Description

"In this book, the reader will gain insights into one of the most dramatic economic and social transformations in the history of the world." - Lee Kuan Yew, Senior Minister, Singapore. The World Economic Forum is an independent, international organization committed to improving the state of the world. The Forum provides a collaborative framework for the world's leaders to address global issues, engaging particularly its corporate members in global citizenship. Drawing on its unparalleled Asian network, this book offers a fascinating insight into how the region is managing its own political change and national governance challenges. Written by some of the world's most accomplished leaders, this unique collection outlines a way forward for Asia. By changing the way the region operates, these visionaries are turning conventional wisdom around, proving that to know Asia, one has to look at the attitudes and aspirations of those who lead its key institutions.
