This much-anticipated text and exercise book set is an absolute must for students and teachers seeking an in-depth and up-to-date perspective on contemporary Chinese business communications. Designed for students in their third or fourth year of a Chinese language curriculum at the undergraduate or graduate level, Open for Business combines language learning with an introduction to trends, practices, and problems in today's business environment. Upon satisfactory completion of this one-year course, students will be able to read Chinese-language newspapers, magazines, and other business-related documents as well as make business presentations or conduct business negotiations in Chinese. Traditional and Simplified. B/w photos throughout.
As it was number two in the series, I hoped for some more interesting or advanced content. I was disappointed. Texts a still boring, essentially useless, and the explanations are not very helpful.
