About the Book

Now there is a casebook with an innovative approach that covers the planning, structure, and implementation of the private international business transactions that characterize transnational commerce in today’s world. International Business Transactions focuses on transnational business and commercial transactions involving private entities or between private entities and governmental organizations acting in a commercial capacity.

This text addresses the four principal channels of modern international commerce:

  • trade in goods
  • trade in services
  • transfer of technology and knowledge
  • foreign direct investment

The casebook is distinctly realistic and practical, while also covering important policy and ethical issues:

  • integrates the regulation of international trade into the casebook as background material while concentrating on the transactional aspects of international business
  • devotes equal coverage to developed and developing nations
  • includes a chapter on the social obligations of multinational enterprises
  • provides extensive coverage of intellectual property
  • uses frequent short problems as a basis for classroom discussion
  • provides up-to-date cases plus textual explanations and analysis written by the authors
