The fields of Economic Geography and International Business share an interest in the same phenomena, whilst each provides both a differing perspective and different research methods in attempting to understand those phenomena.

The Routledge Companion to the Geography of International Business explores the nature and scope of inter-disciplinary work between Economic Geography and International Business in explaining the central issues in the international economy. Contributions written by leading specialists in each field (including some chapters written by inter-disciplinary teams) focus on the nature of multinational firms and their strategies, where they choose to locate their activities, how they create and manage international networks and the key relationships between multinationals and the places where they place their operations. Topics covered include the internationalisation of service industries, the influence of location on the competitiveness of firms and the economic dynamism of regions and where economic activity takes place and how knowledge, goods and services flow between locations.

The book examines the areas for fruitful inter-disciplinary work between International Business and Economic Geography and sets out a road map for future joint research, and is an essential resource for students and practitioners of International Business and Economic Development.

Recenzijas

This is a welcome and timely contribution to the interdisciplinary space that has long existed between the fields of economic geography and international business. It brings together leading scholars from both disciplines in a wide-ranging volume that is sure to be essential reading for anyone interested in the many theoretical and empirical intersections that span these fields. Professor Andrew Jones, Vice-President (Research and Enterprise), City, University of London

'This comprehensive volume shows that International Business and Economic Geography are cognate, linked and complementary fields of endeavour. An outstanding list of authors provide a compelling guide to the synergies between these two research fields and the mutual benefits that cooperation across the subjects can bring. This results in a strong research agenda for the future.' Professor Peter J Buckley OBE, FBA, Centre for International Business University of Leeds (CIBUL)

'This Companion decidedly shows how the disciplines of Economic Geography and International Business can and should engage with each other. An excellent collection of works by an array of authors, from household names to younger talent, from across the World.' Gabriel R.G. Benito, BI Norwegian Business School
