From the outset it is assumed that today all business is global though often with conflicting priorities and potential civilization clashes. Also, it showcases that we operate in a practically borderless world seeking ideas and talents globally. Therefore, this book aims to brief you on business-related issues ranging from historical matters to the realities of the 21st century, from local cultures to global organizations and from political, legal, and economic topics to accounting, finance, marketing, and management perspectives. It also aims to direct your attention to critical business challenges as well as to the need of corporate governance at all levels. These issues relate to the environment and the structure of the corporation. However, these very issues may result in restating the organizational objectives since the corporate era parallels the roles and the responsibilities that countries had in the past. For that matter wise, prudent, knowledgeable, ethical, philosophically-oriented, and enlightened corporate leaders are needed. From a practical side the material presented is better suited for upperlevel undergraduate, graduate study, and executive education, and it provides a combination of how-to-do matters and philosophical perspectives of a new and challenging era.  aAlso available in print.  aMode of access: World Wide Web.  aSystem requirements: Adobe Acrobat reader.  aTitle from PDF title page (viewed on April 23, 2014). 0aInternational business enterprisesxManagement.925671 0aCorporate governance.919191  abusiness challenges  aBusiness ethics  acorporate governance  aethics  aGlobal business  aglobal organizations  ainternational accounting  ainternational finance  aInternational management  aInternational marketing  aphilosophy  aself-actualization08iPrint version:z9781606498644 0a2014 digital library.9114507 0aInternational business collection.x1948-2760911450840uhttp://portal.igpublish.com/iglibrary/search/BEPB0000247.html  c10  c75339d75339
