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. 410 0$a2014 digital library. 410 0$aInternational business collection.$x1948-2760 606 $aInternational business enterprises$xManagement 606 $aCorporate governance 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $abusiness challenges 610 $abusiness ethics 610 $acorporate governance 610 $aethics 610 $aglobal business 610 $aglobal organizations 610 $ainternational accounting 610 $ainternational finance 610 $ainternational management 610 $ainternational marketing 610 $aphilosophy 610 $aself-actualization 615 0$aInternational business enterprises$xManagement. 615 0$aCorporate governance. 676 $a658.049 700 $aThanopoulos$b John.$0914307 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464818203321 996 $aGlobal business and corporate governance$92048448 997 $aUNINA
