Application Rich, Relevant. Accessible and Student Focused. Global Business Today (GBT), the worldwide market leader among international business products, has set a new standard for international business teaching. We have focused on creating resources that Are comprehensive, state of the art, and timely. Are theoretically sound and practically relevant. Focus on applications of international business concepts. Tightly integrate the chapter topics throughout. Are fully integrated with results-driven technology. Take full and integrative advantage of globalEDGE.msu.edu— the Google-ranked #1 web resource for “international business resources.” International Business (now in its 12th edition, 2019), also coauthored by Charles W. L. Hill and G. Tomas M. Hult, is a more comprehensive and case-oriented version that lends itself to the core course in international business for those that want a deeper focus on the global monetary system, structure of international business, international accounting, and international finance. GBT has always endeavored to be current, relevant, application rich, accessible, and student-focused. Our goal has always been to cover macro and micro issues equally and in a relevant, practical, accessible, and student-focused approach. We believe that anything short of such a breadth and depth of coverage is a serious deficiency. Many of the students in these international business courses will soon be working in global businesses, and they will be expected to understand the implications of international business for their organization’s strategy, structure, and functions in the context of the global marketplace. We are proud and delighted to have put together this international business learning experience for the leaders of tomorrow. Over the years, and now through 11 editions, Dr. Charles Hill has worked hard to adhere to these goals. Since the ninth edition, Charles’ co-author, Dr. Tomas Hult, has followed the same approach. In deciding what changes to make, we have been guided not only by our own reading, teaching, and research but also by the invaluable feedback we received from professors and students around the world, from reviewers, and from the editorial staff at McGraw-Hill Education. Our thanks go out to all of them. Comprehensive and Up-to-Date To be relevant and comprehensive, an international business package must Explain how and why the world’s cultures, countries, and regions differ. Cover economics and politics of international trade and investment. Tackle international issues related to ethics, corporate social responsibility, and sustainability. Explain the functions and form of the global monetary system. Examine the strategies and structures of international businesses. Assess the special roles of the various functions of an international business. Relevance and comprehensiveness also require coverage of the major theories. It has always been a goal to incorporate the insights gleaned from recent academic scholarship into the book. Page viii Consistent with this goal, insights from the following research, as a sample of theoretical streams used in the book, have been incorporated: New trade theory and strategic trade policy. The work of Nobel Prize–winning economist Amartya Sen on economic development. Samuel Huntington’s influential thesis on the “clash of civilizations.” Growth theory of economic development championed by Paul Romer and Gene Grossman. Empirical work by Jeffrey Sachs and others on the relationship between international trade and economic growth. Michael Porter’s theory of the competitive advantage of nations. Robert Reich’s work on national competitive advantage. The work of Nobel Prize–winner Douglass North and others on national institutional structures and the protection of property rights. The market imperfections approach to foreign direct investment that has grown out of Ronald Coase and Oliver Williamson’s work on transaction cost economics. Bartlett and Ghoshal’s research on the transnational corporation. The writings of C. K. Prahalad and Gary Hamel on core competencies, global competition, and global strategic alliances. Insights for international business strategy that can be derived from the resource-based view of the firm and complementary theories. Paul Samuelson’s critique of free trade theory. Conceptual and empirical work on global supply chain management—logistics, purchasing (sourcing), operations, and marketing channels. In addition to including leading-edge theory, in light of the fastchanging nature of the international business environment, we have made every effort to ensure that this product is as up-to-date as possible. A significant amount has happened in the world since we began revisions of this book. By 2016, almost $4 trillion per day were flowing across national borders. The size of such flows fueled concern about the ability of short-term speculative shifts in global capital markets to destabilize the world economy. The world continued to become more global. As you can see in Chapter 1 on Globalization, trade across country borders has almost exponentially escalated in the last few years. Several Asian economies, most notably China and India, continued to grow their economies at a rapid rate. New multinationals continued to emerge from developing nations in addition to the world’s established industrial powers. Increasingly, the globalization of the world economy affected a wide range of firms of all sizes, from the very large to the very small. We take great pride in covering international business for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as larger multinational corporations. We also take great pride in covering firms from all around the world. Some sixty SMEs and multinational corporations from all six core continents are covered in the chapters’ opening cases, closing cases, and/or Management Focus boxes. And unfortunately, global terrorism and the attendant geopolitical risks keep emerging in various places globally, many new and inconceivable just a decade ago. These represent a threat to global economic integration and activity. Plus, with the United Kingdom opting to leave the European Union (Brexit), which has implications past 2019, the election of President Donald Trump in the United States (who espouses views on international trade that break with the long established consensus), and several elections around the world, the globe—in many ways—has paid more attention to nationalistic issues over trade. These topics and many more are integrated into this text for maximum learning opportunities. WHAT’S NEW IN THE 11TH EDITION The success of the first ten editions of Global Business Today (and its longer, more in-depth textbook option and companion, International Business, now in the 12th edition) was based in part on the incorporation of leading-edge research into the text, the use of the up-to-date examples and statistics to illustrate global trends and enterprise strategy, and the discussion of current events within the context of the appropriate theory. Building on these strengths, our goals for the 11th edition have focused on the following: 1. Incorporate new insights from scholarly research. 2. Make sure the content covers all appropriate issues. Page ix 3. Make sure the text is up-to-date with current events, statistics, and examples. 4. Add new and insightful opening and closing cases in most chapters. 5. Incorporate value-added globalEDGETM features in every chapter. 6. Connect every chapter to a focus on managerial implications. As part of the overall revision process, changes have been made to every chapter in the book. All statistics have been updated to incorporate the most recently available data. As before, we provide the only textbook in International Business that ensures that all material is up-to-date on virtually a daily basis. The copyright for the book is 2020, but you are likely using the text somewhere between the years 2019 to 2022. We keep the textbook updated to each semester you use the text in your course! We do this by integrating Connect and globalEDGETM features in every chapter. Specifically, combining McGraw Hill’s Connect platform with the Google number-one-ranked globaledge.msu.edu site (for “international business resources”), we can add up-to-date materials and exercises to each chapter to add value to the material and provide relevant data and information. This keeps chapter material constantly and dynamically updated for teachers who want to infuse Connect and globalEDGETM material into the chapter topics, and it keeps students abreast of current developments in international business. In addition to updating all statistics, figures, and maps to incorporate most recently published data, a chapter-by-chapter selection of changes for the 10th edition include the following: CHAPTER 1: GLOBALIZATION New opening case: GM and Its Chevrolet Supercar, The Corvette ZR1 New materials on international trade, trade agreements, world production, and world population Explanations of differences in cross-border trade and in-country production; the value of trade agreements; and population implications related to resource constraints Revised Management Focus: Boeing’s Global Production System Revised Management Focus: Wanda Group New closing case: Globalization of BMW, Rolls-Royce, and the MINI CHAPTER 2: NATIONAL DIFFERENCES IN POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, AND LEGAL SYSTEMS New opening case: Transformation in Saudi Arabia New Country Focus: Putin’s Russia Updated data on corruption Updated Country Focus: Corruption in Brazil New closing case: The Decline of Zimbabwe CHAPTER 3: NATIONAL DIFFERENCES IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT New opening case: Brazil’s Struggling Economy Updated statistics and discussion in section Differences in Economic Development Updated Country Focus: Property Rights in China Updated statistics and discussion in section States in Transition New closing case: Economic Development in Bangladesh CHAPTER 4: DIFFERENCES IN CULTURE New opening case: China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan Deeper treatment of culture, values, and norms Revised the foundation that most religions are now pro-business Updated the Hofstede culture framework with new research New Country Focus: Determining Your Social Class by Birth New Country Focus: Turkey, Its Rel ...
