Book SynopsisHow has Japan become a major economic power, a world leader in the automotive and electronics industries? What is the secret of their success? The consensus has been that, though the Japanese are not particularly innovative, they are exceptionally skilful at imitation, at improving products that already exist. But now two leading Japanese business experts, Ikujiro Nonaka and Hiro Takeuchi, turn this conventional wisdom on its head: Japanese firms are successful, they contend, precisely because they are innovative, because they create new knowledge and use it to produce successful products and technologies.Examining case studies drawn from such firms as Honda, Canon, Matsushita, NEC, 3M, GE, and the U.S. Marines, this book reveals how Japanese companies translate tacit to explicit knowledge and use it to produce new processes, products, and services.Trade ReviewWhen the authors detail specific examples of knowledge creation, the reader's interest awakens. * The Wall Street Journal *Nonaka and Tekuchi demonstrate for the reader how it is possible to transfer tacit knowledge into explicit, which in turn is used to create new knowledge. * Knowledge Management, June 2000 *Nonaka is indispensable. * Financial Times *Nonaka and Takeuchi have written an academic study that summarises their theories and presents case studies illustrative to a western audience ... a guide to practitioners, based on materials for workshops and consultancy by the authors. * Financial Times *Provides a perceptive and very relevant analysis of how Japanese companies go about creating new knowledge organizationally ... One of the most valuable new books I have covered ... for some time. * Long Range Planning *The book, an esoteric mixture of philosophy and practical guidance, has been a business bestseller in the US. * Charles Leadbeater, Financial Times *

Book SynopsisAccelerating processes of economic globalization have fundamentally reshaped the organization of the global economy towards much greater integration and functional interdependence through cross-border economic activity. In this interconnected world system, a new form of economic organization has emerged: Global Production Networks (GPNs). This brings together a wide array of economic actors, most notably capitalist firms, state institutions, labour unions, consumers and non-government organizations, in the transnational production of economic value. National and sub-national economic development in this highly interdependent global economy can no longer be conceived of, and understood within, the distinct territorial boundaries of individual countries and regions. Instead, global production networks are organizational platforms through which actors in these different national or regional economies compete and cooperate for a larger share of the creation, transformation, and capture of Trade ReviewCoe and Yeungs Global Production Networks is a significant addition to the diverse and rapidly growing literature on international economic development . . . The book contains numerous insights and hypotheses that can guide future empirical research, and it is likely to both sharpen theoretical debates and offer grounds for constructive dialogue among the many scholars who look at economic development through the lens of inter-firm production networks. * Gary Gereffi, Professor of Sociology and Director of the Center on Globalization, Governance & Competitiveness, Duke University *This book provides an important contribution to analysis of the growing complexity of global production networks. It is published at a key juncture given rapid expansion of consumer end-markets within the global South. Its exploration of the implications for uneven economic development is essential for assessing varied strategic options facing diverse actors in the contemporary global economy. * Stephanie Barrientos, Professor of Global Development, University of Manchester *This book is a major and original contribution to the study of the global economy, and unique in the ways in which it provide a rigorous conceptual map of the dynamic and geographical complexities of the current global economy. It is, by far, the fullest and most significant book on global production networks to date. It is a major achievement and will be an important work in economic geography and economic sociology. * John Pickles, Earl N. Phillips Distinguished Professor of International Studies, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 20/04/15 *Given the absence of a book-length treatment of GPN's by the extant literature, the value-add offered by Coe and Yeung in terms of delineating unified casual explainations for the rise and persistence of GPN's is timely and noteworthy. Across its six chapters, the book is cognizant of complementary aproaches, and seeks to inform subsequent empirical exploration by attempting conceptual development of the GPN framework. Coe and Young proceed to profile the actors involved in GPN's as well as the characteristics of these networks in Chapter 2. This is a key strength of the book, where the role of actors ex-firms such as the state, international organisations, and intermediaries are acknowledged and scrutinised for their impact on overall firm activity. Coe and Yeung have done an excellent job in illuminating a fundamental puzzle involving the evolution of production in the world economy, even as they develop a coherent theory of GPN's.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisFrederick Guy''s The Global Environment of Business offers a multi-dimensional analysis of the environment in which international business operates. International: How do multi-national corporations, nation states, regional trade blocs, markets, and global institutions interact to shape the international economic system? Who wins and who loses when the economy internationalizes? Is internationalization leading to a global world, or a regional one? How will efforts to curtail and adapt to climate change affect international business?Technological and historical: How has the business environment been shaped by production systems, new methods of business organization, information and communication technology, transport, and the process of technological change itself?Comparative: How do institutional differences affect national specialization and economic performance? How do the business systems of Europe differ from that of the United States, or those of East Asia from those of Latin America? Why do location and face-to-face contact matter in an age of high-speed communication and cheap long-distance transportation? Why have some countries grown so fast while others remain poor?The Global Environment of Business draws on extensive research by economists, political scientists, sociologists, geographers, and business historians. There is more theory and academic debate here than in most books on the subject, but it is presented and explained clearly, and illustrated with lots of examples.Trade ReviewThe author has done the student and the general reader a great favor by weaving together many contributions into a single highly readable book...I am hopeful that many lecturers will chose to stretch into disciplines outside their specialties to make the best use of this uniquely integrative approach. They will be offering the student a rewarding educational experience. * Michael H. Best, Journal of International Business Studies *The book is a remarkable effort to provide an explanation of the current configuration of international business. Namely it tries to answer two key questions: What are the roots of the global corporation? Why did the Nation State accept to enter into a system of integrated markets?...this book should be part of any modern course on international business and/or globalization. * Francesco Bogliacino, Universidad EAFIT and RISE Group writing for Journal of Economics *This thoroughly researched, well written volume provides an extensive and careful investigation of how the complex relationship between policy, technology and the international business system has evolved in time. The approach is multidimensional, blending in a successful way international economics and international business with political economy and economic history. * Francesca Sanna-Randaccio, Professor of Economics, Dipartimento di Informatica e Sistemistica, University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy *The Global Environment of Business is a fine text offering an analysis of the environment in which international business operates. From how multi-national corporations and nation states interact to shape the international economic system to how the economy internationalizes and how this can lead to a global world or a regional focus, this is packed with technological and historic assessments based on economic research and political science alike: perfect for any college-level business library. * Midwest Book Review *A unique book on international business providing all essential insights to comprehend the driving mechanisms of economic globalization. The clear presentation of the key intuitions of international trade theory makes this manuscript a main reference for all international business economists. * Cecilia Jona-Lasinio, Lecturer, Department of Economics, Luiss University, Rome, Italy15/04/2010 *I highly recommend, Frederick Guys The Global Environment of Business. It is rare to see a book that with such intellectual depth and breadth that can serve as a course textbook. * William Lazonick, Professor, Department of Regional Economic and Social Development, and Director, Center for Industrial Competitiveness University of Massachusetts Lowell, USA15/04/2010 *This is really the best textbook for a graduate student who studies the world economy. I will use it in my course. * Hiroyasu Uemura, Professor of Economics, International Graduate School of Social Sciences, Yokohama National University, Japan *Table of ContentsPART I: BACKGROUND: TECHNOLOGY, BUSINESS ORGANIZATION, AND POLITICS ; 1.

Book SynopsisThis book explores globalization through a historical and anthropological study of how familiar soft drinks such as Coke and Pepsi became valued as more than mere commodities.Trade Review"Skillfully navigating the pitfalls of reading soft drinks as either a pat story of unmitigated coca-colonization on the one hand or autonomous local resistance on the other, Foster presents a persuasive case for both the openness and the constraints of the processes he traces." - Comparative Studies in Society and History "This is a great book. It is definitely worth incorporating in your teaching if you are a professor, and in your thinking if you are a human being who cares about people and our environment. Foster pulls together many strands of cultural anthropology to create a compelling story about how soft drink corporations are attempting to take over the world not just in terms of sales but also in terms of government and citizenship." - anthropologyworks.com "Neither a politically-correct polemic against corporations nor a paean to the glories of free trade, Coca-Globalization is a thoughtful look at how products can take on extraordinary meaning for human beings and how shareholders and soft drink consumers can have an impact on business decisions. - Mark Pendergrast, author of For God, Country & Coca-Cola and Uncommon Grounds "A profound, scholarly study that doggedly tracks down and records in detail the way Coca-Cola inhabits our world today. Foster s riveting presentation and analysis of Coca-Cola in Papua New Guinea is matched by his sensitivity to global issues of value, shareholder activism, and the environment. A firm foundation for a genuinely informed politics of consumption." - Daniel Miller, Professor of Material Culture, Department of Anthropology, University College London "The book is simply one of the most eloquently argued and clearly written texts on globalization that I have ever read." - Paige West, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Barnard College, Columbia University "Foster's retelling of the story of Coke asks that we not be lured into alarmist opposition to globalization simply because of the power and reach of an immense profit-driven global agent. Nor does his account prompt us to see the global relations of Coke as benign or ethically attuned to the fragility and creativity of local culture. Rather, it suggests that the sources of Coca-Cola's expansive power to affect politics, culture and material conditions can also be instruments for progressive consumer action - for the reformist political action of peoples as consumers." - Socialism and Democracy "The book brilliantly pursues [its] objectives . . . [Foster s] discussion is of such historical depth and analytic breadth that I cannot summarize it here" - American Anthropologist "Well beyond area specialism, the interest of Foster s book lies in the impressive details of his tracking of Coke along global commodity networks. Its originality lies in the sustained application of an approach to value formation that is derived from Callon et al. s (2002) notion that a product is the contingent outcome of a constant process of qualification." - Journal of Consumer CultureTable of ContentsIntroduction: Cola Connections and Worldly Things PART 1: SOFT DRINKS AND THE ECONOMY OF QUALITIES The Social Life of Worldly Things: Commodity Consumption and Globalization Globalizing Coca-Cola: The Multilocal Multinational Corporation Qualifying Products: Trademarks, Brands and Value-Creation A Network of Perspectives: The Meanings of Soft Drinks in Papua New Guinea PART 2: GLOBALIZATION, CITIZENSHIP AND THE POLITICS OF CONSUMPTION Corporations, Consumers and New Strategies of Citizenship Shareholder Activism: Consumer Citizenship Inside the Corporation Pouring Rights: Politics, Products, Agency and Change Conclusion: Product Networks and the Politics of Knowledge References
