In <em><strong>Globalization</strong></em>, the author explores the various intermingled aspects that make up the processes and controversies of globalization; he discusses the history and rise of the concept, sceptical and critical ideas about it, the debates around a global culture, and the implications of globalization for work, business, management and organizations.<br/><br/> Conceived by Chris Grey as an antidote to conventional textbooks, each book in the ‘<em>Very Short, Fairly Interesting and Reasonably Cheap</em>’ series takes a core area of the curriculum and turns it on its head by providing a critical and sophisticated overview of the key issues and debates in an informal, conversational and often humorous way.<br/><br/> Suitable for students of international business and anybody interested in the concept of globalization.<br/><br/>
