Title overview

Explore the internal and external environments in which business operates today

The Business Environment: A Global Perspective, 9th Edition, by Thompson, Worthington and Britton offers an introduction to how domestic and international business environments operate. Employing a PESTLE model, the text explains contexts, types of organization and markets, dealing with issues in socioeconomic, political and legal structures. It helps you put theory into practice with case studies from local and international organizations. New chapters on the Covid-19 pandemic and de-globalizing factors, including Brexit, convey the complexity of the business environment.
