Enhancing management and leadership in ASEAN [report]

ASEAN management model

With the rapid growth of the region, companies in Southeast Asia face various challenges to manage their operations and lead their teams. The following presentation draws on the experience of many CEOs in ASEAN to assess these challenges, propose methods to tackle them successfully and prepare for the future.

ASEAN is a promising market that grows more attractive everyday. Its combined GDP of more than 2 Trillion US $, young population of more than 600 million inhabitants and the recent implementation of the ASEAN Economic Community make ASEAN a particularly interesting place for business with numerous opportunities.

In order to help local and foreign companies succeed in the region, Michael Netzley, Stephen Wyatt and Bob Aubrey conducted interviews of CEOs of successful companies in the region to discern patterns and highlight a regional model of management.

With feedback from state-linked enterprises, startups, ASEAN and foreign multinationals, they compiled issues that companies in ASEAN now confront, changes needed to tackle them and expectations from their business partners.

Insights for management, leadership and HR in Southeast Asia

The team relates leadership, operational and human resources advantages and weaknesses to educate both insiders and outsiders of ASEAN. Thanks to these insights, they discern some key obstacles but also values, methods and strategies for companies and business leaders who want to succeed across the region.
