THE ABCS OF MAKING MONEY
Painless Strategies for Ordinary People to Create Extraordinary Wealth
Denis Cauvier and Alan Lysaght
This is the first book to take the simple “ABC approach” to the psychology
behind making money and translate it into an easy-to-understand guide to
saving money and creating wealth for the average person. The book examines
the reader’s faulty attitudes to making money – the “A” part of the ABCs. Once
these roadblocks are confronted and understood, and only then, are the
readers able to move on to the relatively simple steps toward wealth creation.
This book offers a one-stop approach that teaches the reader how to develop
money-making attitudes, behaviors, and creations.

SUN ZI ART OF WAR
An Illustrated Translation with Asian Perspectives
and Insights
Chow-Hou Wee
While many people have quoted from and analyzed the
Art of War, there are very few translated books that
accurately capture the tremendous wisdom embedded
in the treatise. This book is different in several ways from
almost all other books currently in the market.
First, the hanyu pinyin form of each Chinese character is
included to assist readers to recognize and pronounce
them. Second, notes have been used generously to
explain the more difficult and confusing Chinese words
and their possible usage. Third, besides explaining the
contextual usage and meaning, explanatory notes have

been used for other important purposes. Fourth, cross-
referencing to other key points in the various chapters of
Sun Zi Bingfa has been used. Finally, a commentary is
provided at the end of each chapter. This serves as a
summary of the salient points in each chapter, while
providing interesting insight into some of the concepts
and ideas propounded by Sun Zi.

between the East and the West, Prof Wee walks the reader

SUN TZU WAR & MANAGEMENT
Chow-Hou Wee, Khai-Sheang Lee, and Bambang Walujo
Hidajat
The idea of an analogy between the world of business
and that of the battlefield is not a novel one. Indeed,
various studies relating the application of military strategies
to business practices have been undertaken. It is proposed
in this book that the achievement of Sun Tzu’s Art of War
transcends the military context and offers the basis for an
insight into the nature of modern business practices. This
book will attempt to unlock the nature of this analogy by
attempting to examine in a systematic way the extent to
which business practices are capable of being described
and understood in the language of war, and the
implications that may arise as a result of this enquiry.
About the Co-Authors
Khai-Sheang Lee holds a PhD from the University of Toronto.
He has published and lectured extensively on the
application of both the art (Sun Zi’s Art of War) and the
science (game theory) of strategic thinking to marketing.

Bambang Walujo Hidajat holds an MBA from Baylor
University. He is the author of several articles published in
reputable journals and has extensive corporate experience
in multinational corporations.
THE INSPIRATIONS OF TAO ZHU-
GONG
Modern Business Lessons from an Ancient Past
Chow-Hou Wee
This book discusses the 12 business principles of Tao Zhu-
Gong and relates them to today’s corporate setting. They
state 12 vital abilities that one will need in order to succeed
in business. This book also demonstrates their relevance
to any business size from sundry shops to international
corporations to dot-com companies.
Tao Zhu-Gong, himself, was a great military strategist who
resigned from the high position of a Prime Minister to
become a businessman. Using what he had learnt from
his military days, he accumulated a fortune that would
be equivalent in modern times to that of Bill Gates’.
Whether in the East or the West, every businessman will
have much insight to gain from the 12 business principles
of Tao Zhu-Gong.

THE 36 STRATEGIES OF THE
CHINESE
Adapting Ancient Chinese Wisdom to the Business
World
Chow-Hou Wee and Lan Luh Luh

Without doubt, China is becoming a stronger economic
power by the day. Thus, it is imperative that we learn to
better understand the Chinese psyche, especially in the
realm of business. Despite its modernization and entry into
the free market economy, China’s 5,000 years of history,
culture, and value systems still dominate the way Chinese
think and behave. Confusion ethics, Taoist influences, and
other ancient Chinese classics still form valid reference
points for understanding Chinese behavior.
The “Thirty-Six Strategies” are well-known to the Chinese
and are frequently applied in business practices. Though
widely known and applied by the Chinese, these strategies
are less familiar to others. Even less-known is their strong
applicability to business. This book attempts to bridge this
gap of understanding between the East and other cultures
of the world. It seeks to provide a timely insight into the
mind of the Chinese strategist. An essential read for those
who wish to grasp the powerful background of rich culture,
tradition, and value system that form the Chinese psyche.
About the Co-Author
Lan Luh Luh is a lecturer in NUS Business School, National
University of Singapore. She teaches law and finance to
both undergraduates and MBA students of the faculty.
She publishes extensively, both in professional and
academic journals.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE – THAT
WORKS!
Neil Cowan
The way companies are directed and controlled – that’s
corporate governance. But really, corporate governance
is about the way people behave – corporately and
individually – and it is about the relationships between
companies, their directors and employees, and the wider
stakeholder community.
Corporate Governance – That Works! brings together the
best of world-wide corporate governance practice in a
non-academic, easy-to-read way which provides an up-
to-date text for everyone to enjoy. Codes, regulations, and
legislation in the field are referred to but in the context of
making corporate governance a practical reality rather
than a theoretical study. Directors, managers, auditors, and
everyone interested in making corporate bodies more
responsive to the stakeholder interest will find this book a
must-have for their business libraries.
Corporate governance is neither regional nor parochial in
nature. It is of global provenance. This book, although
catering for the Asia Pacific interest, is world-wide in nature
and benchmarks not just best practice, but the best
approach to achieving a reasonable return on the
investment needed to achieve good corporate
governance.
About the Author

COST CUTTING: BESIDES STAFF,
WHAT ELSE?
Richard Wong
Many cost cutting initiatives begin from trimming staff.
Though this could generate significant cost savings, the
drawback is normally the loss of valuable staff experience
and loyalty.
Cost saving is easier said than done. Most organizations
and companies prefer the bitter way of cutting staff as
the only solution. Few companies possess the knowledge
and expertise to alternate cost reduction approaches,
as Richard so cleverly and successfully implements. His 20
years of experience in productivity and process
improvement counter the many technical aspects of cost
cutting, and ultimately provides a balanced approach
in this easy-to-understand book.
About the Author
Richard Wong has over 20 years of experience in cost
cutting and is specialized in overhead reduction. Prior to
his consulting practice, he worked for a number of blue
chip giants in the manufacturing, telecommunication,

and financial sectors, mainly responsible for introducing
and monitoring effective cost reduction and control
programs. Richard is also a frequent speaker for senior
executive seminars on expenses reduction and is the
President of the Operational Research Society of Hong
Kong.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
An Asia Pacific Perspective
Andrew Delios and Paul Beamish
International Business: An Asia Pacific Perspective
provides a unique exploration of the topic of
international business. It examines decisions relevant
to managers in internationalizing and multinational
firms operating in the Asia Pacific. Its uniqueness stems
from the cutting-edge conceptual material that
underlies the decision-making frameworks in the text
and in the numerous Asian company examples and
illustrations. Users of this text examine such essential
topics as the measurement and analysis of the cultural,
political, and economic dimensions of the international
environment; the formation of internationalization
strategies, including entry mode choice and strategic

alliances; the analysis of the competitive implications
of multinational firms and business groups; multinational,
subsidiary and expatriate management; and the
management of ethical issues.
