This new edition of International Business examines the impact of globalization on key aspects of the business environment. It offers a comprehensive overview of this phenomenon that is altering corporate strategy fundamentally, critiquing the complexities of globalization and its impact on international business.

International Business offers a holistic examination of the processes that influence the evolution of strategy in the modern global economy. It is divided into three sections:

- impact of globalization: how globalization has driven the processes of regional integration and the emergence of transnational governance structures

- environmental drivers: how international strategy is shaped and the emergence of internationalized businesses

- resource issues: how resources can determine success in the global economy or impede firm evolution.

Featuring a wealth of new case studies, updated pedagogy and a fresh new design, this new textbook will prove essential reading for all those studying international business.

A companion website provides additional material for lecturers and students alike: www.routledge.com/textbooks/9780415437646.
