5 comments about International Business: Competing in the Global Marketplace : Postscript 2002.

1. I have used this book for the past 10+ years for a college course in "International Business". The students are mostly business majors. Now I have History, English, Communication and other majors. It is important for all students to understand globaliztion. With the information technology and e-commerce, the world is getting closer and easier to reach. Only 10 percent of US firms (GM, Ford, IBM, Motorola etc) are doing International Business, but the upside potential is unlimited. This book is an excellent entry to this exciting and challenging field. The book will be better if it has the PowerPoint slides for professors and covers more examples on Logistics.



2. If you don't mind your information being written from the Western, pro Big-Business, capitalist view, the bias conveyed throughout the text won't be a problem. But if you are looking for something objective, something to fairly present the concepts associated with globalization, search elsewhere.
   
   In the first two chapters alone, several instances of bias are written into the text. For example, in the first chapter, protesters of the WTO are referred to as "anarchists" and in the second chapter the difference between communists and social democrats is claimed to be that communists use violence in their revolutions. This is clearly not the case. While historically this may be true of the revolts, this is not even close to the fundamental difference between the two groups. For the first example, it can be seen that thousands of people gather to protest the WTO and it is certain that a select few, if any, consider themselves anarchists.
   
   It is clear where the author stands!

4. I've used previous editions of this text in my international business course, and have decided to adopt this one as well. The text does a great job of hitting every topic that international business people/corporations need to know. The text covers country differences, economics, strategy, and corporate functions.
   Another Amazon review incorrectly suggested that the author of this text is biased politically and in favor of larger firms. If the author intended to introduce a political bias in the text he certainly could have done it with the cases, but it is clear from reading such cases as the Kellogg Brown & Root case on page 190 that the author has no particular axe to grind. It is, in short, simply impossible to guess the author's political orientation.
   The book also has no bias in favor of larger firms. The business school in which I teach is (in fact) oriented towards entrepreneurship and smaller firms. The text was selected, in part, because the information imparted would be just as valuable to small firms as it would be to the large. The author specifically addresses the topic of "mini-multinationals" as well as topics that would be of interest primarily to smaller firms.



5. Great book for my MBA course in International Business. It is well organized, full of clearly defined principles, and loaded with case studies.

1. The first chapters reads like the advertisements from Sun. Since the books is written years ago all the comparisons are with Windows 3.1, and there is little information about the Internet.
