Industry Reviews
This new edition of Doing Business in Europe addresses head-on many of the most pressing issues for the international economy - the big questions of regional integration both within the European Union and between the EU and the rest of the world. It does so from a sound basis in international business theory and, using invaluable case illustrations, shows how the firm level, country and regional levels interact to create the region-specific multi-country advantages that lie at the heart of the desire for integration. Against this backdrop, it explains the stresses and strains that are all-too-apparent today, such as the disruptive effects of Brexit, pluri-lateralism, participation in Global Value Chains and the future of the Single Market and its payment, taxation and funding mechanisms. -- Jeremy Clegg This resourceful hands-on business strategy book is the essential guide to doing business in, with and across Europe. It covers all the most relevant business issues: ranging from e-Privacy and PSD2 to artificial intelligence in European Marketing, from Horizon 2020 to FP9, from HR policies and refugee effects, to Brexit and its impact on the future of trade and investment across the continent and beyond. The concepts are clear and actionable, the case studies are most illustrative - challenging the reader to explore and understand how to effectively shape and drive cross-border market expansion in Europe. Read and study this book: Learn from the best. -- Candace Johnson
