International business refers to all commercial activities—including trade, investment, and the exchange of goods, services, technology, and knowledge—that take place across national borders. As globalization has increased, businesses of all sizes have expanded beyond their home countries to access new markets, resources, talent, and opportunities.

The field of international business examines how companies operate in different political, economic, legal, and cultural environments. It explores topics such as international trade, foreign direct investment (FDI), global strategy, international marketing, supply chain management, and the management of multinational enterprises. Organizations engaged in international business must also navigate challenges such as exchange rate fluctuations, cultural differences, government regulations, and ethical issues.

With unique commentary on 48 seminal articles published in the Harvard Business Review, the Sloan Management Review and the California Management Review over the past three decades, Verbeke shows how these can be applied to real businesses engaged in international expansion programmes, especially as they venture into high-distance markets. The second edition has been thoroughly updated and features greater coverage of emerging markets with a new chapter and seven new cases. Suited for advanced undergraduates and graduate courses, students will benefit from updated case studies and improved learning features, including ‘management takeaways’, key lessons that can be applied to MNEs and a wide range of online resources.
