Book excerpt: When China opened its doors to the West in the late 1970s, Western businesses jumped at the chance to sell their products to the most populous nation in the world. Boardrooms everywhere buzzed with excitement?a Coke for every citizen, a television for every family, a personal computer for every office. At no other time have the institutions of Western capitalism tried to do business with a communist state to the extent that they did in China under Deng Xiaoping. Yet, over the decade leading up to the bloody events in and around Tiananmen Square, that experiment produced growing disappointment on both sides, and a vision of capturing the world's largest market faded.Picked as one of Fortune Magazine's "75 Smartest Books We Know," this updated version of Beijing Jeep, traces the history of the stormy romance between American business and Chinese communism through the experiences of American Motors and its operation in China, Beijing Jeep, a closely watched joint venture often visited by American politicians and Chinese leaders. Jim Mann explains how some of the world's savviest executives completely misjudged the business climate and recounts how the Chinese, who acquired valuable new technology at virtually no expense to themselves, ultimately outcapitalized the capitalists. And, in a new epilogue, Mann revisits and updates the events which constituted the main issues of the first edition.Elegantly written, brilliantly reported, Beijing Jeep is a cautionary tale about the West's age-old quest to do business in the Middle Kingdom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides a conceptual framework for analyzing key financial decisions of multinational firms Now in its twelfth edition, Multinational Financial Management provides a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of all essential areas of the international financial market environment, including the determination of the cost of capital for international projects, capital budgeting, financial structure, transfer pricing, risk management, and portfolio investment. Written with the large multinational corporation in mind, this leading textbook offers a wealth of numerical and institutional examples that demonstrate the use of financial analysis and reasoning to solve complex international financial problems. Multinational Financial Management is a self-encompassing treatment of multinational financial management that simplifies complex concepts, provides the theoretical knowledge required to examine decision problems, and supplies the practical analytical techniques needed to clarify the ambiguous guidelines commonly used by international financial executives. Throughout the text, the authors show how the international dimension of finance creates difficulties that are not encountered in domestic finance, such as multiple currencies, segmented capital markets, political risks, and international taxation issues. Multinational Financial Management, Twelfth Edition, remains the ideal textbook for upper-level undergraduate and master's degree courses in International Finance and International Financial Management, as well as bank management, financial management, and other executive development programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook on Trade and the Environment is a good source for those looking for a better understanding of political issues, of legal debates, and of the state of discussion between government, industry, NGO, and private sector groups on topics that are not often treated elsewhere. Judith M. Dean, World Trade Review I would recommend the book to anyone concerned with the interaction of trade and the environment. John Goodier, Reference Reviews In this comprehensive reference work, Kevin Gallagher has compiled a fresh and broad-ranging collection of expert voices commenting on the interdisciplinary field of trade and the environment. For over two decades policymakers and scholars have been struggling to understand the relationship between international trade in a globalizing world and its effects on the natural environment. The authors in this Handbook provide the tools to do just that. The editor s well-worked introduction synthesizes the emerging themes of the collection, which is divided into three sections: trade and environmental quality, trade and environmental politics, and trade and environmental policy. Topics include the extent to which trade liberalization creates pollution havens where dirty industries flock to poorer countries with lax environmental standards, and conversely, how multinational corporations bring cleaner environmental technologies to developing countries when they choose to move abroad. The volume also addresses the extent to which national environmental policy and/or global environmental agreements clash with the emerging rules of the World Trade Organization and whether such environmental policies hinder export competitiveness. Finally, numerous political economy analyses of the complex political coalitions that arise to adapt to and mitigate changes in trade and environmental policy are provided. In addition to broader overviews of the field, in-depth case studies of nations and regions are offered, including the United States, the European Union, China, India and Mexico as well East Asia, Latin America, and Africa. The volume will serve as a guide for scholars new to the field as well as students and policy-makers needing a quick reference to the research on the interface between trade and the environment.
