In the sixth edition of International Management, we have taken care to retain the effective foundation gained from research and practice over the past decades. At the same time, we have fully incorporated important new and emerging developments that have changed what international managers are currently facing and likely to face in the coming years. Of special importance is that students of international management understand what will be expected of them from the range of stakeholders with whom they interact.

With the passing of the legendary Richard Hodgetts, our co-author and friend, we dedicate this new edition to his memory. We also enthusiastically welcome a new author to the team, Jonathan Doh from Villanova University. An active researcher, teacher, consultant, and practitioner, Jonathan brings considerable experience, energy, and passion in the areas of international strategy, emerging markets and institutions, corporate social respon-sibility, and a deep understanding of globalization and its implications for international management (see more on Jonathan in "About the Authors" )
