This brand new text is the first to offer a truly global, as opposed to multinational, perspective on strategy. It covers both traditional strategic management topics and new topics, such as corporate social responsibility and new technologies. Global Strategic Management gives the student a thorough understanding of the wide range of theories and research available in this field, while providing both mini-cases and full-length cases of successful global companies from the United States, Europe and emerging economies, such as India. As well as providing comprehensive pedagogical features, the text is accompanied by a companion web site, which includes a lecturer area with model answers to discussion questions and case questions, and Powerpoint slides, and a student area with links to web sites of interest.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has emerged as an important approach for addressing the social and environmental impact of company activities. Yet companies are increasingly expected to go beyond this. They are now often expected to assist in addressing many of the world's most pressing problems, including climate change, poverty and HIV/AIDS. With increasing expectations placed on business, this book asks if CSR is capable of delivering on these larger expectations. It does so by investigating an industry that has been at the centre of the CSR development - the oil and gas sector. Looking at companies from developed countries such as Exxon and Shell, as well as companies from emerging economies such as Brazil's Petrobras and China's CNOOC, the book investigates the potential of CSR for addressing three important challenges in the business-society relationship: the environment, development and governance.
