Frank Tipton's book is a comparative study of the management
structures of Asian firms. As Asian economies continue to expand,
the management of Asian firms becomes ever more important, whether
they are suppliers, customers, partners, or rivals. As the author
argues, Asian firms are very different from their Western
counterparts, and these differences reflect the variations in
national history and institutions within which they operate. Asian
Firms compares Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Southeast Asian
management structures and sets them in their historical and
institutional context. Based on a wide range of interviews and
material drawn from a variety of disciplines, the argument is
framed by the sayings of the legendary strategist Sun Tzu and the
renowned businessman Tao Zhu-gong. A series of case studies
illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of the approaches of
managers in each of the national traditions. Asian Firms asks in
each case what Western managers can learn from Asian firms, and
what Asian firms can learn from each other. With a
multidisciplinary approach and emphasis on practical lessons and
tools, the book will be of great use and interest for managers. It
will also appeal to students and researchers of international
business, postgraduate management students in courses with a
comparative or Asian emphasis as well as academics and researchers
of Asian studies.
