Inside Asian Gaming

IAG NOV 2019年11月 亞博匯 34 2019 POWER 50 How do you pick between the owner/CEO and the COO of a company? Many gaming companies have a charismatic and entrepreneurial owner/CEO and a perhaps more seasoned and level-headed gaming professional in charge as President and/or COO. By default, being an owner necessarily ranks many more Power Score points. After all, the owner can always force an appointed COO out of his job. But in some cases a hired COO can be even more powerful than their “boss” when the owner delegates a very large proportion of decision making responsibility. The answer is decided on a case by case basis. Why isn’t Dr Stanley Ho on the list anymore? Dr Ho was retired from the list in 2011 after he effectively withdrew from active day-to-day management of SJM. As one seasoned industry professional put it, “You can’t put him in with normal people.” We agree. Finally, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow selection panel members for their tireless work and excellent insights. And so, without any further ado, we present the 12th edition of the Asian Gaming Power 50. Enjoy! 那些在博彩業內擁有相當影響力的非營運商，例如監管機構、媒 體評論員、分析師、學者、供應商、顧問、博彩律師等，是否將他們 計入？ 評審團研究了所有人的權能，但經過慎重考慮後得出的結論 是，不可能將監管機構包括在內(PAGCOR的Andrea Domingo之 所以出現在榜單上是因為純粹將其視為營運商而非監管機構)。在 考慮了所有其他領域代表的權能之後，只有直接的營運商才能進 入50強。 如何在公司的所有者/首席執行官和首席運營官之間進行選擇？ 許多博彩公司都有一位富有魅力和創業精神的所有者或行 政總裁，以及一位或許更加老練和冷靜的博彩專業人士擔任總裁 和/或營運總裁。通常情況下，作為所有者將會獲得更高的權能指 數，畢竟，擁有者總是有權利迫使一位指定的營運總裁離職。但某 些情況下，當擁有者將很大一部分決策責任分派給營運總裁時， 後者可能比他們的「老闆」有更大權利。答案要視具體情況而定。 為甚麼何鴻燊不在榜單上？ 2011年何鴻燊已實際退出了澳博董事會並不再參與日常管 理。一如一位資深的業內專家所言：「你不能把他和普通人放在一 起。」對此我們表示同意。 最後，我想藉此機會感謝我們評委會成員的不懈的工作和卓 越的洞察力。因此，事不宜遲，我們現在就跟您分享第12屆的「亞 博匯50強」。閱讀愉快！ The Philippines has continued to see strong growth in 2019. 菲律賓在2019年繼續保持強勁增長。
