Abstract
As firms evolve in an ever-changing environment, new perspectives are needed to explain management practices. Partnership – a relationship that emphasises equality, shared responsibility and co-operation – and the concept of internal networking (which characterises an organisational structure that is catalysed by and embedded in partnership relations), form the central theme of this paper in examining the success of an Asian high-tech giant. Given the existence of other similar Western models deploying the partnership concept, the paper also questions the importance of contextual factors in corporate management.
