All businesses change over time, but the pace and nature of change in Asia is truly impressive. Many companies are growing quickly: sometimes organically because of a surging demand for their services, and sometimes through mergers and acquisitions to gain access to new markets. Private equity is also playing a bigger role than ever before in financing Asian business development.

At Hewitt, we're acutely aware that it's not enough simply to keep up with current transformations in Asian business models and current organizational changes. We stay several steps ahead to maintain our leadership on people management issues by offering insights on business trends and future scenarios in HR as an added value to our clients.

It is therefore timely to share in this edition our thoughts on corporate transition and transformation in Asia induced by the impact of private equity, as well as the evolving rewards and compensation structures made more complex by Asia's different stages of economic growth. Next Generation HR takes a look at the drive to make 21st century HR fully integrated into organizations, and fully proactive and focused on providing solutions for businesses.

If you're considering M&A in the heated Asian market, then our story, Merger in Mind, will be of particular interest. It examines how to maintain business momentum and leadership strength during a major organizational change. Other stories include employee relocation within China, and the growing role of HR in the developing and thriving economies of the Middle East.

In this issue, we ask for your time and feedback on Hewitt Quarterly Asia Pacific. This is an essential part of our continuous efforts to deliver quality articles and insights, helping you to meet your business goals and objectives, so please take a moment to complete the readership survey. We look forward to hearing from you.

Enjoy the read.
