Exchange Rates and the Firm Reviews

'This is a very timely volume. The creation of the EMU and the Asian currency crisis pose vast challenges to the conduct of international business. Where should a plant be located? When should a product be introduced in a new market? In which currency and how should prices be set? This volume presents the state-of-art answers to these important questions. Dr Friberg writes with great clarity and he illustrates throughout with important cases and insightful examples. The business, academic, and policy communities will find this small volume to be extremely valuable.' - Carsten Kowalczyk, Associate Professor of International Economics, Tufts University, Massachusetts
