Comparative International Management is a classic textbook for International Business that teaches the core concepts of International Business through a systematic comparison of management practice in countries across the world. This approach, unique to textbooks in the field, highlights cultural and behavioural themes, demonstrates the diversity of practice in global business, and allows for an exploration of globalization. Fully revised and updated, this third edition has been restructured for clarity and ease of use, with new sections covering theoretical underpinnings so that they are easy to understand.

Also new to this edition:

Coverage of emerging and contemporary issues including environment and sustainability issues; international SMEs and entrepreneurship; technology, AI, and automation; and the future of work post-pandemic
Practical application sections to help readers connect theory with practice
More coverage of government and non-profit organizations
Reflective and problem-solving questions at the end of each chapter

With student- and instructor-friendly online resources such as chapter summaries, mini-case scenarios, larger case studies, and PowerPoint slides, this book is essential core reading for advanced level and postgraduate students in International Business and International Management.
