The Routledge Companion to the Geography of International Business

The fields of geography and international business share an interest in the same phenomena, whilst each provides both a differing perspective and different research methods in attempting to understand those phenomena. This book crystallises how the complementarities between the two fields may fruitfully and best be exploited.'This is a welcome and timely contribution to the interdisciplinary space that has long existed between the fields of economic geography and international business. It brings together leading scholars from both disciplines in a wide-ranging volume that is sure to be essential reading for anyone interested in the many theoretical and empirical intersections that span these fields.' - Professor Andrew Jones, Vice-President (Research and Enterprise), City, University of London 'This comprehensive volume shows that International Business and Economic Geography are cognate, linked and complementary fields of endeavour.? An outstanding list of authors provide a compelling guide to the synergies between these two research fields and the mutual benefits that cooperation across the subjects can bring.? This results in a strong research agenda for the future.' - Professor Peter J Buckley OBE, FBA, Centre for International Business University of Leeds (CIBUL) 'This Companion decidedly shows how the disciplines of Economic Geography and International Business can and should engage with each other. An excellent collection of works by an array of authors, from household names to younger talent, from across the World.' - Gabriel R.G. Benito, BI Norwegian Business School
