Von der hinteren Coverseite

We live in a global economy in which one quarter of the world’s recorded output is exported, where a change in business practice in Beijing can have a direct impact on a workforce in Birmingham, and where support to a customer in Detroit can be provided from Delhi.

 

International business is everywhere and affects us all on a daily basis. Individuals and organisations therefore need to understand a global as well as a local business environment, as well as how to manage and market across cultures, trade across national and legal boundaries, and plan for an ever-more competitive and unpredictable future.

 

This book provides a clear and concise introduction to this most interdisciplinary of subjects, explaining in straightforward language the economic and financial underpinnings of international business, and the more subtle organisational and cultural issues increasingly crucial to business success. The managerial challenges which face organisations of all types and sizes, no matter where they are located, are reviewed and explored.

 

Over 60 case studies enable you to learn from examples such as:

-    developing management skills in South Africa

-    legal services and intellectual property rights in India
