As Asian communities across the globe gear up for the festivities, the Year of the Dragon symbolizes good fortune and prosperity. It holds a storied history that extends beyond cultural boundaries, with Western countries also embracing its significance. The dragon's presence is not only felt in traditional celebrations but also in the business world, shaping multinationals' strategies and approaches.
