"I like the proposed length; too many texts are so long I can't
imagine most students really absorbing (as opposed to merely
memorizing details) all the material. I also like the writing. The
author has apparently taken great pains to make the writing
interesting, clear, and easy to follow. I also like the supporting
resources and citations. Mike Peng provides excellent coverage of
the relevant literature, both in terms of scope and variety.
Finally, I like the focus which represents an innovative and
refreshing take on the field."
"I really like the idea of concentrating on different regions, such
as China/Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America and
Africa, rather than the Triad. I am also impressed with the
objective of presenting a globally-centered perspective rather than
the US-centered point of view of many texts on the market."
"I would not hesitate to adopt this text for MBA candidates, as it
is replete with relevant, illustrative and current examples and
case studies."
"There is nothing else like this text. The other books available
either need lots of international supplementation or (in the case
of the global/international business texts) they are really
international management books and not strategy books. This book is
definitely needed for Global Strategy classes."
"This text challenges students to critically reflect about the
basic institutions and ethics that capitalism - and thus business
behavior - is built upon. Too many texts take basic principles as a
given and reduce business classes to teaching students how to make
the most money. However, if universities wish to teach business,
they have to provide more then recipes. Peng helps them with
accomplish this. Chapter 12, Strategizing with Corporate Social
Responsibility is a major innovation! I believe that confronting
students already at early stages of their education with ethical
issues affecting business will sensitize them to reflect over
ethics throughout their education, and - hopefully - make them."
