QW Express February 2012

QWE banner Feb 2012 

As globalisation continues and world economies undergo a seismic shift, Asia, one of the fastest developing regions in the world, has reached a crossroads. But as February’s QW demonstrates, opinion is divided over the future of Asia’s industrial strongholds and the direction some countries will take.

This month, QW Express meets Iain Jawad, one of the researchers tasked by the UK government with identifying the best opportunities for UK businesses in South East Asia. The research offers a fascinating insight into some of the innovative solutions to the new challenges faced in the region. And in the Express Interview, respected business lecturer Dr Peter Kwok explores the changing face of quality in China.
