'Navigating paradigm changes is a critical element of business
leadership: analog to digital; brand to retailer to consumer;
reason to emotion; West to East. Anything that illuminates these
powershifts is valuable for the fast-moving decision-maker, and in
this respect Asian versus Western Management Thinking is a
first-rate inquiry into cultural business behaviors. Insular
frameworks of thinking and action matter less by the second. I'm an
And/And practitioner and my experience of bridging business between
East and West, and vice versa, suggests we need to know the human
distinctions that matter and the harmonies that will matter even
more. Between the covers of this book by Kimio Kase and colleagues,
business moves forward.' Kevin Roberts, CEO Worldwide, Saatchi
& Saatchi, Lovemarks Company 'Having lived and worked my entire
life in various countries around the world, I agree with the
authors' premise that Asians and Westerners often approach business
problems from different angles. Rather than focusing on
differences, I welcome the strength that comes from diversity. As
my experience at Renault and Nissan has demonstrated, the richest
solutions come when ideas are challenged or questioned by people
who have a different perspective. This book illustrates the value
of accepting diverging ideas as a fact of life that can be used to
enhance the world in which we all live and work.' Carlos Ghosn,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Renault-Nissan Alliance 'A
most welcome addition to the unbalanced management literature about
the 'analytical' West and the 'synthetic' East. For too long the
field has been dominated by comparisons of cultural value systems
which paradoxically tell us precious little about how habits of
mind influence management thinking and practice in different parts
of the world over time. At a time when the world's economic centre
of gravity is visibly shifting to Asia, this really is a most
timely book.' Nigel Holden, Visiting Research Fellow at the Centre
for International Business at the University of Leeds, UK
