Economic links between Hong Kong and the ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) region are historically strong. In this paper, by means of extensive secondary data sources, some facets of these links in relation to the transnational operations of Hong Kong firms and their foreign direct investment (FDI) flows in ASEAN countries are examined. It is found that out of thirty leading Hong Kong transnational corporations (TNCs), nineteen have together more than forty-three operations in ASEAN. Hong Kong TNCs in the tertiary sector are particularly inclined to establish cross-border operations in the ASEAN region. Any explanation of the operations of these TNCs in ASEAN must take into consideration ongoing network relations embedded in peculiar historical contexts and geographical confines. In terms of equity capital inflows, Hong Kong FDI in the ASEAN region regained its momentum after 1985. Indonesia and Thailand are the most favoured destinations for Hong Kong FDI. In these two countries, Hong Kong FDI ranks, respectively, as the second and third largest foreign investment. Future studies need to address the issue of Hong Kong's uncertainty over the ‘1997’ question and of theory-building in international business.

The Impact

There are many factors that promote the close, mutual cooperation within the group of ASEAN countries. These states are linked by the economic, social and political ties. One of the elements that can contribute to the deepening of the integration between the ASEAN countries are the transnational corporations and the business networks they create. Transnational corporations (TNCs) are an economic power in today’s global economy. TNCs are important players and their role is manifested in capital flows, technology transfer and merchandise trade. The importance of corporations as global players is growing due to their economic potential, and also because they make foreign direct investment and create business networks, thereby, contribute to the flow of the state-of-the-art technologies from the developed to the developing countries. They play a significant role in shaping the global economy along with the individual national economies, both those developed ones, from which TNCs mainly originate, and the developing economies, to which they relocate their subsidiaries or chosen elements of the value chain. The aim of this paper is to examine the activities of the transnational corporations in the ASEAN countries and the impact these corporations have on building partnerships between the countries. The analysis will also cover corporations originating from the ASEAN countries, which through creation of business networks, actively affect ASEAN relations with the Asia-Pacific region.
