Hardback. Condizione: Fair. Hong Kong's vibrant economic environment attracts business from all over the world. This new study examines topics that interest and touch every key economic sector from the business community to government. What are Hong Kong's strong suits as an economic centre and what are its weak areas? How do certain sectors measure up against other within Hong Kong and their counterparts in other places in the world? Why should a multinational business locate here rather than in Singapore or Tokyo? Is Hong Kong making full use of the resources which constitute its competitive advantage? The Hong Kong Advantage applies the Harvard Business School method for measuring economic competitiveness through an examination of selected industries and key issues, and is the first major economic review of this kind for Hong Kong.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Hong Kong has long held a fascination for travellers, and has been an inspiration to those who lived there. This new collection of writings gives a remarkable insight into Hong Kong's past, with pieces that date as far back as the Song Dynasty and continue to the present day. The sixty extracts are taken from novels, poems, short stories, biographies, letters, postcards, diaries and even speeches - many never published before - and they are illustrated with contemporary photographs and sketches. Writers include Queen Victoria, Jules Verne, Rudyard Kipling, and W. H. Auden, as well as soldiers and sailors, doctors and clergymen, painters and photographers, tourists and travellers, the rich and the poor, Europeans and Chinese. Lord Palmerstone comments in 1844 on the addition to the British Empire, the first settlers describe the difficulties of life in the new colony, late Victorian ladies struggle with the language, heat, and social obligations, and the war years bring letters from the POW camps. Through these passages you will be able to experience Hong Kong and its people, from past to present, in a unique and personal way.…
