Reviews & Statements

I recommend this handbook as it has some good papers providing constructive analysis on industrial policies for structural upgrading in Latin America which is important in addressing the region’s middle income trap. The handbook is useful to academic researcher, business practitioners, and government policy-makers.

– Ye-Sho Chen, Director of Globalization and Professor of Information Systems and Decision Sciences, Louisiana State University, USA

Topics covered include an examination of technological adoption and implementation in Latin American countries, ideologies and practices of management, tax evasion, and business ethics in Latin America, and profiles of multinationals throughout the region, as well as profiles of Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and the Caribbean as a whole.
