Retained Features
- A Canadian Perspective on International Business:The third Canadian edition focuses on revisions based on market feedback while retaining the balanced, global focus for which the Hill book is known. It offers an appropriate Canadian perspective without obscuring the principle thematic thrust of International Business. The Canadian context makes this text even more suitable for the curriculum, and more engaging, relevant and accessible for Canadian students.
- Two unique pedagogical features offer additional opportunities for student application: Research Tasks at the end of each chapter, and Sustainability in Practice vignettes at the end of each part. GlobalEDGE/CIBERTM Research Task: Using the test and the GlobalEDGE TM Web site, http://globaledge.msu.edu, students solve realistic international business problems related to each chapter. These exercises expose students to the types of tools and data sources international managers use to make informed business decisions.
- Ethics chapter (Chapter 4: Ethics in International Business): This chapter offers coverage of topics such as Wikileaks, corruption in Afghanistan with regard to Canadian army and development aid, and corruption in Quebec noting Maclean’s cover story in September 2010.
