BAM as an Effective Strategy in Urban Asia: Reaching a Tipping Point
by Francis Tsui
>> Read Part 1, How Business has Transformed Nations and Lifted People Out of Poverty in China and East Asia
Continuing from Part 1, this article explores BAM as an effective mission strategy for missional impact in urban Asia, especially as we aim to reach a tipping point for macro impact through BAM companies.

Early in my career (Joe), I was hired to lead a bilingual global congress that spanned five continents. It was a challenge to keep such a diverse leadership group together. Some wanted us to emphasize planning, while others insisted on keeping vision front and center. Most members of the leadership group brought an ethnocentric point of view to bear, while those who had worked cross-culturally pushed toward a broader frame of reference.

By Joseph W. Handley, Jr.
Polycentric—Why? And, what’s that?1
