`. . . this is a very powerful book that examines the field of international business in many different ways. The scholars in the field have given very honest and understandable accounts of the field of international business. The presentation is extremely well organised and should be of interest to international business scholars, individuals concerned with business education, and individuals who have had international experience as consultants, officials, or managers. The editors have done an excellent job in putting together this piece of work. Current Issues in International Business contributes a great deal to the field and presents all the important issues that will propel international business research into the 21st century.' -- Leo A. Giglio, Business and the Contemporary World `In all, this latest volume from Edward Elgar fits well into the [International Business] catalogue. The book itself is a microcosm of the issues facing international business, reflecting perfectly the desire to cover a broad area with academic rigour, yet maintain intelligible boundaries. It is an admirable achievement.' -- Susan Scott-Green, Business History
