Introduction: Getting Streetwise

Michael Backman

Chapter Chapter 1 in Inside Knowledge, 2005, pp 1-7 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract A tsunami of historic proportions; embryonic legal systems; a shortage of professional managers; the SARS and bird flu panics; arrogant governments that claim that Confucianism gives them carte blanche to clamp down on media freedom, journalists, and the internet; and companies that pay only lip service to corporate governance: these are some of the problems with which investors in Asia must contend, be they from Asia or outside. But Asia is also home to economies that are changing at a dramatic and exhilarating pace, with rapid increases in spending power, and cultures and people that are a delight.
