This thoroughly updated and revised edition of a widely acclaimed, classic text will be required reading for academics, policy makers and advanced students of international business worldwide. Employing a distinctive and unified framework, this book draws together research across a range of academic fields to offer a synthesis of the determinants of MNE activity, and its effects on the economic and social well-being of developed and developing countries. Unique to the new edition is its focus on the institutional underpinnings of the resources and capabilities of MNEs, and the role of MNE activity in transmitting and facilitating institutional change. Since the initial publication of this book more than a decade ago, the economic, managerial and social implications of globalisation and technological advancement have become even more varied and prominent. Accompanying these developments, there has been a rise in scholarly interest in interdisciplinary research addressing the important challenges of an ever-changing physical and human environment. Drawing on articles and books from international business and economics, as well as economic geography, political economy and strategic management, a systematic overview of the developments in scholarly thinking is presented, while also highlighting the emerging topical issues and methodologies.
This book focuses on current cutting-edge research concerning the increasing strategic importance of subsidiary networks to the multinational firm. It combines contributions from three major related areas of inquiry: the changing theoretical conception of networks and the structure of the multinational firm, the importance of spillovers and agglomeration economies related to multinational investments, and the management of the flow of information and knowledge from headquarters to subsidiaries and vice versa. The book approaches the network structure of the firm from the different perspectives of the expert international contributors, while also combining theoretical perspectives with recent empirical evidence. Network Knowledge in International Business offers students in international business and strategy a cross-section of relevant research and current empirical evidence relating to knowledge management and the management of the modern multinational.

The purpose of this book is to present leading research concerning
the increasing strategic importance of environmental concerns
within the multinational firm, and to explore the implications of
corporate environmental strategy on public policy. The
contributions present empirical research that deals with the
simultaneous effects of the globalization of markets and the
emergence of environmental concerns as issues of corporate
strategy, either using a cross-national sample of firms within a
global industry, or a sample of multinationals from a particular
home country. By considering the dynamics of corporate
environmental behavior explicitly within the context of global
markets, the book makes a unique contribution to the discussion
about the impact of multinational activity.
