The world's economic center is increasingly shifting from North America and Europe to Asia. This timely guide will provide businesspeople with the knowledge and understanding necessary to remain competitive-and proactive-in that brave new world. To help readers better grasp the causes and effects of the ongoing tectonic shift in economic power, this book examines the 16 nations driving the explosive economic growth of Asia. It shows readers how to apply a "Five Factors" analysis to predict which Asian countries and industries will experience the most vibrant economic growth in coming years-and which will present the greatest risks for international businesses. It then goes a step further, offering insights and strategies that will help businesses assess opportunities in Asia and achieve success there in the years ahead. To help readers make those judgments, this comprehensive, practical resource includes insightful descriptions of the value systems, business practices, customs, and social characteristics of Asia and of individual Asian nations. It also exposes the intra-regional relationships of Asian countries that contribute to, or undermine, their individual economic potential and that of the region as a whole.
David James is an imaginative storyteller who brings the same sense of wonder to his fiction that drives his creative studio, Adventures of the Persistently Impaired (...and Other Tales). Before diving into the world of writing, David spent nearly two decades in the music industry, working with major labels like Universal Music and EMI Records-an experience that infuses his stories with authentic cultural references and a pulse on what resonates with young readers.His journey as an author began unexpectedly through his Fortunes Told project, where he created unique Tarot-inspired designs that evolved into a narrative universe that young adults and adults alike could explore through both physical items and digital experiences. This blend of traditional storytelling and interactive elements reflects David's belief that the best stories exist both on and off the page.Known for characters who navigate life with neurodivergent perspectives, David draws subtle inspiration from his own experiences with ADHD. His writing features protagonists who turn their perceived differences into unexpected strengths, often discovering magical or technological solutions to everyday challenges.When not writing, David can be found experimenting with new technologies, developing creative tools to help other storytellers, or adding to his collection of vinyl records. His debut series launches June 19th and is available in hardback, paperback, and e-book formats from all major retailers.
