughout the value chain to reduce costs for competitive price offerings in order to deliver superior cost value and develop brand image and equity strategy, thereby allowing for the provision of a greater symbolic value. Experiences of successful firms demonstrate the need for extensive local research into the emerging market followed by localization of production and development of a distribution network to be able to offer customized products at competitive prices whilst maintaining the brand value. We thus extend the customer value creation framework by introducing localization as a necessary condition for successful organizational performance in emerging markets.
