Business Restructuring in Hong Kong Ng Sek Hong & Carolyn Y.W. Poon Business Restructuring in Hong Kong examines, in detail, Hong Kong's experience with business re-organization in enterprise and industry, arguing that Hong Kong is currently going through its second wave of commercialization, the first being the de-industralization of ten years ago. It examines whether or not Hong Kong has exhausted its hitherto favourable conditions for growth and prosperity, and whether Western-style prescriptions for re-structuring are the answer to the success of Hong Kong enterprise. Drawing heavily on case studies of three large corporations in Hong Kong, this book contributes to our understanding of the 'late-development' and 'post -modern' syndromes.
