The private sector has an important role in poverty reduction in
Asia. The Private Sector s Role in Poverty Reduction in Asia argues
that the best way to create sustainable projects is to create
win-win situations where both private companies and individuals
working their way out of poverty can benefit. The book provides a
practical guide for managers and individuals working in the private
sector in the least developed areas of Asia to help make a
difference to the lives of others. The book s opening chapter
considers the private sector s role in poverty reduction in Asia
and following chapters discuss the variable nature of development,
developing economy environments in Asia and business practices and
strategies in these economies. A number of Asian economies are
considered in turn, including: China; Vietnam; Thailand; Cambodia;
Laos PDR; Southeast Asian countries; South Asian countries; Central
Asian countries; and the Himalayas. The final chapter looks at
creating sustainable win-win situations.
Focuses on practical advice for acting managersUses primary
research carried out in developing economies, with interviews and
ideas from local managers and business ownersCovers a variety of
academic theories, empirical evidence and personal experiences of

This book takes a unique approach to the topic of poverty
reduction, primarily employing an international business framework
as opposed to the usual economic or political lens. Some of the key
ideas explored in the book include: poverty is primarily the lack
of choices, not the lack of material possessions; attacking
inequality of opportunity might be a more effective means to reduce
poverty than attaching inequality of wealth; political systems
matter, but individuals and for-profit firms also have a vital and
indispensable role in helping to create the wealth needed to reduce
poverty; and an effective corporate social responsibility strategy
to help reduce poverty may include finding innovative and creative
ways to operate profitably in areas of the world where poverty is
currently robbing too many people of the opportunity to live their
version of the good life. Building on such ideas, the book
advocates for private companies to expand operations into the least
developed regions of the world as part of their corporate social
responsibility programs and to reframe the debates away from ones
focused on exploitation and economic nationalism to one of creating
opportunities across political borders.
This book explores the issue of poverty reduction within mainland
Southeast Asia with a specific focus on the impact of the private
sector and tourism. Covering Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand,
Vietnam, and Yunnan, the book discusses how success in poverty
reduction has come about largely through innovation in the private
sector, foreign investment and the move toward more market based
economic policies as opposed to foreign aid, or interventions by
international development programs, to reduce poverty in the
region.
