Face and place. Business beyond the bonds of culture

Description

Across Asia, the notion of "face"-a propriety of appearances-is being replaced by Western frankness, while traditional caste systems are yielding to wealth as the determinant of status. This program profiles three executives who typify the changing style of business in Asia: James C. Louey, senior executive of the world's largest bus company, KMB in Hong Kong; Dr. Jannie Tay, CEO of The Hour Glass, a retail chain based in Singapore that sells watches throughout Asia; and Brijesh Wahi, managing director of Cellstream Technologies, a software services and engineering company out of Bangalore.
