Hello All:

I will be teaching an MBA course in International Management in the fall, and I'm writing to ask for text/case suggestions. I've taught the course before, but it's been five or six years, and I had a different type of student (i.e., more traditional, early twenties) then.

My students will be working students, some in managerial positions, and I'd like to include a heavy dose of case discussion as part of the course. Given their backgrounds, suggestions for cases covering large companies (especially in banking, insurance, healthcare, heavy mfg) would be most welcome. Any suggestions for texts (either with or without cases included) that you’ve had success with at this level would also be helpful.

Please reply directly to me (flohrke@cba.ua.edu) and I will compile responses for the listserv, if anyone is interested.

Thanks for any and all suggestions.

Bartlett's and Ghoshal's "Text, Cases and Readings in Cross-Border
Management", McGraw-Hill, contains mostly cases of large companies and
is quite suitable for an IM course.

I can recommend Paul Gooderham and Odd Nordaug's book. It is recent, well crafted and full of cases written by a genuinely international mix of scholars - full details at (http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/book.asp?ref=0631233423)

Bartlett and Ghoshal, Transnational Management, is good...Text is a little
redundant, but it has good articles and cases.
