Description
Over the past few years, Asian economies have been powering the world’s growth engine. India, China, Philippines, Malaysia, and others have grown at a rate of six per cent or more. A number of large and medium-sized companies have sought to jumpstart their Asian foray by acquiring companies in these countries. This panel discusses the issues faced, both legal and cultural, the challenges and the pitfalls to be avoided.
