Real Estate Investment in Asia Pacific: Migrating Capital
KPMG | 2008 | English | PDF | 70 pages | 4 MB
Property investment has emerged as an asset class, but it remains difficult to access and is often beset by complex structures and regulation. The factors governing investment decisions differ greatly from one market to another.
Developed jurisdictions such as Australia, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore all have well defined and strictly governed real estate markets, often competing to attract investment from institutional investors with an Asian property mandate. The other end of the spectrum sees frontier markets such as Vietnam, China and India closely studying regulatory frameworks in the rest of the region as a guide to establish their own viable marketplace for international real estate investors.

Many would–be software entrepreneurs with expertise in many fields attempt to turn a homegrown application—one developed for use in their own business or profession—into a commercial product. Lack of knowledge, experience, or skills often prevents the idea from ever taking shape, let alone achieving its potential. Entering a new field to start a business leaves many developers unprepared and not even fully aware it’s something they know so little about. They will also often have a job that conflicts with the time commitment required to market the program well enough for it to become a complete success.

Stanford University Press |2008|ISBN 978-0-8047-5963-2 | English | 28 pages | PDF | 1.2 MB
Sustainable Value is divided into three parts. Part I is a management fable about Deena, a young CEO, and the challenges she faces to profitably address her company’s impacts on society and the environment. Her story is one of personal empowerment, of finding balance and connection to what is important in life. It’s also a tale of corporate profit and growth.
What makes Deena’s story unique is that her eventual success—personal, financial, and corporate—is the result of “doing good.” She is a talented but ordinary human being who demonstrates leadership in a time of heightened global problems ranging from poverty to the energy crisis and climate change.
