International Business–Society Management is the product of an ongoing research effort on the interaction between International Business strategies, regulation and societal change. Several research projects are under way, of which only a small part has already been published. This book explains the main concepts and principles pioneered at RSM. The publication of this book coincides with the launching of a website (www.ib-sm.org). The Internet offers an excellent means to keep up with research projects at the Expert Centre and perhaps even to contribute to it. It offers visitors the opportunity to comment on the book and refine its concepts and assertions. Moreover, the site is frequently updated with recent examples, research results, issue discussions and exemplary cases. The website gives tutors access to material for discussions in class or courses. The website contains the following material:

• Case studies: many additional cases, employing the methodology found in Part III
• Issue dossiers: dossiers of many of the issues discussed in this volume, applying the methodology of Chapter 10
