The economies of Asia have been growing steadily for the past couple of decades, but this book suggests that this prosperity cannot continue without structural changes in the organizations of Asian economies.

The centrality of family-based organizations in some Asian economies and the dependence on horizontal/vertical networks in others also limits the ability of Asian firms to become global operations. The lack of adequate institutions such as an independent judiciary and a responsive polity, and the absence of organizations to bridge the gap between familism and the government, results in an uncertain societal framework in much of Asia.
