The international edition of the 7th edition of International Business is a steal! It's the same as the hardcover US edition textbook word for word, but it's about $80 cheaper. As far as the textbook itself, it is very informative and easy to read.

Do not buy this for your Kindle. There are no page numbers so you're unable to skip or go back to certain pages if you need to. This will be the last time I buy a college book for my Kindle.

It is a really great book, and I have noticed that the International Version is the same as the US Version. For the price, it's cheaper, so I think it was a great choice.

I have used Charles Hill's textbook since 5th edition - it is now in 8th. While some aspects do dip into the arcane, especially economic theory, the book is the best I have found to produce a solid basis for an introduction to international business.

That said, in my view the textbook is not enough. The instructor must use resources such as the NY Times, WSJ and Economist. This is a very fast changing business field, and is headline driven. Relying solely on this textbook offers the students too little insights into fast changing paradigms and models.

Warning to instructors - the class supplements (Ppt charts, exam questions) have gotten weaker and you will need to supplement them with the above resources to ensure a vibrant and modern classroom experience.

An informative book, however given it supposed to be international the focus is heavily american and on american institutions, not particularly helpful for other countries.

This is a well laid out international business book with lots of interesting case studies in a number of important areas in international business.

Ordered this book for an online course that I was registered for. The book was the exact material that I need for the course. The book arrived in great time and the pages were all intact. WOuld order from this seller again.

Good book cheap price and was exactly what is needed. I can't believe that it got here so quick. vendor did every thing that was posted.

I really really disliked this book. It was a text for my International business class and it was entirely too long, too wordy, and redundant. I felt it repeated itself and the chapters were to long. It would be better to have less information in order to make more of an impact on the important items. Overall i think this is the worst international business book i have ever used.

This book was mailed to me on time. It is an international edition but it is exactly the same as the U.S. edition but costs much less than the U.S. edition. Great deal!
