This textbook for students and practitioners offers answers to the most
important questions and challenges of international management. The main
topics are presented and discussed on three levels: (a) the
macroeconomic and institutional environment of the global economy, (b)
the international firms embedded as players in this environment, and (c)
the actual management decisions. The focus is placed both on the
characteristics of the individual subject areas (macro-, meso- and
microperspective) and on the interdependent connections between these
areas. The main interest of this book lies in an application-oriented
analysis of the central strategic management decisions in
internationalizing companies.
This textbook has been recommended and developed for university courses
in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
