she’s estranged from her mother, and her boyfriend has just left

sharktinis (mountain dew and copious amounts of gin, plus a hint of
jalapeno). With her best friend pulling away to focus on her

octopus who also happens to be Ro’s last remaining link to her
father, a marine biologist who disappeared while on an expedition
when Ro was a teenager. When Dolores is sold to a wealthy investor
intent on moving her to a private aquarium, Ro finds herself on the
precipice of self-destruction. Wading through memories of her
youth, Ro has one last chance to come to terms with her childhood
trauma, recommit to those around her, and find her place in an
ever-changing world. ‘Utterly original‘ – Bryan Washington,

The scope and depth of family business research have been quickly
expanding in the last two decades. The editors and contributors to
this book present eight recent studies examining the impact of
external or internal family conditions on the innovation, growth,
and succession of family firms in Asia. By examining the influence
of families on firm behaviors and decisions, researchers have been
pushing the boundaries of this field. As researchers develop a
better understanding of how families influence their businesses,
the family conditions, including the properties and dynamics of
families, have been found to play significant roles in the business
decisions. In addition, globalization as a pressing issue has
brought new opportunities and challenges to families and their
businesses. This volume comprises diverse topics, including less
commonly examined issues such as kinship, immigrant family
enterprises, and family asset management. This book is a rich
resource for researchers, students, and family business
consultants.

Teen drama starring Vanessa Hudgens of 'High School Musical' fame.
Will Burton (Gaelan Connell) is a huge music fan who is at a new
school and trying to fit in, so when he is asked by Charlotte
(Alyson Michalka) to get involved with her band he can't refuse.
Charlotte gets the band together to compete in the battle of the
bands competition, Bandslam, against her ex-boyfriend's band. As

to make it, just as long as they all stick together.
More than five years have passed since South Korea fell prey to the
Asian financial crisis. Bringing together experts from Korea and a
variety of other countries, this book aims to better understand the
three stages of the Korean crisis: the onset, the policy reaction,
and the economic response. Providing an integrated analysis of the
event and its consequences, the chapters in the book consider the
causes of the crisis, the response of the US government and
International Monetary Fund, adjustments in the Korean monetary and
fiscal policies, and the success of financial and corporate
restructuring. The concluding chapters bring the story up to date,
describing the aftermath of the crisis and assessing whether there
has been sufficient reform to facilitate the country's recovery and
growth. International and also Asian economists will find this a
thoroughly accessible and illuminating book, as will specialists on
Korea, political scientists and political economists.
Entrepreneurs engaging in international business face business
environments that are fundamentally different from their home
countries. Despite decades of entrepreneurship research, we know
little about these entrepreneurs and their strategic behaviour in
establishing and managing transnational operations. This book
applies an institutional perspective on transnational
entrepreneurship to empirical investigations of transnational
corporations (TNCs) from Hong Kong and Singapore. Henry Wai-chung
Yeung argues that significant variations in institutional
structures of home countries explain variations in the
entrepreneurial endowments of prospective transnational business
networks. This is illustrated by empirical data from two in-depth
studies of over 300 TNCs from Hong Kong and Singapore and over 120
of their foreign affiliates in Asia. Entrepreneurship and the
Internationalisation of Asian Firms is a timely contribution to
theoretical and empirical studies in international business and
will be widely read by those interested in international business,
industrial economics, organisation studies, political economy,
regional studies and economic geography.

In this volume, an attempt is undertaken to highlight the genesis,
progress, and transformation of the Asian contextual theology of
minjung, introducing its historical point of departure, its
development, and its transformation in light of younger Korean and
Korean American scholars' endeavors. In this regard, the new Asian
contextual theology, which is emerging, strives to integrate both
minjung and the wisdom of World Religions into its own framework
and direction, assuming the character of a public theology and
remaining humble and open before God's mystery, while featuring its
association with minjung in a holistic way.
