International Businesses and the Challenges of Poverty in the Developing World: Case Studies on Global Responsibilities and Practices

by Frederick Bruce Bird (Editor), Stewart W. Herman (Editor)

Through a series of case studies, this volume examines what can be learned, both positively and critically, from the experiences of selected internationally connected firms in Nigeria, Uganda, Ghana, Vietnam, Guyana, and the Nunavik region of northern Canada. This book begins with a set of reflections on the strategies firms might adopt so that they develop both their own assets as well as those of the areas in which they operate. A team of more than two dozen researchers from the developed and developing countries conducted the research on which the essays on this and subsequent volumes are based.
