The original edition of, Organization Theory and the Multinational Corporation was a seminal influence in bringing together research on organization theory and international management, particularly the multinational corporation with contributions from leading thinkers. In this new edition, following the untimely death of Sumantra Ghoshal, the contributions have been revised and updated to reflect and incorporate new paradigms and thinking in both fields.
