International Business : Critical Perspectives on Business and Management

The dramatic growth in the level of international business has been one of the most dramatic features of the last 50 years: by the early 21st century virtually all business transactions involve transnationals at some point in the value chain.

This comprehensive four volume set includes all major contributions to the field of international business.

The articles collected include the pioneering works by Vernon, Hymer, Dunning, Casson, Caves and Rugman, which developed the early theory of the multinational enterprise along side more recent work by Ghoshal, Westney, Kogut, Zaheer and Birkinshaw on international management issues of organization processes and structures.

It also includes key writings in the areas of international political economy and on regional and national issues.
