The Global Business Handbook: The Eight Dimensions of International Management

Doing business across borders subtly changes the processes and skills needed by the successful manager. Cultural, social, geographic and legal factors serve to complicate the picture. The mantra for managers today is think global, act local. This reader is based on the structure of the very successful IESEG International Management School programme on international management. It includes a global focus representing East and West, North and South, backed by the latest research on different aspects of international business carried out in different parts of the world. The book will have a number of features that are very pertinent to optimum learning for students of international business and management. They include learning objectives, glossary, self completing exercises, summaries of chapters, critical discussion questions, exercises sited at web links and lists of further readings, exam questions and model answers.
