Description
Summary:Robert Kuok is a prominent Malaysian entrepreneur and the founder of the Kuok Group. He has led the Kuok Group to become one of Asia's most dynamic multinational conglomerates, with publicly listed companies scattered across Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia, complemented by a web of privately held companies. However, in 2023, the 100-year-old patriarch had yet to publicly announce a succession plan. The Kuok Group companies across Asia are run by a variety of family members. Having started two families, Robert Kuok's children from two wives, as well as his nephew and other relatives, need to figure out how to run a complex empire while coordinating a complex family clan. Can it work without a clearly communicated succession plan? The fate of thousands of investors, employees, and other stakeholders depends upon it.
