Article Abstract:

The international economic crisis had various impacts in different parts of the globe. While the Asia-Pacific region and Latin America experienced a decline of 23% in employment of executives, both Europe and North America registered an increase in employment levels. As such, the number of executives hired in 1998 had risen by 2% based on global average. These findings were based on data from clients of Korn/Ferry. Only executives earning more than US$150,000 were included in the study.

Private-equity firms gear up to bet on Asian companies

Article Abstract:

Private-equity companies are increasing their stakes in Asian companies in light of the surging economy in the region. These firms are also hoping that the Asian stock rallies would not derail any restructuring plans of some Asian companies and undermine their annual return target of at least 30% to 35%. One way in which private-equity firms can achieve their expected returns on investment is to invest in unlisted companies rather than in listed ones.
