The Asian Insider
Unconventional Wisdom for Asian Business
Résumé
Unconventional wisdom is essential for business success in Asia. Asia is like nowhere else. Personalities count for a lot. So do culture and ethnicity. In The Asian Insider, bestselling author Michael Backman takes the reader on a fascinating journey into Asia's business world, encompassing:
- the breakneck development of Shanghai and Beijing
- the messiness of Mumbai
- Southeast Asia, where Islam is emerging as a commercial as well as a political force
- Japan, with its lackluster economy that is literally dying
- Malaysia, with its extraordinary mix of race, politics, and business
- Singapore, with all its paradoxes and ironies.
This new paperback edition has been extensively updated and there are two entirely new chapters: one on the all important emerging consumer market in China, and the other on why corporate governance is so problematic across Asia.
Rich in facts, figures, and anecdotes, part management guide, part travel narrative, part polemic, The Asian Insider is highly readable and entertaining. Asia's family connections, business practices, politicians, commercial tribes, and business figures - all are handled in Backman's direct and uncompromising style.
