International Business: The Challenges of Globalization is a concise and clutter-free guide for aspiring managers in a globalized world. This book covers a wide range of topics, from the evolution of globalization to the Covid-19 pandemic’s impact on business and society globally, and places special emphasis on the central role that culture and other environmental factors play in international business.

The tenth edition enlivens discussions and makes abstract or complex concepts relevant to students’ careers by continuing to focus on real-world scenarios. For example, the subject of ethics and social responsibility is explored through the story of Tony’s Chocolonely, and the rise of Paytm exemplifies the role private businesses play in the economic development of nations.
