Critical Acclaim
‘This Encyclopaedia is a comprehensive guide to the field of international strategic management. It examines international strategic management through a vast range of insightful, concise analyses of the key issues. The volume meets the multidisciplinary and multilevel challenges of the field, and it covers the matrix of relevant phenomena and disciplinary approaches with great style. The Encyclopaedia is centred on the multinational enterprise but goes much deeper and wider into international business environments, external beyond-the-firm impacts, international management and decision processes and the cultural differences that make this such a fascinating field. The excellent search features enable readers and researchers to focus on their interests and its content is up to date and relevant. This volume is highly recommended and will aid both researchers and practitioners as they further refine theory and practice.’
