Managing in Asia
Article Abstract:
A survey of 3,000 business executives and professionals in Asia found a high degree of economic confidence, especially in Vietnam, Hong Kong, the Philippines and China. Some 40% of all respondents believe that profits in their industry will increase by at least 10% between 1993 and 1994. Less confidence was evident in Japan, with only 11% forecasting large increases in profit. Reducing executive privileges was the most frequent response to a question on reacting to reduced earnings. Other survey queries focused on sales in domestic markets, product quality, developing markets and headquarters location.
