In the twenty-first century, it is necessary for Asia to step up
and assume a larger leadership role on the global stage,
commensurate with its economic weight and interests. Eighty-eight
percent of the increase in the numbers of the middle class in the
next five years will take place in Asia, underscoring the reality
that global business and leadership will be colored in significant
ways by Asian values, approaches and strategies. This book explores
how this may impact our view and conceptual approach to the notion
of global leadership. The contributors to this collection explore
and examine the concept of global Asian leadership and outcome
implications at the societal, corporate and policy-making level.
They argue that global leaders will increasingly focus on specific
needs, values and strategies that are uniquely Asian, which
emphasizes the reality that we most likely will have to redefine
our notion of global leadership. This comprehensive study of the
integration of Asian and global leadership will benefit those
employed in the corporate, government and educational sectors as
well as a broader audience with an interest in leadership,
policy-making and economics. "To truly understand Asia, one needs
to grasp not only its cultural dimensions, but also the
organizational and societal contexts which provide a training
ground and unique challenges and opportunities for Asian leaders.
In this book, leading scholars share the latest thinking and
scientific research on exactly these topics. Highly recommended for
both novices and seasoned executives and scholars!" Donald L.
Ferrin, Ph.D., Professor of Organisational Behaviour and Human
Resources, Lee Kong Chian School of Business, Singapore Management
University "While Asia's rapid economic growth has caught the
attention of the world, the study of the leadership engine behind
the growth has been scarce. This book fills the void by assembling
a coherent group of insightful articles to explore and explicate
how Asian business leadership is different yet also similar to
Western business leadership. The similarity resides in the meaning
of leadership, that is, the capacity to influence others to achieve
a common goal, whereas the difference manifests in the means or
styles to exert such influence. With better and deeper
understandings of Asian business leadership, this book offers
invaluable wisdom to bridge the gap between the East and West for a
more prosperous future of all mankind" Philip M. Condit, Endowed
Chair Professor in Business Administration, Editor-in-Chief of
Management Insights and Incoming Editor-in-Chief of Management and
Organization Review, Department of Management and Organization,
Foster School of Business, University of Washington
