We rely on the media to give us information about global business. But how do we know what are the real stories behind the news? This book looks at the important issues surrounding global business, and how those issues have been reported in the media, and it explains why there are such widely differing opinions about the benefits, or otherwise, of global business. What's inside? Primary sources and case studies; topical subjects ideal for classroom debates; and, ideas for further reading and research"--Back cover.
