"In today's economy it is widely recognized that the size and growth of multicultural populations are closely linked to successful marketplace performance of business on a national level, and especially in urban communities. This book combines business case studies, theory, historical context, policy implications, statistical data, and financial and management concepts to provide students a full range of information and tools to address issues of how businesses can effectively reach multicultural markets in urban areas, and beyond."
