The Future Fit Asian Organization : A Leader's Guide to Balancing Tradition with Transformation

Driving and embedding change in complex organisations is no mean feat, and certainly not a cookie cutter approach. Yet books on this topic that adorn the business bookshelf are devoid of a “glo-calised” (global yet local) approach which considers the often invisible yet powerful forces such as ethnic culture, deep rooted tradition and national culture. Change and transformation literature and strategies are traditionally set against a Western backdrop. All too often, the words “that won’t work in Asia” are uttered, yet no effort is expended trying to define a way that will work in the continent. The second edition of The Future Fit Organisation series dives deep into research and grass-roots case studies from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Korea, Japan, China and India and outlines how to localise change management strategies which to harmonise with the distinct cultures within Asia.
