Alternatives to internalization, such as licensing, joint ventures and other contractual arrangements are also evaluated. There are many applications to actual businesses, such as in the hotel, fish, food and banking industries. Also considered are regional office location and applications of the theory to Canada, Japan, the former Yugoslavia, the UK and USA. 410 0$aRoutledge Library Editions: International Business 606 $aInternational business enterprises$xCongresses 615 0$aInternational business enterprises$xCongresses. 676 $a338.88 702 $aRugman$b Alan M. 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779570403321 996 $aNew theories of the multinational enterprise$9455803 997 $aUNINA
