    TITLE: New Asian Emperors. The Overseas Chinese,
    Their Strategies and Competitive Advantages
    AUTHORS: George T. Haley, Chin Tiong Tan and Usha C. V. Haley
    PUBLISHER: Butterworth-Heinemann, Oxford

    DESCRIPTION: The New Asian Emperors shows how and why
    Overseas Chinese companies are achieving dominance in the
    Asia Pacific. In the wake of the Asian currency crisis, this book
    takes a fresh look at the role of the Overseas Chinese as they
    continue to create some of Asia's most wealthy and successful
    companies. In particular, the authors tackle the principal differences
    between Western and Eastern business practices. The Overseas
    Chinese, due to their origins and history developed a unique form
    of management - now they maintain it as their competitive advantage.
    Although Asian governments are currently floundering, the Overseas
    Chinese networks continue to prosper. The authors explain to
    Eastern and Western managers and researchers * the sources
    and characteristics of Overseas Chinese management * how to
    combat the Overseas Chinese * the strengths and exploitable
    weaknesses of the Overseas Chinese * whether Overseas Chinese
    management practices will spread in the same way as Japanese
    management did * whether Western management technologies
    will find themselves outclassed. A feature of the book is the exclusive,
    in-depth interviews with the New Asian Emperors (the CEOs of major
    Overseas Chinese companies) since most of them avoid the press
    and little is known of them.
