The Ivey Casebooks Series is a co-publishing partnership between
SAGE Publications and the Richard Ivey School of Business at The
University of Western Ontario. Due to their popularity in more than
60 countries, approximately 200 new cases are added to the Ivey
School of Business library each year. Each of the casebooks comes
equipped with instructor's resources on CD-ROM. These affordable
collections will not only help students connect to real-world
situations, but will benefit corporations seeking continued
education in the field as well. Broadening the scope of
environmental forces to a global rather than a domestic context
leads to cross-country comparisons that add complexity to the
subject matter, enrich analytical theories, and heighten the
interest of students. Students gain an appreciation for the many
ways in which environmental forces interact, creating a set of
risks and opportunities that is unique in each country and that
must be evaluated in formulating trade and investment decisions.
Cases in the Environment of Business offers an outstanding
collection of relevant, classroom-tested cases. In discussing the
cases, students will participate in managerial decisions in an
international context. Most cases deal with a variety of
environmental forces, but generally a single set of forces plays a
predominant role. The instructor's resources on CD-ROM includes
detailed 6-10 page casenotes for each case, preparation questions
for students to review before class, discussion questions, and
suggested further readings. Cases in the Environment of Business
addresses the following five sets of environmental forces: Industry
Structure Responses to strategies of customers, suppliers, and
competitors, ; dependence of profitability on unique value-added
attributesand the shift of certain activities to low-wage countries
