Review:
"Susan Segal-Horn and David Faulkner offer a guide to global strategy this is both comprehensive and, as result of their effective marshalling and clear articulation of the principles, highly accessible. Their rich, real-world examples make this textbook a pleasure to read." --Robert M. Grant, Eni Professor of Strategic Management, Bocconi University, Milan, Italy
"This is an important and admirable new text on global strategy with several quite distinctive strengths. It provides a comprehensive treatment of different contexts and sectors. It also addresses newly significant issues such as ethics, SME globalization and base-of-the pyramid strategy. Not least, it contains very relevant case studies." --John Child, Professor of Commerce, Birmingham Business School, University of Birmingham
"An admirably incisive overview of global strategy by a pair of most experienced authors. It robustly covers a very wide range of cross-national business contexts. It will be of great use to both undergraduate and postgraduate users, particularly aspirant MBAs'" --Malcolm Warner, Professor and Fellow Emeritus, Wolfson College and Judge Business School, University of Cambridge
"I am very impressed with the thoroughness of their approach and, as a book on global strategy, it is a welcome antidote to a field that it is dominated by so many superficial texts." --Paul Gooderham, Professor in International Management at NHH - The Norwegian School of Economics & Business Administration
