International Business
What are the fundamental challenges and emerging trends of International Business today? What are the impacts of corporate social responsibility and the ever expanding use of digital technology on corporate strategies and executive decisions?
International Business: Theory and Practice addresses these questions by providing the student with a broad overview of the subject, while guiding readers through the practical issues and context of international business with the use of a range of examples, cases and discussion questions drawn from around the world.
Current critical issues in international business are analyzed and explored: corporate social responsibility in an era of unprecedented globalization, the rise of the global entrepreneur and the 'democratization' of competition worldwide, as well as applications of technology in a digital economy.
Key Features:
- Unpacks the complex issues facing both multi-national enterprises (MNE) and international small and medium enterprises (SME)
- Contains a full range of learning features including international case studies, explanations of key terms, a glossary, and annotated further reading
- A dedicated companion website with material to support both lecturers and students.
With its truly international perspective, use of pedagogy and readable style, International Business is the perfect introductory text for any undergraduate student in an International Business course.
Any leader worth his or her salt today must be confident in a global marketplace. I had the privilege to work closely with Amit Menipaz for several years - he's a true world-class expert on both the theory and practice of global management

Required reading for the globalized manager. Many memorable international cases. Unpacks the issues that entrepreneurs, small business, corporate innovators, even social entrepreneurs need when they confront the reality of big business and the gazelles amongst the SMEs. Good features for continued learning too

Substantially global in its approach to the important area of international business, the book provides a complete coverage of all key issues in international business, including ways to leverage digital technologies and supply chains in the global context
Dr. Nelson M. Fraiman
Professor and Director, W. Edwards Deming Center for Quality, Productivity and Competitiveness, Columbia University
The text offers a good theoretical framework for understanding global business but lacks a sufficiently dynamic discussion on market changes and such to take students (with short attention spans) beyond theory.
Colleagues pushed for staying with Hill. I could go on my own, but decided to fit in, given assessment issues. I am hoping that our next round of reviews will get us moving.
A good introductory text for undergraduate business students.
The book is a useful as a background reading on international business. Recommended for undergraduate students taking international business subjects.
Students like it
The book is very comprehensive and a good read. Only downside is that it could be more succinct in some parts, so aggregating information a bit stronger.
I think it was a fairly good book, but not really what I was looking for. I have thus passed it on to one of my former doctoral candidates who is now developing a course where it might fit.
A very comprehensive textbook with recent data related to new challenges such as international digital marketing.
I highly recommend this book for any students in their final year of BA programme in international business or at MA level.
a good introduction level primer that will help students untangle some of the myths and misunderstandings about working across boundaries
