Dramatic industrial developments in East Asia since the beginning of the 1960's have turned the region into one of the most dynamic centres of trade and economic growth today. The widespread adoption of trade‐orientated policies and the stimulating effects of Japanese demands for raw materials and labour‐intensive manufactures in the course of her own development have been major factors contributing to the rapid‐growth industrialisation process still taking place in the region. The rapid‐growth trend is reflected in the dramatic increase of manufactured products exported from these countries. It has long passed the point of mere regional importance, but the appreciation of its significance and implications for the economies of the rest of the world is not keeping pace.

In the last four years, since Volume I of this Bibliography first appeared, there has been an explosion of literature in all the main functional areas of business. This wealth of material poses problems for the researcher in management studies — and, of course, for the librarian: uncovering what has been written in any one area is not an easy task. This volume aims to help the librarian and the researcher overcome some of the immediate problems of identification of material. It is an annotated bibliography of management, drawing on the wide variety of literature produced by MCB University Press. Over the last four years, MCB University Press has produced an extensive range of books and serial publications covering most of the established and many of the developing areas of management. This volume, in conjunction with Volume I, provides a guide to all the material published so far.
