ABSTRACT
The discussion in this chapter profiles East Asian management both as an entity and in terms of its distinct systems and styles. It is structured in pursuit of the following three main sets of questions:
To what extent do East Asian management systems and styles continue to differ among themselves?
To what extent do East Asian management systems and styles appear to influence each other?
What specific challenges are likely to shape the development of East Asian management systems and styles?
Addressing these questions offers readers a broad-brush foundation to the more in-depth discussions presented elsewhere in this book.
