Although many firms label themselves "global", very few handle worldwide sales and operations. This book demonstrates that most multinationals are in fact strongly regional and that only a tiny percentage of the world's top 500 companies sells and/or delivers globally. Alan Rugman exposes the facts behind the popular myths of doing business globally, explores a variety of regional models and offers an authoritative agenda for future business strategy.

- Dedicated web site providing answers to discussion questions, extra data, executive summaries
Reviews & endorsements
"Alan Rugman has unequivocably shown that most multinational enterprises operate at a regional rather than global level. Less hype and more accuracy regarding globalization can't be a bad thing." Paul W. Beamish, Director, Asian Management Institute, Ivey Business School, University of Western Ontario
