While acquisitions and expansion strategies are understood as exciting in the business world, contraction activities are received less enthusiastically. Nevertheless, portfolio restructuring constitutes a strategic tool to increase the strategic focus of firms and achieve economies of scale and an efficient control of multiple business units. This restructuring thus has distinct implications for companies and units. The Handbook of Research on Corporate Restructuring and Globalization provides emerging research on the theoretical infrastructure for portfolio restructuring in a single piece of work and explores important topics in the field including the implications on foreign and domestic units and the degree to which increasing globalization influences restructuring practices. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as emerging markets, risk assessment, and global business, this book is ideally designed for corporate managers, government officials, scholars, researchers, and students.

This book analyzes the changing dynamics of competition and the emergence of deglobalization trends and processes. The authors begin by explaining the role of technology on globalization and its impact on competitive strategy. Then, they present a theoretical framework that outlines the connection between globalization and modern society. The book also delves into the shift toward deglobalization and addresses how the onset of the COVID-10 pandemic has accelerated the process. Concluding with a discussion of how the 4th Industrial Revolution has resulted in new paradigms for business, this book will fill a gap through its investigation of an emerging concept for scholars in international business.
