Review:

"The writing style is engaging, and the text is one of the more readable texts that I've seen."

"The textbook covers almost every aspect of global business that I like to cover in my course."

"I wanted to thank you for writing GLOBAL BUSINESS. It is very informative and entertaining. It is nice to have information presented in a way that is actually exciting and thought provoking, something I have found that many other business texts are lacking. I feel like I am learning to think for myself about important global issues instead of being indoctrinated to think the way mainstream ideologies dictate as 'right' or 'wrong.'"
