In the twenty-first century, it is necessary for Asia to step up and assume a larger leadership role on the global stage, commensurate with its economic weight and interests. Eighty-eight percent of the increase in the numbers of the middle class in the next five years will take place in Asia, underscoring the reality that global business and leadership will be colored in significant ways by Asian values, approaches, and strategies. This book explores how this may impact our view and conceptual approach to the notion of global leadership.

The contributors to this collection explore and examine the concept of global Asian leadership and outcome implications at the societal, corporate, and policy-making levels. They argue that global leaders will increasingly focus on specific needs, values, and strategies that are uniquely Asian, emphasizing the reality that we most likely will have to redefine our notion of global leadership. This comprehensive study of the integration of Asian and global leadership will benefit those employed in the corporate, government, and educational sectors as well as a broader audience with an interest in leadership, policy-making, and economics.

To truly understand Asia, one needs to grasp not only its cultural dimensions but also the organizational and societal contexts that provide a training ground and unique challenges and opportunities for Asian leaders. In this book, leading scholars share the latest thinking and scientific research on exactly these topics. Highly recommended for both novices and seasoned executives and scholars!
