Summary:

U.S. trade policy significantly affects both domestic and world economic conditions, though a gap exists between large political issues of trade policy and day-to-day corporate business decisions in America. This collection provides a bridge between U.S. trade policies (actual and expected)and the financial, marketing, operations, organizational, and strategic aspects of corporate business policy, presenting analysis of trade policy and its volatility, and exploring its effects on the functional activities of corporations.
