Business in the Asia Pacific

Business in Asia Pacific brings together an account of the Asia Pacific business environment with an analysis of management styles and decision-making techniques in the region. The book starts with an analysis of the Asian economic miracle and of the 1997 crisis, giving a country by country review of all the region's major economies in the aftermath of the crisis. El Kahal goes on to investigate the socio-cultural bases of the Asia Pacific management environment, focusing in particular on the cases of Japan, South Korea, and China, and looks at post-crisis strategies for companies doing business in Asia Pacific, using a wide selection of detailed case studies illustrating the experiences of a number of major multinationals doing business in the region.
