Author: David J Sharp

The Ivey Casebooks Series is a co-publishing partnership between SAGE Publications and the Richard Ivey School of Business at The University of Western Ontario. Due to their popularity in more than 60 countries, approximately 200 new cases are added to the Ivey School of Business library each year. Each of the casebooks comes equipped with Instructor's Resources on CD-ROM. These affordable collections will not only help students connect to real-world situations, but will benefit corporations seeking continued education in the field as well.  

Cases in Business Ethics provides the opportunity for students not only to discuss the application of ethical theories in managerial situations, but also to apply judgment and make decisions in a real-world context. This collection of cases focuses on business decision- making, and includes both short and long, more complex cases that highlight the practicalities of business practice and ethical theory. A beneficial feature of Cases in Business Ethics is the variety of ways in which the cases can be organized to fit the course curriculum. The instructor's resources on CD-ROM includes detailed 6-10 page casenotes for each case, preparation questions for students to review before class, discussion questions, and suggested further readings.

China in the World Market: Chinese Industry and International Sources of Reform in the Post-Mao Era

Author: Thomas Gale Moor

Thomas G. Moore examines the role of the outside world as a source of change in post-Mao China. Based on extensive documentary and interview material, the book adds the Chinese case to a long tradition of country-based studies by political economists, historians, and area specialists that have chronicled the experiences of developing countries as they enter specific industrial markets in the world economy. This book will be timely and provocative reading for anyone concerned with the nature of China's deepening participation in the world economy and its consequences for the country's development prospects, internal reforms, and foreign policy.

Moore (political science, U. of Cincinnati) studies the impact of outside economic forces on the reform and restructuring of Chinese businesses in the period following Deng Xiaoping's institution of the Open Door policy. He argues that industry-specific trade regimes have had a profound impact on the Chinese economy, disrupting state interventionism and promoting reform. Contrary to many analysts, he contends that China has benefited from protectionist trade regimes in such industries as textiles and shipbuilding. China's economy, while relatively open to free trade environments, also has a strong domestic filter that helps its industries compete. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
