TL;DR: The Global Leadership Network (GLN) is a self-assessment where companies rank to what extent they engage stakeholders and define issues material to their business, how citizenship factors into their business strategies, and whether or not they are getting the kind of leadership needed to move their citizenship agenda forward as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: When companies join the Global Leadership Network, they complete a selfassessment where they rank to what extent they engage stakeholders and define issues material to their business, how citizenship factors into their business strategies, and whether or not they are getting the kind of leadership needed to move their citizenship agenda forward. They also rate themselves along four, fundamental, blocking-and-tackling-type issues: Does the company employ its core management systems and processes to manage corporate citizenship? Are business units, managers, and employees responsible and accountable for economic, social, and environmental performance? Has the company built competencies and skill levels to manage citizenship effectively? Are there measures and evaluation processes to determine the effectiveness of citizenship in the company? Faced with these kinds of questions, one manager pictured the way her company was handling the demands of corporate citizenship as a disintegrated array of programs, handled by corporate staff groups, and largely disconnected from one another (see Figure 10.1).

TL;DR: In this paper, Fidler, Kim and Ganguly refer to a new East-driven world order, and suggest that material power may give Asian nations the space to engage in global politics not as longsuffering victims of imperialism but as global leaders with strong views on sovereignty, opposed to outside interference in their domestic governance and political affairs.
Abstract: The following remarks made by Palitha Kohona, Sri Lankan foreign secretary, when referring to China’s relationship with Sri Lanka provide a taste of existing perceptions of small Asian countries vis-a-vis their neighbours versus Western players: The new donors are neighbours; they are rich; and they conduct themselves differently. Asians don’t go around teaching each other how to behave. There are ways we deal with each other — perhaps a quiet chat, but not wagging the finger.1 This chapter opens the third part of this book, which addresses regional approaches to external involvement in Asia. First, I start by providing some theoretical background on regionalism and regional hegemony to explain how this fits into the broader debate on external involvement addressed in the second chapter. Second, I deal with the contextual aspect linked to the Asian region, the current regional power shifts and their implications. The emphasis is on the growing material and normative power of a rising China and, to a lesser extent, India. The normative differences between Asian and Western countries are compounded by the rise in the material power of emerging Asian countries and the continuing decline of Western countries’ overall political influence in the global South. Fidler, Kim and Ganguly refer to ‘Eastphalia’, a new East-driven world order, and suggest that ‘material power may give Asian nations the space to engage in global politics not as long-suffering victims of imperialism but as global leaders with strong views on sovereignty, opposed to outside interference in their domestic governance and political affairs’.2

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the current marketing strategies of healthcare providers and intermediaries through interviews with stakeholders and observation, and propose effective marketing strategies for preserving and enhancing Thailand's position as a leading medical tourism destination.
Abstract: Thailand is considered to be among the global leaders in the medical tourism market which has grown rapidly in recent years but has faced formidable competition from Singapore, India and other countries. This exploratory research was intended to evaluate the current marketing strategies of healthcare providers and intermediaries through interviews with stakeholders and observation, and to propose effective marketing strategies for preserving and enhancing Thailand's position as a leading medical tourism destination. The paper identifies the strengths of Thailand's healthcare service providers and points to a number of problems that may reduce the growth opportunity of this industry. These include lack of practical government policies with regard to medical tourism and of other supporting regulations, lack of organization as a cooperation centre aimed at promoting the medical tourism industry as a whole, remaining low awareness of the opportunities presented by the industry among potentialfbreign patients, and a shortage of doctors and qualified medical staff. Measures for improvement are suggested.
