Asian universities are beginning to do what has long been practiced in the West: offer short courses specifically for women who are leaders in business and politics. While the business schools at Harvard, Oxford, Stanford and others have established courses for female executives, such offerings are just starting to make their mark in Asia.

Participation costs $10,000, and the course covers strategic leadership, stock exchange regulations, conflict resolution and ethics.
