International strategy faculty will find that the text easily lends itself to customizing the course to their particular needs. This book deepens our understanding of the global economy and the evolving role of the multinational enterprise. Arie Y. Lewin, Professor of Strategy and Sociology, The Fuqua School of Business, Duke University, and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of International Business Studies (2002 7) 'This revised edition of Alain Verbeke's textbook builds on the strengths of the very first edition, and continues to stand out from other textbooks in two respects. First, the analytical framework summarizing the nature of international business presented in the first half of the book is consistently used in all subsequent chapters. Second, this conceptual toolkit helps students to understand the complexities of international business in the real world.'
