Reviews"The thorough coverage of all contemporary topics is to be applauded as is the simple, clear and coherent presentation of frameworks and theories. A valuable guide to the issues of global strategic management." -- David Collis, Harvard Business School, USA "A well-written and masterful overview of principles and trends in global strategic management including a look at the economic, political, and social conditions of global development. In addition, the fascinating case studies will inform everyone; from those managers already working in the global business arena, to students who are planning to make it there." -- Olaf Plötner, ESMT Berlin, Germany "This impressively informed textbook is a mandatory tour de force for students in the subject, crammed with real international business cases, coupled with a very well-crafted pedagogical focus. It includes recent theoretical approaches on strategy as well as a massively useful coverage of ethics." -- Alfonso Avila-Merino, Norwich Business School, UK "An invaluable resource for educators discussing globalization and global strategies. In terms of scope, it covers international business and international management strategies. Many of the frameworks included in the book are comprehensive enough to apply in almost any industry and any situation. The chapters also include a lot of rich and thought-provoking data, and educators will appreciate the discussion of contemporary cases." -- Nitin Pangarkar, NUS Business School, Singapore
