As a western entrepreneur in China, I have found this the most helpful book that I have read to help me understand what is happening behind the scenes. Backman's information is helpful to anyone dealing with Asia - even if they have been doing business with them for many years.

The Asian century has just started! Throughout the next decades, global business leaders, opinion makers, politicians and world citizens will realise how much impact Asia will have on the modern world and how influential Asia will be in shaping tomorrow's world. Michael Backman's "The Asian Insider" is a unique and brillant guideline for anyone interested in capturing those insights and opportunities arising from the Asian century, and for all those interested in knowing more about the complex and dynamic landscapes of cultures, politics, businesses, languages and religions called Asia. Michael Backman is one of the most prominent commentators and thoughtleaders on Asian issues, and his engaging, personal and very direct style is an extraordinary experience for any reader. Read "The Asian Insider" (and Michael Backman's other books!) and get to understand better how and why Asia will change tomorrows landscape - in its own way. The Asian way which is crucial to understand for any reader reaching out for the world.
