Overview
In this seminal book, a distinguished group of experts pinpoint and rigorously analyse central topics in international business research. It is hoped that the volume will become a major reference tool for understanding the economics of multinational enterprise. The emphasis throughout is on a new dynamic research agenda, for theory, for empirical research and for public policy. The wide-ranging topics discussed in the book include: the importance of the location of production; market structure and multinational enterprise; technology, productivity and the multinational firm; multinational enterprises and developing countries; international business and public policy issues; and analytic models. The juxtaposition of ideas should provoke productive discussions among faculty and at conferences, and should stimulate useful new thought processes in any individual researcher. This book should be suitable for academics and scholars seeking guidance on the future research agenda for the economics of multinational enterprise.

Reviews
'Each chapter is both thoughtful and provocative in its distilled survey of recent developments and in identifying areas of future interest. As such, there are far more nuggets contained here than in most volumes. The book will appeal primarily to (specialist) academic economists and their prospective doctoral students but it also provides a lucid survey of issues and analysis that, in great part is accessible to the informed non-specialist.' -- Robert Read, The Business Economist 'This is a useful addition to the literature on MNEs and a must for researchers and policymakers in the area of international business.' -- C.S. Venkata Ratnam, Global Business Review
