This book presents culture early (Chapters 1 - 2) and integrates it throughout every chapter of the book. This is partly accomplished by starting each chapter with a culture-rich, intriguing opening company profile. (e.g. pp. 3-4, 49-50).- Presenting culture early & often fosters enthusiasm among students for chapter material and makes concepts relevant to the real world.OTHER POINTS OF DIFFERENCEDo your students find the competing arguments for and against globalization challenging to understand?NEW: Chapter 1 “Globalization.” The authors present the fundamental changes occurring in the globalization of both markets and production, the drivers behind globalization, and recent attempts to measure how “global” different nations are.
