This book illustrates the impact of increasingly prominent global phenomena, such as digitalisation and climate change, on the international activities of both small and large multinationals. As it highlights, extant management research does not fully explain such emergent topics as Internet platforms, digital business models, and the decision-making of cleantech and circular economy companies. This volume serves to fill this lacuna.
The ACADEMY OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS (UK and Ireland Chapter) Published in association with the UK and Ireland Chapter of the Academy of International Business. This brand new edited collection addresses the growing uncertainty and socio-economic challenges of globalisation and its profound implications for the strategies and operations of multinational enterprises (MNEs). Responding to the new balance in international business, the authors offer valuable insights into the co-evolutionary processes involved in headquarters-subsidiary relationships, the need for novel strategies by MNEs to retain competitive advantage, improve performance and contribute to the global economy.
Issues in Global Business is a single-volume reference that offers relevant perspectives and explains impacts of current events such as COVID-19, Brexit, and immigration across industries and regions. Topics covered include the on-demand economy, global manufacturing, Bitcoin, data security, and more. Coupled with a comprehensive overview of the business landscape around the world by Dr. Mamoun Benmamoun, an assistant professor at the Boeing Institute of International Business at Saint Louis University, this book provides students with the essential information they need to assess business practices through an international lens.
Modern globalization has been a recognized force around the world for at least three decades. Academic journals, newspapers, television specials, and political discourse are conquered by globalization events, and their impact seems to be everywhere. For most it is a good force, but for a very angry minority it appears to be a bad force. One would have thought that the terms of a force so important would be well defined, its impact understood, and its historical evolution appreciated. This fifth volume explores the interaction of globalization and contemporary issues among economic, business, social, politics, cultural era. With its global implications, this book will be invaluable for students and scholars from all disciplines who are concerned with the contemporary issues in economics, business and globalization. This volume will make sense of contemporary issues in economics, business and globalization by conveying its complexity, importance, and contentiousness from diverse vantage points. With its broad coverage of political, economic, business, cultural, social and individual dimensions, this volume provides readers with a comprehensive introduction to contemporary issues in economics, business and globalization. Also this book will aim to provide relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the areas. It will be written for professionals who want to improve their understanding of the contemporary issues in economics, business, globalization and dimensions such as; economical, managerial, political, cultural, social etc.
It examines the context in which multi-national companies operate and how the key players interact with each other and with the external business environment. It takes an issues based approach that explores contemporary issues that impact global business activity and examines the managerial responses to those issues. An excellent course text.
Taking neither an economic approach nor a purely managerial approach to its subject matter, this work offers students an integrated resource on the subject of international business. Its main theme is the process of globalization which the authors address in great detail.
International business is synonymous with big challenges. Cultural and institutional complexities remain ever potent, so are 'newer' concerns like climate change and international terrorism. This timely book examines these challenges from the perspectives of different international business actors.
