Economic growth in Asia over the past half century has led to significant changes in societies, business organization and the nature of work. This has been accompanied by the rise in some countries of trade unions and also of employers' associations. This book explores the nature of employers' associations in the major countries of Asia. It considers how employers' associations have developed in recent decades, how changes in market structures and the profile of economies have affected employers' associations, how employers' associations deal with issues to do with pay and employment conditions, and how they interact with regulation and the state. The book shows how the differing political and institutional contexts of different countries, and different economic conditions, greatly affect the nature of employers' associations and also the wider context of labour markets and trade unions.

Bezeichnen die Bläser die Streicher oft schon als "Tuttischweine, so genießen die Bratscher besonderen Spott: heruntergekommene zweite Geiger oder "verhinderte Geiger und so fort. Und der Bratscher selbst? Zum Glück entspricht seine Persönlichkeit dem warmen tragenden Klang seines Instruments; er besitzt große innere Ruhe, zeigt wahre Gelassenheit und somit auch Humor: Er hört die Witze über sich nicht nur mit verzeihendem Lächeln an - nein, er gibt sie sogar weiter oder erfindet eigene! Die Herausgeber dieses Bändchens sind der lebende Beweis hierfür. Einen Witz? Ein Bratscher hat an einem Selbsterfahrungskurs teilgenommen und will seine Probleme jetzt aktiv angehen. Er betritt ein Geschäft und verlangt eine "wirklich sehr gute Violine. Verkäufer: "Spielen Sie lieber weiter auf ihrer Bratsche. Bratscher: Wieso wissen Sie, dass... Verkäufer: "Hier gibt's nur Pommes!
