A well-structured easy-to-read textbook. It covers all the major topics students in international business global environment have to address. * Andrea Moro, University of Leicester * Balanced and well considered, Harrison's text outlines the basic information well and enables students to take their reading further, within the same text, to the level their ability and interest allows. * Jean Jenkins, Cardiff University * Harrison's text is accessible, comprehensive in approach, and significantly engaging by virtue of the clear examples and cases that support the study of the international business environment. * Connie Hancock, University of Chester * It is clear, intelligently written, interesting and with some useful additional features, including the practical insights boxes and opening and closing cases. The material makes good sense, is readable to a non-expert audience and makes clear links between sections. It is structurally sound and well organised. * Scott McCabe, Nottingham University * Review from previous edition I find the writing style very good because it is at the same time both highly readable and it incorporates, as necessary, complex ideas and rigorous analysis. * Rob Thomas, Portsmouth University *
