About this book

This book explores the relationships between the day-to-day activities of managers in multinational firms, and the wider social, institutional and cultural contexts in which they operate. It examines new qualitative research material and applies theoretical approaches previously unexplored in the fields of international management and business.

Reviews

'This book reaches out to international business scholars in an effort to fill in the agency gap in knowledge transfer processes of multinational corporations. It constitutes an excellent response to Redding's (2005) call for greater attention and discern to the i) construction of meaning, ii) role of interested groups, and iii) impact of historical forces in international business scholarship.' - Organization Studies

'Many of the book's case studies are extremely interesting and insightful...the intended audience is clearly an academic one, appealing to those with an interest in the cutting-edge development of international business and international management as a field of study.' - Academy of Management Perspectives
