'This is a uniquely comprehensive set of readings on the national business systems of South and East Asia. The contributions are written by authors who combine distinguished academic reputation with an insight provided by long embeddedness within the workings of the national system they analyse. This depth of understanding is organized within the strong analytical structure set out in the Introduction by Professor Gordon Redding. Altogether a valuable teaching tool and a welcome addition to our understanding of this critical site of global socio-economic growth and present recovery.' - Ray Loveridge, Leverhulme Research Fellow, SaId Business School, University of Oxford, UK
