New technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, the Internet of Things (IoT), etc. are redefining business processes around the world at a rapid rate and resulting in both great opportunities and challenges for businesses. Though these technologies are extensively being used in developed countries, emerging economies are also not far behind.
Disruptive Technologies in International Business advances the understanding of technological applications in business within an international paradigm. With its in-depth discussions of diverse topics such as the global value chain (GVC), environmental risk management, IoT, Surface Mobility, and anime, the book argues that technologies offer many advantages but there are accompanying risks, challenges, and disadvantages as well. The need of the hour is to address the impact of these technologies on the environment, society, and economy of the world. This book offers a collage of insights on how these technologies can potentially change the playing field in businesses and countries and contribute to the betterment of society.
This book will provide business practitioners, international organizations, government officials, and policy makers with inspiration and new leads toward more efficient systems, policies, and operational frameworks in our increasingly technology-driven society.
Review Quotes
"Say the words disruptive technologies and what comes to mind are Silicon Valley, DC, New York, and London. But far away from the tech zones of the developed countries, a revolution is brewing in developing countries. From Haiti to India, innovative and disruptive technologies are changing the face of international business. Maurya, Munoz, Gaur and Singh, along with a powerful group of experts, have tackled the important issue of cross pollination of knowledge and innovation - but this time with an eye on the emergence of disruptive technologies from the Global South. A timely and powerful book."
--Dr. Al Naqvi, CEO, American Institute of Artificial Intelligence
"Disruptive Technologies in International Business is a great introduction to the underlying technologies that are changing international business and, as a result, our daily lives as well. The authors and contributors cover a plethora of use cases, from marketing and smart cities to daily surface mobility, where many of us have already felt the impact of disruption in our daily lives. The book is insightful, with contributions from an impressive array of subject matter experts. I would highly recommend it for students, practitioners and anyone else who seeks insight and understanding of technology implications to their strategic business plans."

"This edited book titled Disruptive Technologies in International Business is an excellent anthology and a potpourri of various chapters that address many significant aspects of Disruptive Technologies (DT) in various parts of the world, such as India, Japan and some island economies.
