Southeast Asia has a population of more than half a billion, yet
its economy is dominated by about 40 families, most of Overseas
Chinese descent. Their conglomerates span sectors as diverse as
real estate, telecommunications, hotels, industrial goods,
computers and sugar plantations. "New Asian Emperors" shows how and
why Overseas Chinese companies continue to dominate the region and
have extended their reach in East Asia, despite the Asian financial
and SARS crises of the past decade. The authors base their
conclusions on in-depth structured interviews spanning a decade
with the often elusive Overseas Chinese CEOs including Li Ka-shing,
Stan Shih, Victor Fung, Stephen Riady and Sukanto Tanoto, as well
as on the strategic information that their companies use.
The analysis of the New Asian Emperors' present-day management
techniques and practices draws on the history, culture and
philosophical perspectives of the Overseas Chinese in Southeast
Asia. In the midst of today's global economic crisis, this book
also takes a fresh look at the role and management practices of the
Overseas Chinese as they continue to create some of Asia's
wealthiest and most successful companies.
