KUALA LUMPUR: Non-Asean companies are much more likely to have an Asean-oriented strategy compared with local companies, according to a survey of 170 business leaders running companies in Asean countries.

The poll was conducted for a special report, Re-drawing the Asean Map: How companies are crafting new strategies in South-East Asia, which was launched yesterday by CIMB Group Holdings Bhd in collaboration with the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU).
