‘Handbooks are seldom innovative, even when they are about innovation, but this volume on innovations in international business stands out by its refreshingly diverse and up-to-date collection of contributions. Editors Dikova and Ipsmiller have done an excellent job in putting together a Handbook that covers considerable ground in terms of topics, industries, and geography, and which provides a nice balance between useful overviews and new empirical insights. The list of authors includes several well-established professors in the area as well as upcoming researchers. In all, a most useful addition to the literature on the evermore important issue of innovation for firms that compete globally.’ -- Gabriel R.G. Benito, BI Norwegian Business School, Norway
