Overall, this textbook has a lot of merit and is chock-full of very useful information, and many cited sources. However, it does have its flaws too. I will begin with the positive points as I also describe the textbook's overall features. I will then touch on the two main negative points, and close by explaining the context of my review.
PROS:
On the positive side, the chapters all begin and end with excellent case studies. The range of subjects covered throughout the textbook is excellent because it introduces just about every topic you would need to know when engaging in international business (especially from an operations standpoint).
