International Marketing Management: Text and Cases
This is a basic text in International Marketing, a major knowledge area for students of management studies. This book attempts to make learning of the nuances of the subject easy and enjoyable for students.

In addition, the role of international organizations under the guidance of the United Nations has been given its due importance.
