Abstract

Asia Pacific represents the most diverse region in the world, with more than fifty different countries, languages, regulations, currencies, and significant cultural nuances. In addition, it has possessed the fastest-growing economy in the world over the last two decades. In this context, companies doing business in this region must learn to structure their growth and reduce their risks in this complex environment. The rise of shared service organizations over the same period of time has been a key solution to this context.

In the Asia Pacific region, Malaysia has emerged as a major location for operating shared service organizations. The country presents unique attributes, including the coexistence of almost all Asian languages, high-quality education, growing skills, and a strong willingness from the government to attract foreign investments. This book provides rich insights into the principal aspects of shared service organizations in Asia Pacific, particularly in Malaysia, covering the fundamentals, key frameworks, and new trends.
