Deputy CEO of THP Group Shares Insights on How to Compete with Giants and Take on Multinationals
NEW YORK, Sept. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Second generation Asian businesswoman, Ph??ng Uyên Tr?n, Deputy CEO of THP Group, today announced the publication of Competing with Giants: How One Family-Owned Company Took on the Multinationals and Won (available now ? on Amazon.com). The book is published with ForbesBooks, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes Media.
Two billion, five hundred million dollars. That is the amount of money Ph??ng Tr?n's father, business mogul Dr. Tr?n Quí Thanh, walked away from in 2012 when Coca-Cola offered to acquire a controlling interest in their family business, Vietnamese THP Beverage Group. Watching her father turn down a sum of money most could never dream to see was an event that shaped Tr?n's entire business philosophy from that day forward.
Companies like Tr?n's are rewriting the global business rules that Western multinationals have been operating on for decades. In her captivating book, Competing with Giants, Tr?n weaves business advice from her father with her own insights into a rich tapestry that tells the story of not only one company, but the quickly changing global business landscape.
"The world the next generation inherits will be more connected and more multinational than any time in human history. There is only one thing we can all be sure of, and that's the world will be what we collectively make it," said Tr?n.
Ph??ng's message is an empowering one. As we move into an increasingly globalized world, businesses in the East and West will learn from one another other. And when small companies marry their local knowledge and with international business ideas, they can hold their own and even outflank giant global corporations.
Ph??ng's wise and conversational tone in Competing with Giants, is that of a trusted mentor, someone a few steps ahead on the path. Her story asks readers to dream bigger and understand what is necessary to actualize those dreams. Throughout the book, Ph??ng reminds us of the adages of her father, specifically that, "nothing is impossible."
The book Competing with Giants is now available for purchase on Amazon.com.
