This publication is a synthesis of multiple international business functions and issues in the post-pandemic era that culminates in a single handbook volume based on empirical research, theoretical development, and business practice.

Therefore, a paradigm shift in thinking about international business operations is needed now due to continued global business uncertainty today.
