About this title

Synopsis

A rare insight into the actual problems of managing multinationals. Multinational firms are a ubiquitous feature of modern economies. Yet how much do we really know of how they work? In this book, internationally-distinguished scholars show that multinational firms and the international systems which seek to regulate them are both political and precarious. This book reveals the complexity of managing multinationals and pulls the veil back from the myth of the multinational firm as a unified, economically-rational firm.
