This review is from: International Business Transactions: Problems, Cases, And Materials (Casebook) (Hardcover)

If like me, you don't even know what international business transactions consist of, then this book will help you out. The ins and outs of getting your product to another country and the different agreements to help you get there along with considerations that a company must make when doing so, to understanding how payments go along the chain to get to/from you to another party in another country is discussed. Definitely a useful book for those who have a strong interest in international law.
