Product Description

“This is a wonderful text, remarkable for its breadth and freshness of approach. Hill links the often arcane world of international business to society and history. He has a good eye for the telling detail and the illuminating quotation. I shall be recommending this to my friends who are teaching, saying ‘read this and get your students to stay curious.’”

-John Stopford, Emeritus, London Business School

Reflecting a strong managerial orientation, a corporate emphasis, and a true global-local focus, International Business: Managing Globalization explains the whats and whys of global differences as it covers industries, competitors, regions, and markets from the perspectives of practicing managers. Author John S. Hill reviews the geographic and historic backgrounds of regions and markets in a way that no other text has done, with special focus on global supply chains, global branding, and world religions as they affect management at the local level.

A virtual office can be stated as a blend of both off-site live communication and address services that permit the users to reduce the cost of traditional office while maintaining business professionalism at the same time. A virtual office can escape all expenses of a traditional office. The concept of virtual office evolved from the old maildrop and executive suites industry, but due to its inflexibility it did not work well with various business models. This has actually spurred various companies to offer international virtual office services that maintain the image of a traditional, expensive office.

An international virtual office may actually facilitate your business to grow and by establishing such a presence you will cherish a physical office address containing an international flavor. It is to be kept in mind that you can be located anywhere in the world, own a citizenship of any country, and yet enjoy having an office anywhere in the world. An international virtual office will not only create an effective presence in the professional environment but will also add credibility to your business.  Read more...
