Summary: This is an excellent book!
Review: I disagree with the reviewer (from Chicago) who indicated that this book was complicated and lacked focus. This is an excellent book to review the influences on and developments in Asian business. The book is carefully organized into sections (for example it looks at strategic management from both multinationals' and local companies' perspectives) and very well edited -- a mounumental job no doubt given the breadth and scope of the subject matter. Some of the articles provide in-depth insights not easily found elsewhere: I found Professor Haley's chapters on business in Singapore and Vietnam extremely valuable; I also liked the little editorials at the end of each chapter.

Summary: Excellent coverage of business-government relations
Review: The chapters on business-government relations provide some real insights. The book is more "academic" in character, and not really recommended for those who have no knowledge of Asian business. But with a little knowledge, one can draw on and use a wealth of information, especially as regards relations with various business stakeholders.

Summary: Interesting takes on business-government relations
Review: This book is extremely well-organized into sections (localstakeholders, local governments' strategies, foreign multinationals' strategies, local companies' strategies, etc.)and beautifully edited... Contributors to this book include such experts as the Chief Economist of Singapore, the Dean of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Provost of the Singapore Management University, and an advisor to the British Parliament on technology policy! I found information in the book not easily available elsewhere, especially dealing with business-government relations and strategies in the Asia-Pacific. I also liked the compendium of WWW sites...
