This book is required reading for a summer course. I have given it two stars because it is practically a carbon copy of Peng's other text, Global Business. I do not so much mind that the concepts are repetitive. It actually helps build and deepen my understanding of the material to review topics such as VRIO, anti-trust laws, and Hofstede. What I found irksome is the repetition of the case studies and examples. I could have kept the other book, which was much less pricey, and achieved the same outcome in my course. Also, as with the first book, the frequent use of the phrase "eat their lunch" makes me feel twitchy. The editors for this author are not doing their jobs.
