Businessman and Chairman of the Asia Taskforce, Mark van Dyck, says now is the time to set a hairy, audacious goal to lift Australian export trade to the growth regions in Asia. He talks to Helen Brown what business can do to make it happen.

“For better or worse, one of our strategic decisions that we took five or six years ago was not to go heavy into China.”

Bisnis Asia interviews a university student on his experience being a white person born in Japan. From cultural isolation to a struggle to love AFL, student Elian Thiele-Evans reveals all.

It’s often said that Australia’s proximity to Asia gives it an advantage for doing business in the region. However a set mindset and lack of cultural capability means the opportunity is slipping away.

“So there’s often a business case where there’s an opportunity in Asia and a small team actually starts working. And then there are some initial failures, but we don’t progress past failures very well, to actually realize the opportunity.”

Here at the Bisnis Asia Insight podcast we think good business relationships, aside from creating jobs and income, also promote smarter and more genuine regional neighbours. This podcast picks the issues around that.

Given Australia’s proximity to the Asia, and its strong trading ties in commodities and resources, you would think that Australian business would have an edge when it comes to developing business. However that’s not the case, with many executives deficient in the skills required, and ignorant of the true opportunity.
