Asian entrepreneurs and businesses have created wealth faster than
the rest of the economy. Asian wealth now creates and sustains more
jobs than it has ever done. It stimulates growth in industries and
places that would struggle without the engine of entrepreneurship.
Asian wealth is diversifying and modernising, it crosses the
generational divide. If you want new and old economy wealth, it's
in these pages. If you want modern and traditional management
practices, they are in this book. If you want a new generation of
entrepreneurs and wealth creators, then read on.

Autorentext

leading expert in her field. Spinder has written extensively about
the Asian business community and compiles 'Britain's Richest
Asians' in Success magazine for Eastern Eye reflecting her long
held interest in the field. She wrote the influential study "Silent

in the UK" received global attention.
Spinder knows all about the challenges of the Asian entrepreneur

the Punjab in the 1960's, ran a corner shop in which Spinder
balanced the demands of a busy family business with high academic
achievement
She has been a regular contributor to the Asian media and, in
the past few years, has become an increasingly influential figure
in more mainstream circles. She was the founder and director
of the centre for Asian Entrepreneurial research and is a
Board Member of the Institute of Small Business and Enterprise.
