Description: "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.
