As the World Turns…: Observations on International Business and Policy, Going International and Transitions

by Michael R. Czinkota

We hear a lot about the growth of world trade, globalization, and imbalanced distribution of incomes. Yet, how does one understand all the issues, thoughts, and arguments? How does one develop a time frame and context for these issues? This book helps you to do so. Following on the heels of his successful book on opinions and insights (As I Was Saying…Observations on International Business and Trade Policy, Exports, Education, and the Future, March 2012), Michael Czinkota has invited us into his world again, to get a better perspective of issues, campaigns, and phenomena. Each article and the accompanying cartoon (remember, a picture can be worth a thousand words) represent a delicious thought opportunity to chew on.
