Review

′This is an extremely helpful and imaginative set of readings which MBA and other business students will find very useful. The Editor makes a compelling case for business students to be aware of the economic and social policy environment in which modern business has to operate. It distinguishesitself from other Readers by considering policy environment questions fromdifferent theoretical perspectives. Policy Issues for Business will therefore be an important addition to course teaching in this area′- Ajit Singh, University of Cambridge
