World Business: Globalization, Strategy and Analysis
John S. Hill

Subject
International trade, international business enterprises, international economic relations

 

Description
This text includes many traditional International Business topics such as Internationalization and Global Strategy. While most texts take a functional approach (i.e. Marketing, HR, Production), this text integrates the functions with global/multi-market sourcing, manufacturing, supply chain distribution, along with integrative mechanisms, such as, global HRM, IT systems, and new product development. Localization issues are viewed as essential parts of strategy, which are more important in some industries and situations than others. The underlying rationale, explained in chapter one, and reinforced throughout the text, is that globalization; technology transfers and modernization take time to diffuse across world markets and within individual countries.

 

 

Teaching and the Case Method 3rd edition
Louis B. Barnes, C. Roland Christensen, Abby J. Hansen

Subject
Training of business teachers, case method

 

Description
A book for teachers, it delves into the special role of teacher and students in the case method learning process. Schools that want to use the case method more effectively can use this book to teach groups of faculty how to apply case method techniques. For the first time, too, a book about case method teaching attempts to show how the method can be applied in a liberal arts setting. A liberal arts module in the book presents an innovative program for instructors who want to experiment with discussion teaching in traditional arts and science areas. The book focuses on a wide range of knotty problems faced by most instructors, experienced or new, creating an opportunity for them to learn from each other. Its main purpose is to provide a rich opportunity for both professional school and liberal arts instructors to develop their own discussion leadership skills, and to further the process of learning for both themselves and their students.
