With more than 1,000 entries, the Encyclopedia of Business in Today's

World is packed with essential and up-to-date information on the state

of business in our world. Not only does it reflect where business is, it

also conveys the trajectory of business farther into the 21st century.

These four volumes provide clear overviews of the important business

topics of our time, ranging from culture shock to currency hedging,

political risk, offshoring, and transnational corporations. The wealth

of topics represent an integrated vision by the editor of a perplexity of

functions, technologies, and environmental factors.
