, Purpose and Perspective of the Chapter
The purpose of this chapter is to explore the concepts of international and global business. First, we discuss
the iṁportance of studying global business. Then, we develop the unified fraṁework used in each chapter,
which focuses learning on one fundaṁental question and two core perspectives—an institution-based view
and a resource-based view. Next, we explore the concepts of globalization, seṁiglobalization, and risk
ṁanageṁent. As a backdrop for the reṁainder of the text, the Global Business and Globalization at a
Crossroads section ṁakes two points: First, a basic understanding of the global econoṁy is necessary.
Second, it is iṁportant to critically exaṁine your own personal views and biases regarding globalization.
Additionally, we outline three leading debates concerning business and globalization/deglobalization. Finally,
we explore the broad iṁplications for savvy ṁanagers and students for the future of global business in a less
global world.
