International Business

This sixth volume in the Academy of International Buiness Series presents leading-edge research on contemporary themes in international business. Part one explores several of the major issues that currently face multinational enterprises: government policy, the Asia crisis, knowledge and technology management, corporate-subsidiary relations, strategies for small firms and the impact of the technological revolution. Part Two of the volume examines the impact of foreign direct investment, FDI. Written by a range of international contributors, a key focus of these papers is the particular issues relating to foreign investment in the emerging markets of Central and Eastern Europe and South-East Asia.
