Lean and Nosey like a Chao Phraya River Rat CHAO PHRAYA RIVER RAT'S ASIA PACIFIC MANAGEMENT NEWS ARCHIVE OF AUGUST 1995 TO SEPTEMBER 1977 Current News Articles Recent Archive Asian Business Strategy & Street Intelligence Ezine Asia Researchers Forum Japanese Management Today

Commentary on news, business intelligence, and conference and publications announcements relating to Asian business management and the mission of the Asian Business Strategy & Street Intelligence Ezine. This page makes no attempt to comprehensively cover current events, and that material is better achieved by the regional sources available from our Regional News Page. These items are more editorial in nature, and are also designed to engendar discussion in the discussion groups. Contributions on topic are welcome. See the editorial page for how to become a friend of the Rat, or just send a Rat Despatch from here. Where not attributed, editorial is authored by co-editor of the APMF, Rod Davies.
