The past three or four decades have seen a steep rise in the number of cross-border operations taking place throughout the world, as measured in terms of trade flows (imports-exports), FDI (foreign direct investment), or joint venture initiatives. The scope and depth of today’s international business operations would suggest that cross-border contacts are inevitable for all but a small minority of companies. If we accept this premise, then it surely follows that those companies that wish to operate competitively should be prepared to adapt their operations accordingly.

As a generalisation, researchers tend to be interested in data (from an investigation) which is collected at that point in time, whereas businesses tend to be interested in data which enables them to make year-on-year comparisons (of profits, market share etc.). What this supplement does is to take procedures, from the original text, and adapt them to moving data sets. (The kind of data principally used in business.) For this supplement, Mark Taylor has not simply used examples from business to illustrate the statistical procedures explained in his original text Interacting with Statistics, he has produced a supplementary text which is a step-by-step manual to the variations on those (statistical) procedures, in order to account for the fundamental difference in the data (sets) used by businesses and researchers, principally moving data sets.

This volume of essays originated from a conference held at the then Maastricht (now Middelburg) Centre for Transatlantic Studies in 2006. MCTS is a consortium of U.S., Mexican, and European institutions that brings together students and faculty in the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences to study issues and developments that both unite and separate countries on either side of the Atlantic. These papers explore the range of shared and sometimes confl icting concerns not just in international relations (although that is an important part of the collection), but also on historical, cultural, and political issues. In doing so, they highlight the variety of different ways in which transatlantic studies can offer insights into experiences that cross simple national and physical boundaries both in the past and present day.
