4. Big faux-pas when doing business in Asia
5. How to build trust amongst your local staff
6. When to push western values and when to accept local values
7. Anonymous feedback in Asia
8. When you fire somebody in Asia, you don’t fire one person
9. The advantages of doing business in Asia as a foreigner
10. Should you ‘go native’ as a foreigner in Asia
