students effectively apply what they’ve learned. Now in its 16th Edition, International Business remains one of the best-selling and most authoritative international business texts available. As
rigorous and practical as ever, this edition remains up-to-date through Updated or newly written cases, streamlined writing and expanded coverage of relevant global changes. (1) Cases begin and end every chapter; they either introduce New material or integrate what has already been learned.
(2) Looking to the Future features in each chapter alludes to ideas discussed in the chapter in a way that prompts students to engage their imagination about the world's future.
(3) Point—Counterpoint features bring the topics of major debates to life in a way students can understand and investigate.
