Description
Over the past three decades, a number of important changes have made international business more complex and exciting. The rapid and continuous changes in technology and communications have reduced the barriers among countries, firms, and citizens of the world. This has created opportunities for global integration, great expansions in international business, and a great many challenges to contend with.
Dynamics of International Business Environment and Strategy presents the traditional international business topics and cutting edge issues like environmental and corporate sustainability from a system dynamics perspective. It focuses on the dynamic changes in the international arena and how the inter-relations and cause-effect relationships influence one another within a whole. It also investigates strategic approaches for the new global business environment.
This approach enables current and future managers to assess business opportunities in a comprehensive and integral manner. The topics presented in this new light allow practitioners, scholars, and students of international business to have a deep understanding of the most relevant issues in today's dynamic environment.
