Face and place
Description
The concept of 'face' is common across Asia, and provides a basis for private and business relationships. It is an unwritten code of behaviour which guides its protagonists to be diplomatic and yielding, but at the same time ruthless in the preservation of reputation. Religious, social and moral philosophies shape attitudes on the factory floor, creating a workplace far different from the western 'management vs worker' philosophy. In this episode we meet Shozo Honda, a former politician and business man who now heads the Australian technology company Spike, in Japan; Arun Abey, a highly sought after speaker and media commentator who is chairman and founding director of Ipac Securities Limited; and Pradip Shah, who, armed with a Harvard degree and an illustrious career in the world of finance, set up India's first credit-rating agency.
