If investors and accountants can concur on the degree of disclosure that is morally right we may come to some global agreement on what constitutes corruption – but to do this we have to bring together those who advocate profit-making with those who see this as usury; and we have to care for the future in novel ways – unknown in the past – so as to allow firms to be locally inefficient (apparently) while preserving the environment. This book looks widely at the prevailing situation in Asia and considers how little some governments are doing to guide their institutions towards probity and transparency.

The Chinese character Yi really refers to three aspects of change ; firstly, the abiding change in nature, as in the progression of birth, growth and death. Then amidst the tumultuous changes in and around us, there is the principle of constant, which is as enduring as the daily sunrise and sunset. Finally, Yi also means easy, which is the feeling the enlightened person gets about life when he is able to discern the changing and the constant , hence reducing the complexities of life to simplicity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32123153547377,"sku":"9789812295101","price":13.5,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/0041\/products\/I_Ching_Management_Mastering_Chinese_Business_Wisdom_by_Dr_Joseph_Wong_and_Wee_Seng_Heng_00.jpg?v=1602759631"},{"product_id":"leading-entrepreneurs-and-how-they-succeed","title":"Leading Entrepreneurs and How They Succeed","description":"\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Singapore, SMEs are a vital part of the economy, yet little is known of the many leaders whose vision, acumen and hard work have such a far reaching impact.
