Description
Summary:To manage resources effectively in multinational environments, financial managers must understand the current financial management research and apply the findings to their daily practice. In this study, we develop an agenda for researchers who are interested in emerging Asian-Pacific markets. A total of 73 of Taiwan's top financial managers participated in our study. These managers completed assessments of research needs, which then were compared with the results of the Ramirez et al. study (Ramirez, G., Waldman, D., Lasser, D., 1991. Fin. Manag. 20, 17–29) that was done in the USA. While there was moderate agreement on the research needs between the two countries' top financial professionals, noticeable differences were observed regarding some specific areas.
