Great book on international business environment. Very detailed and up to date.

[Mary Helen Sherman]

No rating because I didn’t actually need the book at all for the class, actively trying to return to Amazon

Another textbook. But tons of insanely interesting case studies, I reread it.

Need to read this book

[Nathan Newcomer · Rating 2 out of 5]

Typical McGraw/Hill textbook. Excessively wordy rendering it incredibly boring to read. There were parts in the book where one sentence would state something and literally two or three sentences later the exact same concept would be paraphrased again. It was like the publisher required the authors to reach a certain page limit by whatever means possible.

Charles W.L. Hill has written the authoritarian book about Global Economics and keeps the material updated so it is always fresh. There is a LOT of content to this book including real-life examples that illustrates key points in the narrative. This is a must read for anybody interested in business or pursuing an MBA program.

I read this textbook for a graduate level class in international business, but I won't hold that against it. Overall, it is well written and contains a plethora of valuable information pertaining to its intended subject.

The copy I have is 'Global Business Today Asia-Pacific Edition, 3rd edition' by Hill, Cronk, & Wickramasekera, published by McGraw-Hill Education (Australia) in 2014, ISBN: 9781743070154. I just selected this book on Goodreads because i couldn't find the specific edition i have.
