A new book called Making a Fortune: Learning from the Asian Phenomenon has just been published by Wiley. Written by Dr Spinder Dhaliwal, a Lecturer in Entrepreneurship at Surrey University and author of the Asian Rich List in the Eastern Eye magazine, the book reveals the Asian businesses at the cutting edge of the entrepreneurial community.

It includes first, second and third generation achievers and tells the stories of household brand names from Cobra Beer to eBookers, to Joe Bloggs fashion.
