Abstract

I am a research manager for a bank in Hong Kong. I do not manage big factories, as Dr Lily Chiang (Chapter 14) does. Instead, I manage professionals who write about the economy and the political environment that impact on firms in this region. I have lived in Hong Kong for 13 years, and I care a lot about China. I have even been accused of being a China advocate. I have great faith that China will continue to grow and prosper. Despite my enthusiasm for China, operating there is certainly a challenge for most multinational managers. All have had sleepless nights. There are so many issues that even an entire book would not be able to cover them all. Therefore, I will pick four areas that strike me as everyday challenges for managers in Hong Kong, China and Asia. I will focus in turn on one issue related to human resources, one related to managerial style, one related to business ethics, and one related to strategic management.
