First-hand Perspectives on the Global Economy
In this special report, students from the Joseph H. Lauder Institute of Management & International
Studies provide analysis of some of the most tantalizing economic, business and technology
developments around the world.
The articles offer new perspectives on the ever-changing global economy, including the growth of
consumer markets in Brazil, Egypt and China, and the impact of the crisis on French luxury goods. The
green economy’s growth worldwide is captured in articles on organic products in Germany, solar energy
in Senegal and Japan’s eco-tech industry. The rise of the Russian gambling industry, sustainable tourism
in Egypt and high-end gastronomy in Spain illustrate new frontiers in the leisure business. China’s
coming of age is captured in articles on the development of its venture capital and mutual fund
industries, enhanced awareness of social corporate responsibility, and the growth of second- and third tier
cities. New developments in infrastructure and financial services are reflected in pieces on the
mobile Internet in Latin America, the rise to prominence of Spanish infrastructure management
companies, and a new form of transparent, customer-driven banking.
Taken together, the 16 articles offer perspectives on a range of dynamic economies and identify existing
opportunities for conducting business within specific cultural, political and institutional contexts. The
articles are part of the Lauder Global Business Insight program.

Apologies for long delay!
Hi all, many apologies for not writing for so long as I have been buried with all the developments at hand. What have I been up to? I have finally completed the acquisition of the North Bridge Complex, started a new asset management company to manage the real estate assets under the group and I just became the Chairman of a listed company, Shun Thai in Bangkok.
All these new developments in the last 4 plus months! In the meantime, the education side is preparing for the paradigm in the education sector in Singapore. I am doing all these under the ERC lines of business. So I really, really beg for your forgiveness that I have not up to date with my postings.... more

The Chinese are coming! Buy!
When I write, I write! I’m back folks. Just back from my China trip and I’m so happy to have my bak chor mee again. I guess I am just a old fashioned Singapore boy.
It was such an arduous trip with many interesting events. Our friends in China had to prohibit my female colleagues from participating in a couple of events and all I can say is I am happy to get out intact.
The Chinese are so hungry and innovative, so much so that w better be on our guard. I had always to visit Wenzhou where some of the world’s greatest entrepreneurs reside. Even the famed Shanghai businessmen have to take their hats off to them. They are fearless and their camaraderie spirit is amazing....more

To do or not to do!
It has been a series of firsts for me in the last few months. I recently became the Chairman of a listed firm In Bangkok and bought my first building. All these events are unfolding hard and fast.
I have always wanted to share with everyone how a turnaround of a company is executed. I have turned around quite a few firms but I have never attempted a public company. It will be interesting to see how everything develops. Shun Thai is a rubber products maker with manufacturing capabilities in Rayong. With the further development of our commodities real estate arm, getting them back on track is a logical solution. However, if I were to totally turn it around, it will mean taking time off from the existing ERC Group which has been growing by leaps and bounds.... more

Don’t sweat the small things to make it in life.
I am in high spirits today! This is despite a cab driver scratching my Maserati, which was of course painful. I am think in life, we often lose focus of what is important. Sure I was very upset that my car was scratched, but what came after that made my day even more.
The first incident. I was thinking of Robin, one of my students from 3 maybe 4 years back. He emailed me to get together a couple of weeks ago but I was flying so much that I could not commit. I have a little time next week so I wanted to catch up with him. Immediately after I sent off the email, my PA gave me a package. It contained the latest issue of Prestige magazine where Robin was featured. It chronicles him as a young successful gentleman who has made his mark in the bath accessories industry at the tender age of 29.He was very kind to mention me as a source of inspiration.... more

Passion is everything but maintaining it is tough!
I am on a plane writing this blog message after a tiring business trip. Sometimes, I really wonder what the heck am I doing working so hard when I can take life a little easier. This trip was a 3 city tour of duty again. I really wish ERC’s next generation of leaders can take a certain level of load off me.
It has been 6, 7 years since I decided to impart the knowledge bestowed on me by people far smarter than me. I have absorbed what they taught me and I am grateful as the knowledge has been life changing. Using that knowledge has enabled me to enrich and change my life. From starting businesses successfully to investing for maximum capital appreciation, I have benefitted tremendously.... more

A Life Changing Decision!
I have decided that I need to move on. This is quite a momentous occasion for me. In the last few years, I am so happy to make quite a few friends and along the way, I have encountered unpleasant people but that is life. It can never be a bed of roses. But that is what makes life interesting as well. In the last 10 odd years, I have grown our real estate, education and other businesses into forces to be reckoned with. We have acquired land, buildings and our business plays are quite admired by our peers.
After contemplating for the last few days, I have decided to lessen my personal sharing with the general public and devote more time to the businesses I have acquired over the years. I will continue to teach at the current pace for one more year and after that, I will just share with our long term academic students. This will mean I have more time to do a lot more stuff, like actually settling down and getting married. LONG OVERDUE!...more

I want to party!!
I feel relieved! My decision to teach just one more year has really rejuvenated me! There is light at the end of the tunnel! Just one more year of teaching to go!
Actually I quite like the teaching but it’s the previews that I hate. Lots of skeptics as there are heck a lot of other less credible players around. I don’t blame them but you only have to look at what we have built to judge us. Any other yardstick is pointless. This who can actually go and do it!....more

Where are the markets headed?
Hi guys! Many of you have asked me what is happening in the investment markets now. So Ihave decided to split my blog in two sections. One about starting businesses and related stuff. The other will just be pure investments focused.
The stock and property markets seems to in a limbo at the moment. Good news on the domestic front with GDP growth forecasts of 9 to 11 percent is giving cheer. But the European economies, especially Greece and the other PIIG countries, are making people worried....... more

2) 5 emerging economic opportunities in 2009
3) Strategies that corporate leaders should adopt

personal goals
Mr Andy Ong, CEO of ERC Holdings, is well known of his enthusiasm of wealth creation and predicting trends. Dr Veeda Maraj, Academic Director of ERC Institute, is well known for her presentation skills and skills on leadership. A combination of them makes a perfect team for the workshop.
The participants were very pleased after attending the three hours workshop.
After the event, the participants had a time to network among themselves, sharing their thoughts and experience with each other while helping themselves with the snacks provided.
A student shared with us on his comments of this event; “Thank you for having us at the CEO forum last evening. Mr Andy and Dr. Veera are impressive. You got me to ‘wake-up’ again and be more focus. Current financial crisis is tough but am glad to hear of your V-curve prediction. Just want to thank you and hope to see you more.”

Making it Right: ERCI to Help Affected Brookes Students
The fraudulent activities resulting in the closure of Brookes Business School has affected and impacted on not only students, but the private education industry in Singapore significantly. As a member of the Association of Private Schools & Colleges (APSC), ERC Institute endorses and supports APSC’s and the Government’s policy on maintaining/improving the professionalism, quality and ethical standards of the industry and denounces the gross misconduct of Brookes Business School to everyone, particularly the students.
ERC Institute sympathizes with the situation facing Brookes Business School students. To assist those affected students by the closure of Brookes Business School, ERC Institute, through our association with APSC, has volunteered to assist with the reallocation of Brookes Business School students, to ensure that they are still able to continue their learning journey and achieve their academic objectives. As a result of our commitment and willingness to assist, as well as being a professionally and academically rigorous SQC PEO, ERC Institute was amongst the select 5 private education institutes invited by APSC to assist affected students and deploy them to other private schools so as to enable them to continue and complete their studies.
Through our participation into this committee, ERC Institute pledges to provide the necessary equitable assistance to affected students by:
1. Evaluating and assessing their academic needs on a case-by-case basis
2. Providing affected students with the opportunity to study a first diploma/degree at ERC Institute for free.
To date, ERC Institute has assisted in the relocation of some 40 affected students to continue their education at ERC Institute for free. We believe that our assistance to these students has helped them to better cope, financially and academically with the unfortunate situation that they are in.
ERC Institute takes this opportunity to stress our commitment towards improving the private education industry in Singapore. We are advocates for professional and ethical behavior, strong corporate governance, integrity and social responsibility to be upheld by private schools & colleges in Singapore to ensure sustainable long-term growth in line with the Government’s policy to encourage Singapore in becoming an education hub.
ERC Institute would also like to extend our assistance to any other affected students at Brookes Business School, and strongly encourage them to contact any of our consultants as soon as possible for free evaluation and placement into ERC Institute.
