It offers a comprehensive overview of this phenomenon that is altering corporate strategy fundamentally, critiquing the complexities of globalization and its impact on international business. "International Business" offers a holistic examination of the processes that influence the evolution of strategy in the modern global economy. It is divided into three sections: impact of globalization - how globalization has driven the processes of regional integration and the emergence of transnational governance structures; environmental drivers - how international strategy is shaped and the emergence of internationalized businesses; and, resource issues - how resources can determine success in the global economy or impede firm evolution.
