Multinational Management

by John B. Cullen

The globalization of companies, the growing importance of emerging markets, the global impact of wars, terrorism, and even disease define the nature of today's business. Developing and making strategic choices are the mainstays of successful decision making in this increasingly complex global environment. And the new fourth edition of Cullen & Parboteeah's MULTINATIONAL A STRATEGIC APPROACH delivers all the tools students need to succeed. Pioneering a distinctive strategic approach, the book uses strategy as its unifying theme to explore the global economy and the impact of managerial decisions--equipping students with a strategic mindset. It covers all topics essential to international management, including comparative management issues, formation and implementation of strategies in the global environment, the building of strategic alliances, negotiation and cross-cultural communication, international human resource management, business ethics, and much more. Equipping students with a broad perspective that's not limited to one nation, the text considers how cultural differences affect strategies and operations, giving readers an appreciation of how social institutions are key to multinational operations. It also includes invaluable coverage of emerging markets--particularly India and China--and special emphasis to small business issues. Extensive sets of models created by the authors offer excellent visual aids, and students have countless opportunities to put chapter concepts into practice through Internet applications, Skill Builder exercises, end-of-chapter cases, and integrated end-of-section cases. In addition, the innovative Electronic Study Tools Web site connects students with chapter outlines, practice quizzes, electronic flash cards, PowerPoint slides, maps, related links, and much more. Relying heavily on intriguing, real-world examples, MULTINATIONAL MANAGEMENT delivers the most current research, data, and presentation available.

The women watching out for women. Girl Power. Of course behind every strong woman is a most devoted doting man. Who is swoon worthy and basically a big teddy bear with a giant heart and a really big roar and claws. A house that protect abused women is a wonderful plot and story line. I thought that the plot was thought out well especially with how intertwined it was.

Tessa and Dartmoore have known each other for sometime. Tessa has relinquished her standing in society and has helped her cousin to have a better life. Along the way, she gets the support of Dartmoore.
What can I say about this book? It was an adventure. It was also a book with hard topics. The storyline was great, and it also highlighted the injustices that women faced. I enjoyed the happy ever after, and their relationship throughout the book.
This is the second book in the series.

This book was so much fun. I didn't want to put it down. Just the right amount of mystery, romance, and danger.
