Strategy for Success in Asia does an excellent job of capturing the complexities of two important puzzles for senior leaders: business strategy, and doing business and Asia. The book does an excellent job of providing guidance on how to deal with these puzzles. Current and future leaders of Asian firms and MNCs will gain tremendously from this book.   Chandru Rajam, Ph.D., Regional Director, Advisory Services, Economist Corporate Network
