Critics Review
‘This latest edition of Professor Forsgren’s textbook is a must-read for both students seeking foundational understanding of international business theory and seasoned researchers craving scholarly depth. What sets this book apart is its remarkable balance: between accessibility and theoretical rigour; between precise statistics and illustrative examples; between a comprehensive scope and intellectual depth; between classic theoretical frameworks and their contemporary iterations; and, most importantly, between highlighting the “bright” and “dark” sides of the role of multinationals in today’s global economy – a quest that eludes many contemporary scholars.’ – Liena Kano, University of Calgary, Canada
‘This excellent book provides one of the most comprehensive treatments of the multinational firm in the global economy. It takes stock of 50 years’ of research, providing fascinating insights into the changing perspectives on the multinational. It speaks to a broad audience interested in debates about this complex organization. I can warmly recommend this innovative book for both research and teaching purposes.’ – Rebecca Piekkari, Aalto University, Finland
