Dear Professor
McGraw-Hill Education
brings you
This book aims at
developing an understanding of the various contracting and control
issues faced by the multinational enterprise. Emphasis is placed on
the theoretical determinants of external contracting and the
management control of multinational operations. These issues are
illustrated with examples and 18 case studies of actual
multinational and regional firm operations in China. In particular
the cases illustrate::
a)
the various theoretical
determinants of international business contracting strategies and
the organisational structures that complement those strategies;
b)
the cost/benefit trade-offs
that are associated with the various contracting arrangements of
foreign direct investment in China; and
c)
the significance of various
managerial accounting and control techniques that can support the
various forms of contracting that are used by foreign multinationals
in China.
