Introducing the life and times of a legend in international aviation — Lim Chin Beng — the man they called Mr SIA.Absorbing the life and work of Lim Chin Beng is like watching a fly past of airlines and aircraft old and new. In this book, his past comes to meet you in many forms — designs, shapes, figures, photographs, episodes, places, people and you discover the connections with business, society and international aviation today and into the future. Here's a man who was instrumental in taking the very basic components of a business — like a potter taking the clay — and creating what has become one of the world's leading brands, Singapore Airlines. But this airline 'specialist', trained as an economist, had more jobs to do. His broad range of interests — arts and sports, property and tourism — led to him being called on to do his 'national service' for Singapore. He was Ambassador to Japan for two terms and trade negotiator, chairman of the Singapore Tourism Board, Changi Airport International, Singapore Airshow, Singapore Press Holdings, Ascott Group, and ST Aerospace. Described as a quiet achiever and a visionary, this modest gentleman was not afraid to make bold decisions and take risks, even to the extent of setting up a budget airline, Valuair. Here was one man, who in his time, played many parts, on the world's stage and at home.

Commercial aviation took shape in Hong Kong as the city developed into a powerful economy. Rather than accepting air travel as an inevitability in the era of global mobility, John Wong argues that Hong Kong’s development into a regional and global airline hub was not preordained. By underscoring the shifting process through which this hub emerged, Hong Kong Takes Flight aims to describe globalization and global networks in the making. Viewing the globalization of the city through the prism of its airline industry, Wong examines how policymakers and businesses asserted themselves against international partners and competitors in a bid to accrue socioeconomic benefits, negotiated their interests in Hong Kong’s economic success, and articulated their expressions of modernity.

Dubai International Airport (DXB), Emirates Airlines, and the Burj al-Arab. Changi International Airport (SIN), Singapore Airlines, and Marina Bay Sands. Chek Lap Kok (HGK), Cathay Pacific, and The Peninsula Hotel. Kingsford Smith (SYD), Qantas Airlines, and the Wentworth Hotel. What do these collective entities have in common? Not only do they link global air hubs with city-centric long-haul airlines and destination-worthy hotels, but they are the product of a distinct strategy to boost tourism development through the synergies created by aviation development. This volume explores the evolution of tourism development through synergies created by airline, airport, and hotel development in the Persian Gulf (namely Dubai); Southeast Asia (primarily Singapore); and East Asia (mainly Hong Kong) during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. These "hubs" included, but went beyond traditional models of hotel development as models for economically viable tourism programs, particularly after World War II. The book also examines how such systems integrated travelers, airlines, and airports in Australasia and Europe, while at the same time competing with imperial systems of airport and airline development. This book illuminates the strategies behind and competition between cities during the current century for air traffic, tourists, and airlines transiting between Europe, Southeast Asia, and Australasia.

隨著香港發展成為強大的經濟體，商業航空逐漸成型。王迪安博士認為香港能夠發展成為區域及全球航空業樞紐並非全球流動時代的必然結果。《香港振翅》一書探討香港如何轉變成為航空業樞紐，旨在敘述源於亞洲間及區域結構的全球化，以及全球網絡成形的過程。 作者以航空業的角度審視香港的全球化，並探討香港政策制定者與商界人士如何與國際合作夥伴和競爭對手，在各自維護自身利益的前提下，努力尋找機會，以期獲得社會經濟效益，而且就著香港的經濟成功，協商他們之間的利益，並清楚地表達了他們對現代性的看法。 「此書是一本合時的著作，開拓了香港歷史中極其重要但卻缺乏研究的課題。作者闡述了香港如何成為二十世紀下半葉的航空樞紐，並揭示這過程與不斷變化的區域政治、經濟及日益加劇的全球化的互動。市場不乏標題中包含『全球』和『香港』的研究，但據我所知，這是第一個把這兩個方向明確聯繫起來的嚴謹學術研究。作者從世界各地搜羅了不同的檔案資料，以生動的方法，將許多鮮為人知的故事編織在一起。」 —畢可思教授，布里斯托大學 「王迪安博士在本書中詳述了香港在港英政府時期商業空運發展的精彩故事。他亦提醒我們，香港全球樞紐的地位並非命中注定，而是經營及塑造出來的。」 —單國鉞教授，英屬哥倫比亞大學 「香港從亞洲的一個主要海港發展成為全球航空樞紐，並非理所必然的。香港政府及其以敏捷著稱的企業家，利用歷史和地理環境的機遇，塑造了一個國際航空中心。王迪安博士清楚並詳細地揭示了香港如何成為全球航空樞紐，並說明了這樞紐如何重塑香港人的身份與利益。」 —杜贊奇教授，杜克大學

Singapore Airlines (SIA) is widely acknowledged as one of the world's leading airlines, if not the best airline, globally. This book provides insights into a simple but intriguing question: How has SIA managed to outperform other flag-carriers for decades in an industry where it is notoriously difficult to succeed consistently? This updated second edition of Flying High in a Competitive Industry begins with an analysis of the airline industry and its key trends, moving on to a broad outline of SIA's strategic drivers of success. Empirical research was conducted at SIA to gain a deeper understanding of its strategy, core competencies and internal organisation, innovation processes and human resource practices, in order to instill strategy lessons that can inform the strategies of any organisation competing in intensely competitive industries. This book ends with some strategic lessons that apply to any organisation that aims to achieve sustainable success in hypercompetitive markets.

WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY BILL GATES In this warm, insightful portrait of the Winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965, we see the wisdom, humour and curiosity of Richard Feynman through a series of conversations with his friend Ralph Leighton. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965, Richard Feynman was one of the world's greatest theoretical physicists, but he was also a man who fell, often jumped, into adventure. An artist, safecracker, practical joker and storyteller, Feynman's life was a series of combustible combinations made possible by his unique mixture of high intelligence, unquenchable curiosity and eternal scepticism. Over a period of years, Feynman's conversations with his friend Ralph Leighton were first taped and then set down as they appear here, little changed from their spoken form, giving a wise, funny, passionate and totally honest self-portrait of one of the greatest men of our age.
