Expatriates in Asia

Breaking Free from the Colonial Paradigm

By: Scott Hipsher

The Asia-Pacific region is recognized as the fastest growing economic region in the world as well as one of the most difficult places for expatriates to work. Classical literature, modern popular entertainment, as well as academic studies often create an impression of Asia in the West which can encourage the formation of a set of expectations about working in Asia that hinder the expatriate adjustment process. This book provides conceptual frameworks as well as practical advice on working in the exciting and challenging environments found in the dynamic and diverse continent of Asia. - Identifies and describes the Colonial Paradigm and how it affects the perceptions of Western expatriates - Identifies and describes the phenomenon of the independent expatriate - Provides case studies to illustrate both the challenges and rewards of the expatriate experience in Asia

The Private Sector's Role in Poverty Reduction in Asia

By: Scott Hipsher

The private sector has an important role in poverty reduction in Asia. The Private Sector's Role in Poverty Reduction in Asia argues that the best way to create sustainable projects is to create win-win situations where both private companies and individuals working their way out of poverty can benefit. The book provides a practical guide for managers and individuals working in the private sector in the least developed areas of Asia to help make a difference to the lives of others. The book's opening chapter considers the private sector's role in poverty reduction in Asia and following chapters discuss the variable nature of development, developing economy environments in Asia and business practices and strategies in these economies. A number of Asian economies are considered in turn, including: China; Vietnam; Thailand; Cambodia; Laos PDR; Southeast Asian countries; South Asian countries; Central Asian countries; and the Himalayas. The final chapter looks at creating sustainable win-win situations. - Focuses on practical advice for acting managers - Uses primary research carried out in developing economies, with interviews and ideas from local managers and business owners - Covers a variety of academic theories, empirical evidence and personal experiences of individuals working in the region
