Ethnic Business

<p>The role of ethnic Chinese business in Southeast Asia in catalyzing economic development has been hotly debated - and often misunderstood - throughout cycles of boom and bust.<br>This book critically examines some of the key features attributed to Chinese business: business-government relations the family firm trust and networks and supposed 'Asian' values. The in-depth case studies that feature in the book reveal considerable diversity among these firms and the economic and political networks in which they manoeuvre.<br>With contributions from leading scholars and under the impressive editorship of Jomo and Folk <em>Ethnic Business</em> is a well-written important contribution to not only students of Asian business and economics but also professionals with an interest in those areas.</p>
