In view of the recent trends in globalization, digitalization, sustainability and social responsibility, International strategic management has become increasingly important in many professional and academic courses. Though there are books by Indian and foreign writers, this book covers content relevant to the Indian situation. The book has been written in simple language to enable the readers to have a basic understanding of the concepts. A special feature of this book is that all the chapters have
been carefully crafted by the authors to present the material in a simple style. The book contains five well-defined chapters. Each chapter deals with a specific aspect of International Strategic Management with clarity of expression, simplicity of exposition, and intensive text followed by plenty of test questions for exercise and recapitulation. Besides long-answer type questions, short-answer questions, and medium-answer type questions have also been provided at the
end of each chapter along with sufficient exercises. This will help the students in testing their understanding of various topics. We hope that the book will be extremely useful for its intended audience.
