Export-Import Theory, Practices, and Procedures
COVERS A NUMBER OF SIGNIFICANT GAPS THAT ARE NOT ADDRESSED ELSEWHERE.  . . . By focusing specifically on trade rather than other forms of international  expansion, DR. SEYOUM HAS ACHIEVED THE NEAR-IMPOSSIBLE--in-depth  and thorough coverage of both the theory and the practice of exporting, and significantly  broader coverage of importing than is the norm, thus offering the most complete  coverage of all facets of trade that I have seen. . . . EXCELS BY INTEGRATING  THEORY WITH PRACTICE AND EXPORTS WITH IMPORTS. . . . The fact that this  book starts with 'A Brief History of International Trade' and concludes, among  others, with a 'Sample Distributorship Agreement', speaks to the singular achievement  of this book: true cover-to-cover, and top-to-bottom, coverage of all relevant  issues in exporting and importing. --Dr. Nicolas Papadopoulos, PhD, Professor of Marketing and International Business;  Associate Dean (Research); Director, International Business Study Group, Eric Sprott  School of Business, Carleton University, Ottawa, CanadaInternational Trade has always been a hands-on subject and the few books that  are out there do not address anywhere near the width and depth that Export-Import  Theory, Practices and Procedures, Second Edition, does. . . . Each of the 20 chapters  in this book closes with a great summary. The student here is also provided with  enough references, case studies and international perspectives on the subject  matter covered within the chapter. There are even review questions for further  self-study. THE CHAPTERS ON IMPORT REGULATIONS IS ESPECIALLY VALUABLE  to the student of international trade and the section on export licensing and  regulations of the Commerce Department is a boon to any new or seasoned export  manager. The useful presentation of typical import and export transactions as  well as samples of distributor agreements and business plans put this  book WAY ABOVE ANY OTHER IN ITS CLASS. --Ashok Sadhwani, BCom, GDMM, CHB, President and CEO, ASMARA USA INC.; Instructor,  Business and Legal Programs, UCLA Extension, Los Angeles; Associate Professor,  International Trade, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand; Consultant for the  Government--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
