About this title

From the Back Cover

At a time when role models are hard to come by, we have found some.

For two decades, entrepreneurs have been eulogised the popular press. At a time when real heroes are hard to find, it is the entrepreneur, the dynamic go-getting risk taker, who has become the hero of tree enterpries.

At the cutting edge of the entrepreneurial community are the Asian businesses features in this book - businesses from manufacturing to finance, from food to hotels, from pharmaceuticals to fashion. It includes first, second and third generation achievers. It tells the stories of household brand names from Cobra Beer to eBookers.com, to Joe Bloggs fashion.
