    ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN PACIFIC ASIA
    Past, Present and Future

    by Leo Paul Dana (University of Canterbury, New Zealand)

    Entrepreneurs are now internationalising, and many more are likely to internationalise in the future. Yet, most small firms expand in an opportunistic fashion, because entrepreneurs seldom have the time and resources to gather reliable data about opportunities in foreign countries.

    Leo-Paul Dana has conducted extensive international field research with a view to compiling key information on the business environment throughout Pacific Asia. Thus, the book is not just another “how to” guide. It reflects what is happening in an important region of our global economy.

    With this book, businessmen and business analysts, investors, academics and business students will gain invaluable insights into the conditions and opportunities for enterprise in these countries in this region.

    “This book can prove to be a very useful tool to the small-scale entrepreneur wishing to expand his/her business in the Southeastern Asian region, by providing information on which country will provide more incentives and better opportunities for each product or service. It can also prove helpful to the international business student, who has never visited the region and is unaware of the local differences within the region. Finally it can provide insightful information on the cultural aspects of the area's business evolution and transactions.”

    “Leo Paul Dana has put together a fascinating collage in his book on Entrepreneurship in Pacific Asia. Complete with thumbnail historical sketches of each nation and an assessment of public policy toward entrepreneurs, the book also contains a very personal touch. The author has included his own photos of people and places, including many pictures of workers on the job.”
