Summary:

Confronted with rapid changes and market-place pressures, managers throughout Asia are questioning their leadership. This book will help them integrate their traditions with modern practices to forge approaches suitable for their cultures and effective for today's global market demands. It also helps Western managers adapt their methods so that they can lead successfully in Asia-Pacific.To be successful, Asia-Pacific leaders must work to develop effective, close relationships with their employees and among their employees. Chapters written by scholars from ten Asia-Pacific countries highlight this common theme and also describe the expectations and orientations which managers can expect in a particular country.
