Description

Although the Internet contains a vast amount of information on the topic of international business, finding and searching through the sites using the Web search engines can be time-consuming and frustrating task. This text aims at solving these problems by bringing together international business-related Web sites from 176 countries. To be included in this guide, sites had to be managed by universities, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, or other institutions devoted to compiling and maintaining appropriate information on the Web. Beginning with general international Web sites the guide is then organized by continent, then by specific country. Sites are divided into five categories within each country - general information, economy, business and trade, business travel and contact information.

Reviews

[C]onvenient for users seeking information on a single country. . . . [V]ery detailed subject index is most helpful. . . . Because many Internet sites are short-lived or not routinely updated, Liu gives preference to government and university sites, which are deemed more stable and reliable. . . . Most libraries will need only one guide, and Liu's is sufficient. Recommeded for any collection serving businesses or students interested in international business. * Choice *
[T]his comprehensive resource will help individuals and organizations easily and quickly pinpoint specific business information on any country. . . . Especially useful to new surfers and those who are pressed for time; recommended for international and general collections. * Library Review *
Internet Resources and Services for International Business provides an excellent shortcut to international information. * ARBA *
With the release of this guide, Oryx has provided another useful tool to the resources of international business researchers. (The guide) takes some of the myth and mystery out of research, and leads researchers to what are currently the best web sites for international business information. * Business Information Alert *
