Asia/Pacific - Regional Vice-President's Message

China and India Drive Global Demand

The continued growth of the Chinese and Indian economies has been the dominant force for several years, affecting not only the Asia-Pacific region, but the whole world. With no signs of slowing down, it is critical for companies and their management teams to plan ahead with the consequences of these forces in mind. Companies expanding into new markets, or initiating projects to service the demand being generated by those markets, must have experienced executives to lead and manage their businesses. Along with the very public impact of higher commodity prices, significant effects are also being felt on the supply and demand for management talent. This is evident in China and India as well as many other countries around the region.

As referenced in our International Chairman’s message, mature economies such as Japan, Australia and New Zealand must also consider the effects of generational change as ‘baby boomers’ start to retire. Seeing as how ‘good’ people are going to be in short supply for several years to come, the recruitment and retention of key managers have become exceptionally important issues for companies operating in the Asia-Pacific region.

With offices in all the major centres in the region, Stanton Chase is well placed to partner with your company as you seek to address these critical issues.
