If you don’t mind your information being written from the Western, pro Big-Business, capitalist view, the bias conveyed throughout the text won’t be a problem. But if you are looking for something objective, something to fairly present the concepts associated with globalization, search elsewhere.
In the first two chapters alone, several instances of bias are written into the text. For example, in the first chapter, protesters of the WTO are referred to as “anarchists” and in the second chapter the difference between communists and social democrats is claimed to be that communists use violence in their revolutions. This is clearly not the case. While historically this may be true of the revolts, this is not even close to the fundamental difference between the two groups. For the first example, it can be seen that thousands of people gather to protest the WTO and it is certain that a select few, if any, consider themselves anarchists.
It is clear where the author stands!

I ordered this book for a 6 weeks class I am taking and only ordered this one because it included the CD and the MAP that I needed. I could have ordered just the book for around $40, but I choose to pay the extra (almost to $90) because it this one SAID that it included the CD and the MAP – well guess what it didn’t I was RIPPED off – the class is over a very short time period thus I have no time to return the book and get another
BUYER BEWARE!!!!!

It is a solid book on international business strategy. But the author’s writing style is unnecesarily complex and too much econ-based. Students may not follow well.

As it was explained, the book is in really good conditions, it has some highlited sections, but it doesn’t affect reading. The price was really good.
