Multinational Firms, Cooperation and Competition in the World Economy

This collection of key works examines operations of large firms in the global economy. It explores areas of international strategy such as knowledge management, international transfer pricing, international joint ventures and alliances and issues of cross-border governance. All of this is accomplished within a consistent theoretical framework of the internalization theory of the multinational firm. This framework is further extended to encompass issues such as coping with volatility in the world economy and the search for flexible strategies by multinational firms.
