Beskrivning

The Laws of Globalization and Business Applications employs a variety of empirical methodologies to establish two broad regularities that apply to international activity at the firm, industry, and country levels - the law of semiglobalization and the law of distance - and explores some of their implications for business. Part I presents evidence in support of the law of semiglobalization at the country and the business levels historically and up to the present. Part II performs an analogous function regarding the second law of globalization, showing that the gravity models that international economists have used to analyze merchandise trade between countries also apply to other types of international interactions - and at the industry and firm levels as well. Part III applies these laws to various challenges and opportunities that distance along various dimensions presents to multinational firms. A free online appendix provides additional data, analysis, and documentation to support research applications.

Recensioner i media

'In a world where most conversations about globalization are characterized by sweeping generalizations and self-serving misrepresentations, The Laws of Globalization and Business Applications is an indispensable resource for students and scholars of business, economics, and public policy. 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
