This book is a comparative study of Confucian Asian management systems. The text examines the four main management systems in the East Asian region: Japanese, Mainland Chinese, Overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia and Korean, and compares and constrasts the management styles within Asia and with the Western world. Through a comparative analysis of organizational structures, competitive strategies and cultural influences, the workings of each system are made clear. This book also covers special topics such as post-crisis trends in Asian management, challenges of made-in-China to Asian companies, managing successful joint ventures, and cross-cultural negotiations.
