    Call for Chapters
    Proposals Submission Deadline: November 15, 2015
    Full Chapters Due: January 15, 2016
    Submission Date: May 15, 2016

    Introduction
    International business (IB) has plenty of extant literature, but the
    missing component in that literature is how IB is affected by the "hidden
    dynamics" of diplomacy, espionage, and geopolitics as these realities are
    generally not considered in business operations because they are largely
    hidden from public view and understanding. This is particularly important
    when considering global hypercompetition and sustainable economics in IB.
    This publication will connect these issues with IB and provide some
    explanation regarding the importance for business executives and managers
    to consider such issues in strategic planning and operations.

    Objective
    The value of this publication is to provide business and government
    executives with reference material that can be used in strategic planning
    and operations, among other functions such as human resource management and security. Because there is no extant literature which covers the effects of diplomacy, espionage, and geopolitics on IB in one source or publication, this book would be of particular value to executives, researchers, and graduate students of IB and related subjects

    Target Audience
    The target audience includes business and government executives, graduate
    and undergraduate business students, and scholar-practitioners who need a
    single source regarding the understudied effects of diplomacy, espionage,
    and geopolitics on international business
