Synopsis:

We live in a global economy in which over 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.

 

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.

Individuals and organisations therefore need to understand that they operate in a global as well as a local business environment, in which they must often manage and market across cultures, trade across national and legal boundaries, and plan for an ever-more competitive and unpredictable future.
