Overall, this textbook has a lot of merit and is chock-full of very useful information, and many cited sources. However, it does have its flaws too. I will begin with the positive points as I also describe the textbook's overall features. I will then touch on the two main negative points, and close by explaining the context of my review.PROS:On the positive side, the chapters all begin and end with excellent case studies. The range of subjects covered throughout the textbook is excellent because it introduces just about every topic you would need to know when engaging in international business (especially from an operations standpoint). The Table of Contents is as follows:PART ONE: Background for International Business...1 Globalization and International BusinessPART TWO: Comparative Environmental Frameworks...2 The Cultural Environments Facing Business...3 The Political and Legal Environments Facing Business...4 The Economic Environments Facing Businesses...5 Globalization and SocietyPART THREE: Theories and Institutions: Trade and Investment...6 International Trade and Factor-Mobility Theory...7 Governmental Influence on Trade...8 Cross-National Cooperation and AgreementsPART FOUR: World Financial Environment...9 Global Foreign-Exchange Markets..10 The Determination of Exchange RatesPART FIVE: Global Strategy, Structure, and Implementation..11 The Strategy of International Business..12 Country Evaluation and Selection..13 Export and Import..14 Direct Investment and Collaborative Strategies..15 The Organization of International BusinessPART SIX: Managing International Operations..
