ABSTRACT
This book on the changing ‘face’ of women managers in Asia has covered nine economies. These have a disparate range of economic, spatial and demographic sizes, structures and development stages, patterns and trajectories. Thus, the small populations of Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore, medium-sized ones of Japan, South Korea (‘Korea’ from here on), Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam and the giant China are all covered. Within this, at the micro level, we also covered a wide range of management, organisations and sectors, including services (IT, media, retail, hotels, finance, research and development, education, administration) and manufacturing (chemicals, motor vehicles, health care products). This can be clearly seen in the overview of the diverse case studies in Table 11.1.
