And nobody is more qualified and trusted to write such a boldly-titled book than Professor Ghemawat, who for decades has championed clarity and truth in the subject as a leading researcher and advisor. That's why he was invited to serve on AACSB's task force on the globalization of management education and author its recommendations on what to teach students about globalization, and how.' Dan LeClair, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer, AACSB International, Florida
'Any business that has encountered, and possibly suffered from, administrative, cultural, geographic or other differences in the course of international expansion or investment, will find much to empathize with in Dr. Ghemawat's new book. He presents a cogent case for why globalization is actually a long drawn out process conditioned by the two "laws" referenced in the title, rather than a simple fact.

The book will be a useful guide to any business that seeks international markets or supply chains as well as scholars of these phenomena.' Victor K. Fung, Group Chairman, Fung Group and Honorary Chairman, Li & Fung Limited

While largely a chronicle of globalization over the last two decades, this book also provides a warning regarding the difficulty of unwinding global interdependence, which is more timely than ever, given Brexit and other recent developments!' Donald R. Lessard, Epoch Foundation Professor of International Management, Emeritus, MIT Sloan School of Management
'For some time now, there has been an incredible amount of hype about the advent of globalization. As significant as this phenomenon might have been, it has surely been exaggerated by both the popular press and, more worryingly, by academics too. In the last few years, Pankaj Ghemawat has embarked on a much needed crusade to document the actual depth and breadth of this globalization process. The picture that emerges from this academic endeavor is much more nuanced that the one often portrayed in the literature. This magnificent book overviews much of Ghemawat's recent work on this topic and should appeal to a broad range of social scientists intereste...
