PryMarke LLC Signs Agreement for Reference Book on Latin America
"Economic Growth and Technological Change in Latin America" is PryMarke's fifth book effort.
LINDEN, MI, April 15, 2013
Today the Chairman of Michigan-based PryMarke, LLC signed a book contract with IGI Global of Pennsylvania to develop a book for those interested in economic and technological issues in Latin America. Bryan Christiansen said this is PryMarke's fifth contract with IGI Global to develop reference books on global business- and technology-related issues. He decided to develop the book after reviewing the experiences he acquired while doing his PhD field research in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Panama during 2004-06 in the Spanish language."As Latin America becomes increasingly intertwined with the global economy, investment continues to develop not only in a one-way direction to the region from developed world economies such as the USA or the European Union, but also in a complex pattern which involves investment by Latin American Multinational Corporations ("Multilatinas") out of and within the region itself," said Christiansen who is a former business professor at universities in Turkey and the USA.
The primary objective of the proposed publication is that of Reference material for scholars, business executives, scholar-practitioners, and university students who need to better understand the growing importance Latin America in today's global economy. The secondary objective is to provide a foundation for other similar books on the subject.
