4.0 out of 5 stars An enormous, albeit dated list of interesting business sites, December 17, 2003

This review is from: The Thunderbird Guide to International Business Resources on the World Wide Web (Paperback)

Compiled at Thunderbird, the American Graduate School of International Management, this class project provides links to an enormous amount of information. And, given the current business environment, even relatively small, seemingly local businesses have global requirements. This list of web pages will allow you to surf locations in the country of interest and get information that in many cases is simply unavailable elsewhere. For example: http://tjev.tel.etf.hr/hrvatska/ HR.html is the home page of the republic of Croatia, and http://www.Afrique.corn/ Africaonline/Copyright.html is billed as Africa' s gateway to the Internet.
Most addresses also contain pointers to additional web sites in that country and the data ranges from investment opportunities to people just interested in communicating with others.
If you are interested in the latest information about a country produced by those in that country, or just want to have an international web pal, then this is the place to start. It is an extremely inexpensive and effective way to learn about the world, which in many cases is now only a mouse click away.
