International Business Information: How to Find It, How to Use It

Rating:
Summary: Very usefull indeed!
Review: Do you have an urge to know how to find and use international business information?; then you should read this book, i.e., International Business Information : How to Find It, How to Use It by Ruth A. Pagell, et al. Ms. Pagell and Mr. Halperin has here been able to compile a very useful book that deals with all the sources that can be used to either find or use business information, e.g., internet, CD's to name a few. The writing style is very accessible and does not have a sedative quality to it (which other business books unfortunately do have) I found this book to be very useful during the time that I studied to become a librarian and I can also see it as a helpful tool for a businessman whom is interested in finding and using international business information.

Review: I am a professor of finance and international business, and the Associate Dean, at Emory's Goizueta Business School. Business leaders often ask me how I am able to construct such original graphs and always have useful forecasts for global economies and business. I tell them there is almost too much information and data now available; the key is to filter it efficiently to get to the most useful and credible sources. Fortunately, I keep a book right next to my computer that is the "bible" for all of us who work daily with information and statistics on global business. This book is a weighty one and any business should own a copy as it is a key resource. Written by award-winning authors, it is the best reference to guide business analysts and executives to the most valuable sources of global business information. Importantly, it shows how to INTERPRET AND USE the desired data. I find the book's extensive exhibits and tables, as well as appendices such as useful glossaries and checklists, help me understand the vast array of information now available on global business. Finally, I like how the authors provide useful summaries of business practices in various regions, the relevant international business organizations and agencies, etc. In sum, this is an indispensable reference for those serious about global business and finance.
