Why Not? The Story of a Retail Maverick and Courts - Thryft

Retail transformation made possible by strong leadership.

"Why Not?" would be a great read for business enthusiasts who are interested in learning about Southeast Asian markets. It is an excellent story of how a company can shift and adapt over time while still maintaining its core values and keeping pace with the ever-changing market. Terry O'Connor's leadership is commendable, and his insights into business in Southeast Asia make the book even more compelling.
