Special blend: fusion management from Asia and the West Lynette Lithgow.

"Special Blend Fusion Management From Asia & The West ""This superb book deserves to be on the must-read list of Asian as well as non-Asian decision makers. To prepare successfully for the global market place of the future, one must understand the past. In this volume, Ms. Lithgow has presented the cultural, political and the economic history as well as the business practices of the diverse economies of Asia and she has done that with clarity and rare insight."" Ambassador Linda Tsao Yang Former U.S. Executive Director Asian Development Bank ""A remarkable book. I am impressed with the author's keen sense of observation and her candid yet fair elucidation of the Asian way of managing business. In the process, she introduces the reader to influential men - and women - who will shape the first decade of the new millennium in Asia. A commendable work."" Dilip Ratha Senior Economist The World Bank ""This book is a good combination of history, culture, and current events. It is highly enlightening as it answers many questions for me about why things are the way they are in the Asia-Pacific."" Robert G. Lees Secretary-General Pacific Basin Economic Council ""Lynette Lithgow draws upon her extensive knowledge of Asia to write a highly articulate reassessment of the Asian economic model. It is an optimistic analysis that challenges the view that Asia's economic landscape will become a mere Western duplicate in the aftermath of the financial crisis."" Desmond Supple Head of Research, Asia Barclays Bank ""Special Blend is a must-read for managers with multi-country responsibilities and anyone seeking to understand the business transformation now underway in Asia."" James Castle Managing Director The Castle Group"
