Multinational risk assessment and management : strategies for investment and marketing decisions /

An inclusive treatment of political risk assessment aimed at a readership consisting of students of international business and executives of multinational firms concerned with this issue. Ting examines the sociopolitical foundations of the issue, approaches to political risk assessment found in the literature, micro-risk assessment associated with individual projects, forms of business involvement in national political systems, and economic linkages through macro-policy and exchange rates. The author also considers host-country dynamics, market-entry problems, risks associated with international investments, applications of risk-rating systems, and integration of political risk assessment into a risk-return calculus. Extremely clear, the book is more usable than such earlier volumes as Stephen J. Kobrin's Managing Political Risk Assessment (1982). Comprehensive bibliography. Highly recommended for advanced undergraduate and graduate library collections.-I. Walter, New York University
