Our publication “Extraordinary Endeavors in Turbulent Times: Asian Innovation, Inclusion, and Impact during COVID-19" is a joint research report between the Tanoto Center for Asian Family Business and Entrepreneurship Studies at the HKUST Business School and the Asia Business Council.
The eight companies that were selected for case research have more than 360,000 employees and assets of more than USD680 billion collectively. They are headquartered in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, and Vietnam.
Online interviews with key decision makers were conducted in the second half of year 2020. The eight research articles analyzed how the companies responded to the pandemic in their own strategic, innovative, or impactful ways. They also demonstrated their resilience, adaptability and a keen desire to give back to society.
