Redesigning Asian business

the long version

"This book analyzes the cultural underpinnings of Asian management practices, evaluates the influence of the Asian economic crisis, and discusses their potential for guiding Asian firms to a sustainable competitive advantage. Richter provides examples of how Asian firms shape up their organizations and describes a short-term agenda to fix the weaknesses in their management, at least temporarily.". "Talk about "strategic management" as a mere theory is avoided; a broader definition is adopted, including a value system to guide East Asian firms as they reemerge and redevelop. The result is a challenging, intensely pragmatic analysis for decision-makers at all levels, in all countries and cultures, and a new stone in the foundation of academic research and thought."--BOOK JACKET.
