Download or read book The Taipan written by Deke Rivers and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hit man is a rare species in the human race. How and why does someone become a hit man? The Taipan: The Professional is the story of one hit man from birth to retirement. Learn of his early life in Rotterdam, Germany, his introduction and reasons why he chose this profession, as well as why he was successful. Why was this man so special in this unique trade and why did law enforcement fear him so much? What set him apart from all the others? The Taipan was born into extreme poverty. His birth was not acknowledged and he was a lost soul in the slums. Deserted by his parents, his only option was to become a survivor. Despite all the negatives, he did survive to become the notorious Taipan, the invisible hit man. His training with the German underworld, his term in Africa as a mercenary soldier, his self-taught education, his ingenuity and his meticulous methods made him a force feared by law enforcement organizations around the world, because they knew he existed, but could never catch him. Despite his profession, he did have a heart and three women played a major influence in his life. Finally, why did the hit man retire?

Download or read book Chinese Entrepreneurship and Asian Business Networks written by Thomas Menkhoff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The degree to which the extensive business networks of ethnic Chinese in Asia succeed because of ethnic characteristics, or simply because of the sound application of good business practice, is a key question of great current concern to those interested in business, management and economic development in Asia. This book brings together a range of leading experts who present original new research findings and important new thinking on this vital subject. Based on rich empirical research data and a multidisciplinary explanatory framework, this book assesses the role, characteristics and challenges of Chinese entrepreneurship and business networks in various East and Southeast Asian countries: the People's Republic of China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Australia. Chinese Entrepreneurship and Asian Business Networks demonstrates that Chinese network capitalism is contingent upon, for example, time, place, institutional frameworks, and that explanatory approaches of Chinese economic behaviour which stress culture and ethnicity are too simplistic.

Book excerpt: Gerald Segal’s last published paper ‘Does China Matter?’ made a considerable splash, and had he lived, it is certain that he would have followed it up with a book. This new volume honours his memory and takes forward his project, bringing together ten leading writers on China to reassess his argument. This book opens with an detailed assessment of Dr Segal’s contribution, and a reprint of the article. The rest of the chapters address the question of ‘does China matter?’ by focusing separately on both the global and Asian dimensions of China’s presence, and on the military, political, economic and cultural aspects of its capabilities and activities. They provide an extension and critique of Segal’s work in the context of an authoritative up-to-date and forward looking evaluation of China’s prospects. Segal’s question remains central to world politics. This essential book sets out a detailed case for exactly how, why and to whom China matters.
