A new taste for quality

Article Abstract:

Luxury goods makers and retailers worldwide are turning to Asia as the site of the greatest growth in coming decades, but the variety of markets is almost as staggering as their potential. While a culture of frugality has swept the US and Europe, one of ostentation is taking hold in the East. The best places to break into the region are Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, but the greatest long-term growth potential is in China, S Korea, India, and Japan. China's markets and trends are discussed in some depth.

Case for Sherlock Holmes

Article Abstract:

Private investigators play an important role in the fight against manufacturers of fake products in Asia. In a recent case, Microsoft hired a private investigator to track down a software counterfeiter whose fake products look so much like original copies. Investigator Steven McVeigh was able to trace the source of the fake products to a university located in China.
