Dr. Charles Hill has the rare combination of excellent subject matter expertise and writing skill. I purchased this textbook for an MBA course on Global Business and have been extremely impressed with Dr. Hill’s work. It is organized, easy to read, the introduction and sidebars augment the text exceptionally, and the case studies are thorough and applicable. Unlike another reviewer, I found the depth of coverage to be appropriate for an MBA program and especially enjoyed the treatment of monetary systems and the weaving of economic theory throughout most chapters. This book is a keeper.

I found this book to be a well organized and stimulating. I have taken a course in Int Business as part of my undergraduate business degree. I discovered this book offered as part of an Int Business degree program at another institution and decided to purchase it. I found it to be so much better than the first go around that It was like I never learned Int business to begin with. Well written; I am very skeptical of typos and could only find one which was very minor. This book is a real eye opener and you will never want to stop reading it. It is one of my favorite text books! Thanks Charles Hill.

As a prescribed book for our MBA course (University of South Africa) I found this publication most enlightening. It is current and up to date, and addresses diverse topics which exert influences on business. Themes include national and cultural differences, global trade, politics and investment, the global monetary system, foreign exchange and capital market, strategic issues, and business operations.
I could find nothing wrong with the writer’s style. References are copious and the text is fairly easy to understand. Although it could be argued that postgraduate students will grasp the contents easier, even an undergraduate friend of mine found the book fascinating and well written.
Whether for formal studies or personal interest I can highly recommend this volume.

I apologize for writing a “review” before reading the book… I couldn’t find any other forum to let people know that there is a 6th edition of this textbook, but Amazon does not yet carry it. I found this out when I arrived at my class with my brand new 5th edition, and it wasn’t the right one. The bookstore apparently has the 6th edition. Make sure you know which edition you need before purchasing this one!

Having used Global Business Today, by the same author, in a prior class, I knew this author to be competent and complete. International Business (7th ed) is a continuation of that same completeness and competence. His writing style is somewhat dry, but he gets the point across. My problem is that Amazon failed to ship the “registration card,” required to access online content, along with the supposedly new book. This may have been mishandling on their part. Essentially, if someone purchasing this book also wishes to use the online content, it will now cost an extra $30. A feature that would be free, if the registration card were in the book.
I tried to shop Amazon to save money, but I guess I will get all of my textbooks on campus from now on.
