, 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 importance of studying global business. Then, we develop the unified
framework used in each chapter, which focuses learning on one fundamental question and two
core perspectives—an institution-based view and a resource-based view. Next, we explore the
concepts of globalization, semiglobalization, and risk management. As a backdrop for the
remainder of the text, the Global Business and Globalization at a Crossroads section makes two
points: First, a basic understanding of the global economy is necessary. Second, it is important
to critically examine your own personal views and biases regarding globalization. Additionally,
we outline three leading debates concerning business and globalization/deglobalization. Finally,
we explore the broad implications for savvy managers and students for the future of global
business in a less global world.
