Dear Peter,
THE FUTURE OF BRITISH BUSINESS IN HONG KONG
62
Many thanks for your letter of 11 December covering
Terence Kwai's "The Future of British Business in Hong Kong". Jeremy Brown of Matheson sent us a copy a little while ago, but I am grateful to you for the elegantly bound version!
From your letter, Terence Kwai sounds very much as I had imagined him from the way he has written the study. I can understand your qualified enthusiasm. I suppose that it just goes to show that, however good they may otherwise be, the US management schools do not necessarily develop much of an accurate historical perspective! I thought that his factual material on the present state of British business was quite useful - though, as you imply, one could see some of the sources showing through. We will certainly bear in the mind the points you make about it.
Thank you for writing,
Yours
ever
DAVID LOVE
