Purpose and Perspective of the Chapter
The purpose of this chapter is to explore the concepts of international and global business.
First, we discuss the importance of studying global business. Then, we develop the unified
framework used in each chapter, which focuses learning on one fundamental question and two
core perspectives—an institution-based view and a resource-based view. Next, we explore the
concepts of globalization, semiglobalization, and risk management. As a backdrop for the
remainder of the text, the Global Business and Globalization at a Crossroads section makes two
points: First, a basic understanding of the global economy is necessary. Second, it is important
to critically examine your own personal views and biases regarding globalization. Additionally,
we outline three leading debates concerning business and globalization/deglobalization. Finally,
we explore the broad implications for savvy managers and students for the future of global
business in a less global world.

This case can be used to help students understand how firms such as Apple are able compete
around the world while dealing with the various rules of the game. Ask students how a
company can adapt when the larger geopolitical relationship between their home and host
country changes. What determines their success and failure? How can they use globalization to
their advantage? How important was it for Apple to get involved in trade discussions and
decisions by directly lobbying US government officials?
