Quotes by Michael Backman (?)

“There is no such thing as an Asian market. There is not even a singular Chinese market. The degree of adaptation will depend on your product and where in Asia you hope to sell it.”

“Whereas the business community in the West is a community of companies, the business community in Asia is a community of people. In the West, companies tend to do business with one another. In Asia, the deals are all done between personalities.”

“Western companies tend to list on the stock market so that they can raise funds to expand. But the situation is often quite different in Asia. Listings all too frequently are little more than exit strategies, as founding families seek to off-load assets that no longer perform well and that they no longer want. 'What is profitable is mine, but what is not is yours' is the guiding principle of many a majority shareholder in Asia.”
