"In just the past quarter-century, Asians have resurrected centuries-old commercial corridors that lay dormant due to colonialism and the Cold War, building the largest economic zone on the planet. Businesses worldwide are therefore focused on selling to Asia, but first need to better understand how to communicate with Asia and how Asians themselves interact with each other. This remarkably useful and timely book that captures Asia's rapidly evolving nexus of innovation and influence will guide them on how to do just that."
