Asian countries and regions. He studied economics in both Eastern and Western Europe, and was a student in London for nine months. Finally, he participated in two month-long case studies where he observed, analyzed and interviewed management at two international business sites: at the Del Monte canning plant in Kenya and the Akzo textiles plant in Ecuador.
