The rapid growth and tremendous potential of Asia Pacific is changing the way most companies do business and has implications for executive careers. This issue of Point of View focuses exclusively on Asia Pacific and its influence on global business, including the implications for talent and leadership. Incorporating the perspectives from a variety of executives from around the world, but especially those from within the region itself, this edition explores issues such as how the Asian approach to management is likely to shape the definition of global leadership; the future of governance as corporate boards in Asia’s fast-growing economies learn from the best practices and failures of Western governance models and merge them with models that address local needs; the role the region is playing in driving product development and innovation; and the business models emerging from the region and the brands aspiring to become household names, not just in China or India, but around the world.
