The International Business Environment
Challenges and Changes
This engaging text offers a comprehensive introduction to the global
environment that businesses operate in today. It addresses the key issues and institutions
within economic, political and legal frameworks, as well as the impacts of social,
cultural, technological and environmental developments. Responding to an increasingly
international business environment, the book offers a truly global perspective and broad
and discursive coverage of the external environment that businesses operate in today.
Maintaining a strong business focus throughout, the book offers valuable
pedagogical support including exercises and case studies that cover a broad range of
organisations from across the world. Regular mini-cases, chapter summaries, references and
further reading also aid learning. Now in full colour for the first time, this text offers
a clear and well-designed layout, including full-colour maps that enable the reader to
visualise the international context and think critically about different perspectives.
Aimed at undergraduate students taking an introductory module on the context
and environment of business as part of an International Business, Business Studies or
Management degree.
