Today, more Asian leaders are managing international businesses in their local countries. However, the top positions in many multinational companies in emerging or even developed Asian markets continue to be held by Western and foreign expats. Why is that so? Kenneth Chan, a seasoned CEO and Organization Leader with 30 years of hands-on experience in Fortune 500 companies, finds out why while Asian leaders continue to be recognized for their diligence, responsibility, efficiency, and execution prowess, they still need a final push. Asians in Charge reveals proven strategies for success, including: - Disrupt tradition - Subvert the inferiority complex - Take on the leadership mantle - Win the present, build the future Senior Asian executives will be inspired by Kenneth's example and will be well served by the detailed game plans to gain a competitive advantage in the global marketplace. And for global businesses already operating in or planning to establish themselves in Asia, this is an invaluable book on how to draw the best from their Asian leadership pool.

Although Chinese film audiences have always maintained a foundational cultural interest in the fantastic, this trend has dramatically increased over the last decade. Sino-Enchantment is the first work in English to approach this recent explosion of fantastic film in Chinese cinemas, where each re-envisioning of the form is determined by cultural, economic, political and technological factors to produce fresh inventions and creative reinventions of familiar narratives, characters and tropes. With case studies of films such as The Assassin (2015), Monster Hunt (2015) and The Great Wall (2016), this novel approach uses the framework of 'Sino-enchantment' as a new theoretical lens through which readers can engage with elements of the fantastic in Chinese cinema.

This wide-ranging, historically grounded exploration of motion picture remakes produced in East Asia brings together original contributions from experts in Chinese, Hong Kong, Japanese, South Korean, and Taiwanese cinemas and puts forth new ways of thinking about the remaking process as both a critically underappreciated form of artistic expression and an economically motivated industrial practice. Exploring everything from ethnic Korean filmmaker Lee Sang-il's Unforgiven (2013), a Japanese remake of Clint Eastwood's Western of the same title, to Stephen Chow's The Mermaid (2016), a Chinese slapstick reimagining of Walt Disney's The Little Mermaid (1989) and Hans Christian Andersen's 1837 fairy tale, East Asian Film Remakes contributes to a better understanding of cinematic remaking across the region and offers vital alternatives to the Eurocentric and Hollywood-focused approaches that have thus far dominated the field.

The amount of debris in space is growing at an alarming rate, raising concern about operational spacecraft colliding with orbiting debris. This book analyzes the probability of such a collision when the orbits of two approaching objects are measured.Many recent papers have dealt with the methodology of computing the collision probability in the encounter region, but they have assumed that the encounter is a flyby and is short-term, with the trajectories of the objects represented by straight lines. By contrast, ""Spacecraft Collision Probability"", the outgrowth of the author's research during the past two decades, deals not only with those cases but also with important long-term cases in which objects spend protracted periods in the vicinity of each other.An extensive chapter is included on the International Space Station, to demonstrate how one would accurately gauge its probability of collision. The ISS is modeled according to its actual complex shape, component by component-enabling the detailed computation of a more realistic collision probability than one would obtain by the routine practice of modeling it as a sphere.In addition, the author developed Excel macros to obtain the numerical tables and graphical plots appearing in the book.That software is available on the Supporting Materials page of the AIAA website.
