"This second edition of an already well-established international business text maintains its unique strategic focus and the use of the triad (US/Europe/Far East) as a framework within which international business is explored. There is an emphasis on economic and multinational approaches throughout. The major strength of this book lies in the use of relevant case material, much of which has how been revised or replaced to include more European examples. Each chapter has common pedagogy, which includes objectives, active learning cases, international business strategy in action, key points, key terms, review and discussion questions, and real cases."--BOOK JACKET.

The third edition of Multinational Enterprise and Economic Analysis surveys the contributions that economic analysis has made to our understanding of why multinational enterprises exist and what consequences they have for the workings of the national and international economies. It shows how economic analysis can explain multinationals' activity patterns and how economics can shed conceptual light on problems of business policies and managerial decisions arising in practice. It addresses the welfare problems arising from multinationals' activities and the logic of governments' preferences and choices in their dealings with multinationals. Suitable for researchers, graduates and upper-level undergraduates. The third edition of this highly accessible book incorporates the many additions to our knowledge of multinationals accumulated in research appearing in the past decade.

"In these times of intense change, what role should our most important business leaders play in society? How do the CEOs of major corporations construe their jobs? How should they construe them? These are the questions posed and answered in The Mind of the CEO.". "Based on extensive and highly personal interviews with forty CEOs around the world - people such as GE's Jack Welch, AOL's Steven Case, Allen & Co.'s Nancy Peretsman, Newscorp's Rupert Murdoch, BP Amoco's John Browne, Nokia's Jorma Ollila, and Toyota's Hiroshi Okuda - Jeffrey E. Garten takes us on a journey into the innermost thoughts of the world's corporate titans and provides a context for understanding the turmoil in today's boardrooms. His conclusions may surprise you."--BOOK JACKET.
