MichaeL Young Comments:
When I arrived in Asia I decided to record some of the important moments and meetings with new clients, I did not know the reason why, I just felt it important to collect the data since the impact the local environment was having on my creative process’ was immeasurable.
After a chance meeting with academic John Heskett in 2010, it was obvious we were working in parallel – studying how design could impact on the economic growth of brands. I never saw reason to make a classic design book for the coffee table, I wanted to make a useful tool and whilst the contents of this book are not a guide to working in China they will certainly demystify the process. After almost 20 years my first book “works in China”.
