It addresses the key issues and institutions within the economic, political and legal frameworks, as well as the impacts of social and cultural, technological and ecological developments.

Maintaining a strong business focus throughout, the book offers valuable pedagogical support, notably in the provision of a bank of long cases at the back of the book which give substantial illustration of the concepts in practice. Regular mini-cases, chapter summaries, references and further reading also aid students¿ learning.  Further support is offered to both lecturers and students via its companion website www.booksites.net/brooks
