Introduction

Asia and the Middle East are two of the most fascinating and rapidly developing regions of the world, creating challenges and offering opportunities for the 21st century. By 2050:

  • Close to 60% of the world’s consumers will live in the region;
  • China will be a real superpower;
  • Hindi, Urdu, and Arabic will dominate much of the world business;
