Not just focused on the Asian perspective, this volume aims to bridge Western and Asian business practices. Each chapter begins by exploring strategy models and subsequent modifications and extensions. Then it features one to six case studies, illustrating the models in action. There is also additional focus on measuring and forecasting and on applications of business models to non-business areas. This book is most suitable for undergraduate courses in business strategy and/or international business and each chapter ends with discussion questions.
