Description
The revolution in information communication technologies has had a profound effect on the way firms structure and control their operations. At the same time, the ongoing integration of the global economy has greatly expanded international business opportunities. Information Technology in Multinational Enterprises analyses the implications of technological developments for the conduct of international business and the structure and activities of multinational enterprises. Using a combination of theoretical analysis and case studies, it provides a timely introduction to a topic that is of major interest to academics and practitioners in the fields of international business and information science.
Reviews / Votes
'The book is clearly positioned in the intersecting set of research on international business and information systems, respectively. . . . Collectively, the authors both take stock of what we know and indicate future patterns of development. . . . The various contributions in Information Technology in Multinational Enterprises provides practitioner and academic alike with a good launch pad for thinking in new, non-technical ways.' -- From the foreword by Peter Hagstrom, Stockholm School of Economics, SwedenMore details
