This text challenges students to think critically about global issues that affect the business environment and provides them with a wealth of pedagogical features that help cement learning. Its coverage includes the economic, political, social, legal, cultural, technological and financial environments.

The book is truly global in coverage, with case studies and examples from all over the world, including Afghanistan, China, Sweden and Thailand. It also has a strong focus on ethics, responsibilities and sustainability and what this means for business organizations. Janet Morrison's writing style makes difficult concepts easy to understand and its clarity makes it suitable for students with English as a second language.
