What are the fundamental challenges and
emerging trends of International Business today?
What is the impact of corporate social
responsibility, and the ever expanding use of digital technology on corporate strategies
and executive decisions?
International Business: Theory and Practice
addresses these questions by providing the student with a broad overview of the subject,
while guiding readers through the practical issues and context of international business
with the use of a range of examples, cases and discussion questions drawn from around the
world.
Current critical issues in international
business are analyzed and explored: corporate social responsibility in an era of
unprecedented globalization, the rise of the global entrepreneur and the
‘democratization’ of competition worldwide, as well as applications of technology in a
digital economy. This is the perfect introductory text for any undergraduate student in an
International Business course.
