Aus dem Klappentext

The Asian economic miracle has excited pundits in all four corners of the world—now find out what some of the drivers of that miracle have to say. Learning from Leaders in Asia is written by senior executives in Asia, who represent 14 nationalities and a very diverse range of industries.

The executives set the agenda on issues that matter most to global leaders in Asia. Can Asia “decouple” from its reliance on US exports? Where is the newest frontier in China? How do Asia’s family-owned businesses address corporate governance issues? How can products from elsewhere be adapted to the Asian market? Does corporate social responsibility matter in China? And what about talent—in the fluid Asian market, how can quality staff be identified and retained?
