Exports Books

All nations participate in international trade, and for most economies, a substantial share of domestic output is exported, and a large part of total expenditure is on imported items. International trade is a central concern of all governments' economic policies.

This book provides an introduction to the economic analysis of international trade policies, focusing on the effects of various policies and using this positive analysis both to determine which trade policies should be adopted and to explain why existing policies have been adopted.

Aimed at student swith a fairly rudimentary background in economic principles, and concentrating exclusively on trade issues, the book will be adopted on numerous courses in international economics. It features the most up-to-date material in the field, including imperfect competition, intra-industry trade, and the political economy of tariff barriers; and draws on examples from a range of countries at all levels of development.

John R. Jagoe (Director, Export Institute) provides comprehensive and authoritative information on exporting from the United States in this publication. Available in three formats (softbound text, CD-ROM and via the Internet), it can serve as a step-by-step guide for the beginner or as a reference for the experienced individual. The electronic versions provide excellent search capabilities (via Acrobat) and very easy access to numerous links to additional sources of information.

Although other recent works are also available, e.g., Amy Zuckerman and David Biederman, Exporting and Importing (Choice March 1999), Beley Seyoum, Export-Import Theory, Practices And Procedures (Choice November 2000), and David Neipert, A Tour of International Trade (Choice March 2000), none focus solely on the export side or offer as much detail on exporting. Moreover, the availability of the electronic versions gives Jagoe's publication a decided edge.

The manual guides the reader through the entire export procedure, and the marketing approach the author uses makes for interesting reading. Supported by tables, figures, charts, checklists, extensive appendices and a 30-page glossary, libraries are advised to acquire the Internet or CD-ROM version in addition to the print manual.

A very useful resource for businesses, government agencies, and professional associations involved in exporting or in international trade. The manual is also recommended for upper- division undergraduate and above collections that are supporting strong programs in exporting or international trade.

This book describes both the historical and present incarnations of the Keiretsu, and offers clear explanations as to their influence on the way Japan, Inc. works. What distinguishes this book, however, are brutally candid insider portraits about life within the manufacturing heirarchies of Japan, Inc. The result is a comprehensive picture of Japan's business climate, presented as vividly as anything you will find on the subject

This book is one of the best books that is available for Korean Ethics and Business. The author explains the different categories of Korean Business, gives a history and explains the Korean Character. The author explains that Korea is one of the newest markets that is growing rapidly.The Korean products are very competitive just like the Japanese products. This book is very valuable for anyone doing business in South Korea or doing business with Koreans in their own country.

This is a wonderful book, cataloging an amazing exhibit. The writing is clear, informative and interesting and the images are beautifully photographed. Anyone interested in porcelain or even decorative arts more generally should certainly buy this book, written by an up and coming curator and the leading expert in the field. This book would make a great gift.

Managers & Mantras is a superb account of a company's struggle with the outside influences of consultants, B-school management theory, and stock market analysts.

Butler and Keary trace the progression of Inchcape plc from its beginnings as a shipping/trading company, to its establishment as an "international marketing, services and distribution group", to its current form as an automotive services group. The transformation of the company from a diversified conglomerate to a de-mergered, focused business comprises the majority of the book, and with good intent. During this time the management of Inchcape looked to the top consulting firms and business schools for advice and assistance in order to both become successful and maintain a good standing with the stock market analysts.

An amazing amount of personal insight and detail is provided in the descriptions of the company's efforts to define itself, its mission, and its future direction.

Managers & Mantras does not read like any other business book on the shelves. I was swept into it from the first chapter because it tells a compelling story while at the same time provides many first-hand lessons of the pitfalls of a firm's adherance to the fashionable management theory of the day (the 'mantras' of the title).

I thoroughly enjoyed Managers & Mantras and I highly recommend it to anyone wishing to gain insight into the practical application of management theory.

I accidentally became an exporter two weeks ago. And this book REALLY brought me up to speed quickly and saved my rear end in a big way.

Up until two weeks ago, my products had all been sold domestically. I naively decided to accept an order from Japan, and before I knew it, I was an exporter. At first you might think...."Easy, I'll just box it up and give it to the FedEx guy" Ha! If you are shipping a high technology item, double Ha!! As my delivery date loomed, I bought this book, hoping that it could save me and prevent this sale from de-railing. Miracle of miracles, this book really worked.

I started reading the sections that I thought were most relevant, and then oddly found myself becoming fascinated with the entire subject. I started digging deeper into each chapter and learning more and more. Do you know that great feeling when you have added a new skill set to your repertoire? That's how I feel now.

I highly recommend this book. Not only does it contain great information for exports, but it actually helped me discover that this subject is actually quite fascinating and nuanced!

This book is a highly useful tool that can help you to understand the multilateral system of commerce as it is nowadays. Its author, José Luis Pérez Gabilondo, is an Argentinian diplomat that works on issues related to economic multilateral issues. He is also a professor, and wrote this book for his students, in order to be able to offer them a text in Spanish about the increasingly important subject of economic controversies in the Multilateral System of Commerce.

This "Manual Sobre Solución de controversias en la O.M.C." is divided in four parts. The first is a general introduction about the Multilateral System of Commerce. The second part tackles the system for the solution of controversies, and the third part deals with some basic principles of the Multilateral System of Commerce (and what to do when there is conflict between them). Finally, in the last part the author analyzes some Argentinian cases, and how they were solved.

All in all, I think that this book will help students, or anybody who is just interested in the subject, to understand at least the basics of the subject at hand: that is, the solution of controversies in the World Trade Organization. In the words of the author, "(...) es difícil pensar cualquier esquema de inserción económico comercial internacional sin tener presente el conjunto de derechos y obligaciones aceptados por los integrantes del sistema multilateral de comercio, plasmados en el paquete de normas de Derecho Internacional Púlico que dieron nacimiento a la OMC". In the end, only those who know the rules of the game can hope to play it well...
