Description
Transnational Management provides an integrated conceptual framework to guide students and instructors through the challenges facing enterprises operating in today's complex worldwide environment. Through text narrative and cases, the authors skillfully examine the development of strategy, organizational capabilities and management roles, and responsibilities for managing effectively across national boundaries. The key concepts are developed in eight chapters supplemented by practical case studies from world-leading case writers. All chapters have been revised and updated for this ninth edition to reflect the latest thinking in transnational management while retaining the book's strong integrated conceptual framework. Nineteen new cases have been added and thirteen classics are retained. Recommended academic and practitioner readings have been updated for each chapter. A full range of online support materials include detailed case teaching notes, comprehensive lecture slides and a test bank. Suitable for MBA, executive education, and senior undergraduate students studying courses such as international management, international business or global strategy.
Reviews / Votes
'I have been teaching with this textbook for over twenty years. With nineteen new case studies, this comprehensive text navigates the complexities of managing in the global environment with clarity, depth, and practical insights.' Roberto Garcia, Indiana University 'This book is the definitive resource for students of international strategic management. Its clear explanations of fundamental concepts and theories are enriched with practical, up-to-date examples. The case studies provide valuable insights into real-world challenges of international management, allowing students to apply theoretical concepts to develop effective solutions.' Erika Graf, Frankfurt University of Applied Science 'I have used Transnational Management from the very first edition. Unlike other texts, it goes beyond reflecting on the organizational and environmental challenges confronting transnational managers. Through carefully chosen cases and readings, it helps readers develop the skills needed to pursue transnational strategies in dynamic and idiosyncratic environments.' Carl Scheraga, Fairfield UniversityMore details
