The series of materials, ‘An Investigation into the Relational Actors and Business Networks: Case and Analysis' is designed for your learning exercises based on the live case studies of the business behaviour in the global market. This is the first issue of the series, presenting the active analyses and discussions based on three cases, Toyota, Nissan, and Gap.The case discussions explore and evaluate the theoretical and practical perspectives in contemporary management issues, focusing on business relationships and networking of relational actors. Drawing upon the research conducted by my colleague researchers of Bournemouth University and me, we designed this book as a practical learning material to give the readers a critical understanding of the relevant theories and models, by providing the key outline of the analysis and discussions of contemporary issues in global businesses.
