Description
From the brokerage house of Thomson & McKinnon in New York City to the chairmanship of Singapore's Housing and Development Board, Hsuan Owyang's remarkable career has taken him to the top of several institutions and earned him the Meritorious Service Medal from the Singapore government in 1993.
The poor cannot depend on others for help. This was the sobering lesson a war-torn China instilled in young Hsuan Owyang-the reality of financial security in a pragmatic world. And so when Harvard Business School challenged him with a rigorous business education, offering the prospect of future success, he accepted. Today, almost fifty years later, Hsuan Owyang spearheads one of the most successful housing programmes in the world, with 86 per cent of Singapore's population living in housing estates built by the Housing and Development Board.
Hsuan Owyang draws on his extensive experience in investment and management to impart practical advice on entering and staying ahead in the business world. He demystifies investment strategies and shares his secrets of leadership, including keys to delegation, succession, globalisation and crisis management.
He is also chairman of the East Asian Institute, a think tank that researches East Asian economic development. A longtime China-watcher, he provides an informed perspective of East-West relations and of a rising China.
