The European business handbook 2002

Markets across the EU are moving towards a free market model.

E-commerce, global competition, privatization, the euro and enlargement are changing the way in which European companies are structured and run.

Yet for ambitious enterprises seeking to develop business across Europe, there remain multiple obstacles, risks and costs.

Drawing on the Insitute of Directors' experience of working with entrepreneurs, this handbook reviews how best to structure and implement European business models.

Designed to appeal to a wide audience of business readers, in both established and growing companies, the handbook offers a practical source of reference and advice on developing and resourcing business across Europe.

Topics include: Kyoto and Europe; buying and selling European companies; financial markets; services for European enterprises; and better management practice.
