Abstract

The book adresses a topic that is of great importance, both from theoretical as well as practical perspectives. Selected theoretical aspects of direct investment and multinational enterprises and their embedding in modern foreign trade theory are the focus of Broll's research. For the Anglo-Saxon countries, one can observe an large interest in foreign trade issues over the last decade. In German-speaking countries, the spread of more recent theoretical insights has not advanced that quickly. Thus, Broll's book fills an important gap on the German market for textbooks.
