教學(xué)對(duì)象
徐州師范大學(xué)外國語學(xué)院商貿(mào)英語專業(yè)三年級(jí)學(xué)生。按照我國高等學(xué)?；A(chǔ)階段英語教學(xué)大綱的要求在英語知識(shí)和能力方面得到了強(qiáng)化和提高，基本上完成了基礎(chǔ)階段的英語學(xué)習(xí)，應(yīng)認(rèn)知單詞約5000--6000個(gè)并能正確運(yùn)用其中的3000個(gè)左右，同時(shí)應(yīng)已學(xué)完或正在學(xué)習(xí)與本課程教學(xué)內(nèi)容密切相關(guān)的經(jīng)貿(mào)商務(wù)專業(yè)基礎(chǔ)課程，如宏微觀經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)、政治經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)、國際貿(mào)易理論、對(duì)外貿(mào)易實(shí)務(wù)等。教學(xué)任務(wù)和目的
《商務(wù)英語文選》課程的教學(xué)任務(wù)和目的是：在學(xué)生現(xiàn)有的英語語言技能和相關(guān)經(jīng)貿(mào)理論與實(shí)務(wù)知識(shí)的基礎(chǔ)上，通過大量閱讀，使他們掌握西方商務(wù)報(bào)刊文章的內(nèi)容特點(diǎn)和語言特色，在閱讀實(shí)踐中培養(yǎng)并提高他們理解和研究國際經(jīng)貿(mào)商務(wù)信息的能力，同時(shí)擴(kuò)大和深化其語言和專業(yè)知識(shí)，增強(qiáng)語言運(yùn)用能力和交流能力，并鍛煉其邏輯思維能力。教學(xué)原則
通過教學(xué)加強(qiáng)學(xué)生思想教育。按照我國的教育方針，商貿(mào)英語專業(yè)的教育目標(biāo)應(yīng)該是培養(yǎng)有文化有社會(huì)主義覺悟的對(duì)外經(jīng)貿(mào)跨學(xué)科人才?！渡虅?wù)英語文選》課程也要在傳授文化知識(shí)的同時(shí)進(jìn)行思想教育。在教學(xué)當(dāng)中要通過文章內(nèi)容的分析，說明對(duì)外經(jīng)貿(mào)事業(yè)隨著我國加入世貿(mào)組織而面對(duì)新的挑戰(zhàn)和機(jī)遇，說明加入國際經(jīng)濟(jì)大循環(huán)對(duì)推進(jìn)改革開放、全面實(shí)現(xiàn)小康的重要性，揭示國際經(jīng)貿(mào)的高度復(fù)雜性和競爭的日益激化，使學(xué)生對(duì)國際商務(wù)工作的性質(zhì)有較深刻的認(rèn)識(shí)，并加強(qiáng)學(xué)生對(duì)當(dāng)前學(xué)習(xí)以及對(duì)未來工作的責(zé)任感。正確處理語言知識(shí)和語言能 外國語學(xué)院

力的關(guān)系掌握語言知識(shí)和發(fā)展語言能力是互相促進(jìn)、相輔相成，缺一不可。與此同時(shí)應(yīng)當(dāng)明確：商務(wù)英語專業(yè)所培養(yǎng)的對(duì)象將來絕大部分要從事涉外商務(wù)工作。因此，進(jìn)行教學(xué)在充分注意傳授語言知識(shí)的同時(shí)，要著重培養(yǎng)和提高學(xué)生的運(yùn)用語言的能力。
為此，在教學(xué)中要認(rèn)真貫徹“啟發(fā)式”的教學(xué)原則，誘導(dǎo)學(xué)生大量反復(fù)地運(yùn)用已有的語言知識(shí)去理解、分析、研究所學(xué)內(nèi)容，逐步形成解決實(shí)際問題的能力。資料的查詢也是學(xué)習(xí)中必不可缺的一個(gè)部分，在教學(xué)中要使學(xué)生掌握并熟練運(yùn)用資料查詢的方法、途徑。例如詞義可以查閱字典，背景知識(shí)可以通過互聯(lián)網(wǎng)搜索?；ヂ?lián)網(wǎng)的普及，給資料的查詢帶來了極大方便。另一方面，信息量的爆炸性增長，也給信息的處理和篩選增加的大量的工作。所以，能否迅速查閱到所需信息，在今后工作中也起到至關(guān)重要的作用，英語信息查詢也是學(xué)生通過本課 程培養(yǎng)提高的一種重要技能。
正確處理有關(guān)外貿(mào)知識(shí)介紹和語言教學(xué)的關(guān)系
《商務(wù)英語文選》課程是一門專業(yè)英語課，脫離了特定的專業(yè)內(nèi)容就無所謂專業(yè)英語。所以，專業(yè)英語的教學(xué)必然要和有關(guān)專業(yè)內(nèi)容的介紹結(jié)合進(jìn)行，才可說明英語在這一專業(yè)領(lǐng)域內(nèi)是如何傳遞信息的。本課程通過根據(jù)所教授語言內(nèi)容的需要，恰如其分地介紹經(jīng)貿(mào)知識(shí)和其它有關(guān)專業(yè)內(nèi)容以配合、促進(jìn)語言教學(xué)，同時(shí)也起到幫助學(xué)生鞏固和豐富有關(guān)專業(yè)知識(shí)的作用。靈活選用教學(xué)法

《商務(wù)英語文選》課程的學(xué)期成績由三部分組成：平時(shí)占20%、期中考查占10%、期末考試占70%。
平時(shí)成績包括本課程的各種作業(yè)（口筆頭）和學(xué)生課堂表現(xiàn)；期末考試的要求：平行班級(jí)在期末都要求舉行統(tǒng)一命題的閉卷測試，并進(jìn)行統(tǒng)一流水閱卷。課程教材
選用對(duì)外經(jīng)貿(mào)大學(xué)王關(guān)富教授主編的《商務(wù)英語閱讀》（2002年8月高等教育出版社出版，“十五”國家級(jí)規(guī)劃教材）。本教材是由資深教授率領(lǐng)對(duì)經(jīng)貿(mào)英語進(jìn)行了多年深入研究并同時(shí)具有常年一線教學(xué)經(jīng)驗(yàn)的教師團(tuán)隊(duì)精心編撰而成。所選文章既有集中體現(xiàn)國際經(jīng)貿(mào)商務(wù)中最具普遍意義的內(nèi)容，又有涉及當(dāng)代國際經(jīng)貿(mào)主要領(lǐng)域的專題文章，并且配備了大量具有針對(duì)性的練習(xí)，有助于幫助實(shí)現(xiàn)本課程的教學(xué)目標(biāo)。
鑒于商務(wù)報(bào)刊英語是英語語言中發(fā)展甚為活躍的部分，教學(xué)必須動(dòng)態(tài)跟進(jìn)。因此，本課程根據(jù)國際經(jīng)貿(mào)形勢的發(fā)展，結(jié)合教學(xué)重點(diǎn)補(bǔ)充選用最新的報(bào)刊時(shí)文，以反映當(dāng)今世界經(jīng)貿(mào)商務(wù)領(lǐng)域的最新動(dòng)態(tài)，為教學(xué)提供最鮮活的專業(yè)知識(shí)和英語語言素材。教學(xué)內(nèi)容與安排

Chapter 1 The Long March Ｉ．教學(xué)目的
通過本課程的學(xué)習(xí)使學(xué)生了解中國企業(yè)和產(chǎn)品正在經(jīng)歷的國際化進(jìn)程，從只是為外國跨國公司加工產(chǎn)品的“Made in China”到逐漸開始在國際市場上擁有自己的產(chǎn)品品牌，中國企業(yè)和品牌已開始在國際市場上崛起，但在真正成功之前還需要進(jìn)行一次“萬里長征”，還面臨各種挑戰(zhàn)與困難。作者撰文此文的目的是要提醒西方讀者：注意中國企業(yè)的國際市場戰(zhàn)略動(dòng)態(tài)，如何借中國企業(yè)希圖打入海外市場之力，更為輕松地進(jìn)入中國市場。在語言文字方面，學(xué)生應(yīng)當(dāng)仔細(xì)閱讀本文，熟悉掌握商務(wù)英語的特點(diǎn)，包括相關(guān)的商務(wù)詞匯和用語，增強(qiáng)用準(zhǔn)確流利的語言表達(dá)商務(wù)專業(yè)內(nèi)容的能力。II．教學(xué)計(jì)劃

1．China’s economic development in 2003 The year of 2003 was important yet unusual for China in its development,in which China achieved a great deal in the reform and opening up drives.China overcame all the difficulties caused by the outbreak of SARS epidemic and other severe natural disasters, and maintained a high economic growth of 9.1 per cent averaged for the year.GNP readings in that year rose over USD 1,400 billion, ranking the 6th of the world’s largest economies, and its per capita GDP was past the milestone of USD 1,000.The national financial institutes registered a remarkable growth.Export and import increased substantially with a combined total of more than USD 850 billion, up by 37.1%over the same period of the previous year.And the same figure eased China into the 4th largest trader in the world, with a growth of 34.6 per cent in export and 39.9 per cent in import.China’s import from the rest of the Asian region increased by 42.2 per cent, including Japan(38.7%), India(51.0%), South Korea(87%)and the ASEAN countries and regions(51.7%), respectively.China is now a main trade partner with other Asian countries and regions.An accumulated total of USD 53.5 billion in foreign direct investment was channeled for actual use in the year of 2003.By the end of that same year the outstanding balance of foreign exchange reserves stood at USD 403.3 billion and Renminbi remained stable.These achievements point to the all-time high in the national strength and capability.2.課文的相關(guān)資料
本文發(fā)表在香港出版的《遠(yuǎn)東經(jīng)濟(jì)評(píng)論》（Far East Economic Review）上，是封面文章，亦即重頭文章。
標(biāo)題是the Long March，作者在此借紅軍的長征來比喻中國企業(yè)和產(chǎn)品國際化的過程，屬于修辭上的“典故”用法。誠如媒體共識(shí)：中國企業(yè)要想在全球市場上參與競爭，“萬里長征”尚在初級(jí)階段，爭取把“中國制造”的產(chǎn)品打造成全球性的知名品牌，還需要經(jīng)歷許多的競爭、挫折、甚至失敗，到達(dá)目的地之前“還有很長的路要走”。

業(yè)迎接全球化挑戰(zhàn)的認(rèn)識(shí)”一文，王健教授在接受《國際商報(bào)》世紀(jì)刊記者采訪時(shí)，從其海外經(jīng)歷談到了中國企業(yè)走向國際化的各種問題及解決方案。讀者可以參看?！侗本┣嗄陥?bào)》2003年06月19日發(fā)表了該報(bào)記者陳玉明采寫的長篇報(bào)道，題目是“日本還是不是我們的老師”。文章中的一些觀點(diǎn)很有見地，對(duì)于我們理解本文以及進(jìn)一步關(guān)注同一議題，具有極大的參考價(jià)值。人所共知，“中國制造”的弱點(diǎn)或者說軟肋在研發(fā)方面?！皼]有核心技術(shù)”，是對(duì)中國家電業(yè)的普遍責(zé)備。比如，代表未來大屏幕彩電發(fā)展方向的等離子電視，其關(guān)鍵部件——等離子顯示屏的生產(chǎn)，全部掌握在6家日韓企業(yè)手中。至于中國的DVD企業(yè)被人家索取高額專利使用費(fèi)的事，就不必再說了。但事實(shí)上，中國家電業(yè)比核心技術(shù)更缺乏的是競爭戰(zhàn)略?；蛘呶覀儞Q一個(gè)說法：中國家電業(yè)并非沒有戰(zhàn)略，問題是大家的“戰(zhàn)略”是趨同的，企業(yè)缺乏自己獨(dú)特的競爭戰(zhàn)略。這種趨同的“戰(zhàn)略”就是規(guī)模二字。上規(guī)模，一直是中國家電企業(yè)的主流競爭戰(zhàn)略。這源于中國家電業(yè)是在短缺經(jīng)濟(jì)時(shí)代起步的，那時(shí)候，誰產(chǎn)得多，誰就賣得多，誰賺的錢也就多，用不著什么“戰(zhàn)略”這套，使勁兒干就是了。但事物的發(fā)展都有個(gè)度。當(dāng)產(chǎn)量的增長已經(jīng)大于現(xiàn)實(shí)需求的時(shí)候，我們的企業(yè)卻沒有轉(zhuǎn)過彎來，仍然慣性地把市場占有率作為經(jīng)營目標(biāo)，當(dāng)了“大王”還想當(dāng)“霸王”，期望以此把對(duì)手?jǐn)D出行業(yè)。但由于體制的原因，中國的很多企業(yè)實(shí)際上是沒有退路的。于是，大家越苦越斗，越斗越苦。國內(nèi)22家家電類上市公司，1999年的凈利潤總額是35.6億元，2000年還有10.4億元，到2001年就是虧損28.4億元了。這表明，中國家電業(yè)長期以來所依賴的簡單復(fù)制式的規(guī)?；l(fā)展之路，作為一個(gè)行業(yè)，已經(jīng)走到盡頭了。日本式的“標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化大規(guī)模生產(chǎn)”將逐步為“個(gè)性化大規(guī)模定制”所取代。競爭戰(zhàn)略趨同導(dǎo)致的另一個(gè)結(jié)果是產(chǎn)品的嚴(yán)重同質(zhì)化。由于大家提供的是使用價(jià)值近乎相同的產(chǎn)品，消費(fèi)者只好在價(jià)格上作出選擇。消費(fèi)者這種“不良”的消費(fèi)取向，導(dǎo)致生產(chǎn)者的利潤水平不斷降低；利潤的降低又導(dǎo)致企業(yè)失去了通過價(jià)值方面的努力改變這一狀況的能力。這與日本企業(yè)的質(zhì)量和成本的同時(shí)改善一樣，都像是“既要馬兒跑得好，又要馬兒不吃草”，顯然是一種難以持續(xù)的經(jīng)營戰(zhàn)略。3.China’s biggest brands by Forbes(10.20.03)
Many Chinese manufacturers have little choice but to go global.Fierce competition at home means future profits lie in selling branded goods in rich countries, just as Japanese and South Korean firms found.It will require a combination of attractive products, good service and first-rate technology.Top Chinese companies are now getting into the branding game.The following are China’s top 15 brands to watch: 外國語學(xué)院

Worldwide Headquarters: 777 Third Avenue New York,NY 10017(212)546-2000 Ed Meyer,CEO Grey Global Group Grey Global Group: Grey Global Group has a celebrated history of excellence and innovation.Our success story began more than 85 years ago…
In 1917, Grey was a one-man, one-room shop.The one man was Larry Valenstein, who borrowed $100 from his mother to start a direct mail company, which he called Grey Studios.By 1925, he had already hired an ambitious assistant named Arthur Fatt and had acquired enough consumer accounts to necessitate a name change to Grey Advertising.They had no money, no connections, no advanced education and no experience in the advertising business.They trusted their native wit, intelligence and street-smart savvy to generate ideas that would build business for their clients and, as a result, for them.Today, Grey has evolved from a one-client, one-room agency to an$12 billion communications powerhouse.Grey Global Group is the 7th largest communications company in the world, and each of its partner companies is focused on being best in class in its particular specialty.The entrepreneurial spirit and vitality that defined Grey’s beginnings continues to characterize the steps we are taking to meet the demands of the new century.5.Kearney History Since 1926 we’ve been providing high-value management consulting services — that’s more than 75 years filled with significant growth and geographic expansion, and long-term relationships with major companies across the globe.For our first 35 years, we stayed true to our Chicago roots until establishing an additional location in 1961.Three years later, we opened our first non-U.S.office in Düsseldorf and went on to create a presence in other parts of Europe, North America, South America, Asia and Africa.In 1995, we joined forces with EDS, a leader in global technology services.Today we are an independent subsidiary consisting of 4000 employees based in more than 60 cities and 35 countries.外國語學(xué)院

1．Definitions to New Economy The term “new economy” has been bandied in the 1990s by journalists, academics, and policy makers in such vague and diverse contexts that the term itself has become synonymous with anything and everything from greater yields on Kansas wheat farms, to better inventory control at Midwest auto parts factories, to billion-dollar IPOs for Silicon Valley dot-com companies.The argument over the existence and definition of the new economy started with the emergence of this term.Advocates and skeptics never come to terms with one another, though the balance now tips in favor of skeptics with the economic pendulum swings from boom to recession.1)Definition One The new economy has been a subject of discussions since the mid 90's among the economists all over the world and especially in the United States.This concept can be described shortly as 'the effects of the new technologies on the current economy'.Those technologies are also named as 外國語學(xué)院

“The Information Technologies” and include the hardware, the software, the telecommunication systems and Internet technologies.First of all, those technologies had an effect on the increase of the productivity of firms.As a result, the firms can now produce more efficiently by using less labor force than before.That micro-economic effect has had a deep macro-economic effect on longer term and has been seen as means of a growth on the GPD in several countries.Another profit of the new technologies is the economic growth gathered by new investments.New employments of the growing information technologies companies in other words companies like IBM, Microsoft, HP, AOL, Yahoo or Nokia have huge impacts on creation of new investments, new job opportunities through the high rates of profit they are making.2)Definition Two There are many versions and interpretations regarding this concept.Nonetheless, the fundamental idea about “new economy” is that it is digital, namely information assumes various forms reduced to bits stored in computers;its knowledge, ideas about goods and how to produce them.Moreover, within the twenty years there have been significant changes in the economy that have been powered by many industries that impact the New Economy, that consist of semiconductors, computers, software, the Internet, telecommunications and biotechnology.In a nut shell, New Economy not only consists of these industries but it is about communication with the computer, the “soft” intangible things such as intelligence funds, information, networks, and primarily modes of communicating.“The New Economy” is often used when describing high-technology businesses or stocks.Sometimes news commentators will separate the stock market into “Old Economy” and “New Economy” stocks rather than NYSE and NASDAQ stock markets.However, The New Economy is more than the latest 'catch-phrase' and involves much more than high-technology companies.Evolving initially from a view of productivity, it is thought that high-technology will directly improve productivity.However, part of this increase will come from new ways of doing business as well as productivity increases that come directly from technology improvements in manufacturing and service business sectors.Productivity is simply a byproduct of the demand for technology.Another aspect of the New Economy is the global economy.The Internet has recently stolen the limelight in the area of global trade.International trade has been improving since the 1960's and it would continue to improve without the Internet.But the 外國語學(xué)院

Internet provides a new avenue for businesses to deliver their products.I think theories of huge retail sales coming of age with the Internet are exaggerated, at least in the near-term.But business-to-business transactions could improve dramatically in the coming years.One area I'm referring to might be suppliers to manufacturers.A large manufacturer could reduce costs by allowing their parts distributors to fill orders to customers and eliminate inventories of repair or spare parts by utilizing their web-site.This allows a great deal of flexibility in the manufacturing process.Other possibilities could include foreign companies bidding for sub-assembly contracts with U.S.manufacturers.The possibilities are only limited to the imagination, but the result would be reductions of average and variable costs.In this sense, all companies can be New Economy companies.The separation of “Old Economy” and “New Economy” companies should be eliminated in the area of technology.Their separation should be restated that there are companies who haven't changed and those who have.Overall, I believe The New Economy is a new and more profitable method of performing business in the future and not unlike the changes that occurred in the past when mass-production became the generator of the changes.It will not only change the way business is performed but will impact governments as well.The Internet provides a vehicle for all governments to be more efficient in planning, informing, as well as interact with their constituents.Past vehicles for doing business that helped transformed this country were canals, roads, and railroads.The future may include “digital bytes” as the latest infrastructure that helps transform the world economy into a new “Industrial Revolution.” But this is different, and not associated with mass-production capabilities.It isn't just an information revolution either.Maybe it would be more appropriate to call it “The Telecommunications Revolution.” The New Economy is a summation of economic benefits from several sources such as worker skills, entrepreneurial skills, productivity, global trade, economies of scale, capital investment, technology, communication, information, the Internet and most important, effective demand.But most important is its demand-orientation and evolutionary nature.And it is important that we understand its nature.It is dynamic and not static as described by most traditional economics textbooks.3)Definition Three When we talk about the new economy, we're talking about a world in which people work with their brains instead of their hands.A world in which communications technology creates global 外國語學(xué)院

competition-not just for running shoes and laptop computers, but also for bank loans and other services that can't be packed into a crate and shipped.A world in which innovation is more important than mass production.A world in which investment buys new concepts or the means to create them, rather than new machines.A world in which rapid change is a constant.A world at least as different from what came before it as the industrial age was from its agricultural predecessor.A world so different its emergence can only be described as a revolution.Free markets are central to it.But simply to say that the new economy is about the unprecedented power of global markets to innovate, to create new wealth, and to distribute it more fairly is to miss the most interesting part of the story.Markets themselves are changing profoundly.Working with information is very different from working with the steel and glass from which our grandparents built their wealth.Information is easier to produce and harder to control than stuff you can drop on your foot.For a start, computers can copy it and ship it anywhere, almost instantly and almost for free.Production and distribution, the basis of industrial power, can increasingly be taken for granted.Innovation and marketing are all.So an information economy is more open-it doesn't take a production line to compete, just a good idea.But it's also more competitive.Information is easy not just to duplicate, but to replicate.Successful firms have to keep innovating to keep ahead of copycats nipping at their heels.The average size of companies shrinks.New products and knockoffs alike emerge in months rather than years, and market power is increasingly based on making sense of an overabundance of ideas rather than rationing scarce material goods.Each added connection to a network's pool of knowledge multiplies the value of the whole-one reason for Microsoft's astonishing growth.The result: new rules of competition, new sorts of organization, new challenges for management.Some zealots talk about a New Economy, capital N, capital E, all too easily caricatured as “there won't be inflation anymore, because of technological change.”Alas, as Stanford economist Paul Romer has reminded us, “If a majority of the Fed's board of governors decided to have 20 percent inflation, they could have it in a year, possibly in months.”Then there's the idea that recessions are things of the past.This comes up at the end of every expansion.What's true is that the shift to an information economy is redefining how we need to think about both good times and bad.We don't know how to measure this new economy, because the productivity of a decision-maker is harder to grasp than the productivity of someone bolting 外國語學(xué)院

investment continues to be maintained and we are lucky enough to escape real and financial shocks in the international economy of the serious kind that could be triggered by the current threats to peace in the Middle East.2)ROBERT SCHILLER, Economics Professor at Yale University, author of Irrational Exuberance, a new book on the stock market bubble
Every decade had its innovations.Now it is the Internet.If we didn't have the Internet we might instead expect below-average economic progress in the future.As far as I can tell, the new economy is business as usual.But the stock market doesn't know that.The Internet has made a huge impression just as the invention of the railroad did in the 19th century, when people stood at the station and saw the powerful trains rumbling in.The impression helped create a big 19th century boom in rail stock.In the'20s you probably got your first radio, telephone, your first car and your first electric refrigerator, and that created quite a sense of how amazing technology was.We saw another spectacular stock-market boom.Fast-forward to the 1990s.The Internet is a wonderful innovation but the public...got overexcited about it.The Internet can retard profitability.There's lots of duplication of investment because everyone is competing.And there's a tendency for the public to blur productivity and profit.Both words start with the letters “pro,” and apparently it is easy for people to think they are the same thing.Historically they are not.You can have nice productivity growth but falling profits.With higher productivity, workers will be paid more, and that will eat into company profits.We don't know if productivity gains will mean higher company profits.3)JOSEPH STIGLITZ, Economics Professor at Stanford University, former Chief Economist, World Bank The increases in productivity in the United States over the last few years are real.And there is every reason to believe that the Internet and computers have played an important role.The Internet is not only an effective way for people to communicate, but it has also made people think about the way business is conducted.That process of rethinking how business is conducted itself has a productivity-enhancing effect.Some people argue that it is nothing more than the normal process of investment.That we have invested a lot and this is the fruit of the investment, that it is not true increases in productivity or increases in so-called total factor productivity.But in some ways that debate is irrelevant.The 外國語學(xué)院

investment has been made in part because of the high returns these technologies produced.If you didn't have the new innovations it would not have been attractive to make the investments.The old laws of economics are still true, but some of the characteristics of new technology are really different from industrial technology.You are going from investing in machines to investing in ideas.Those are very different types of investments.4)ROBERT SOLOW, retired Economics Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Nobel Laureate in Economics Like everyone else I know, I could not understand how the market could put such a big value on companies with no profits and no realistic expectations of profits.The unflattering way to describe the new economy is it's just hype.A more flattering way to put it is there is confusion between an event that is striking in that it affects the way you live and its actual economic importance.Having color TV, instead of black and white, affects everyone's life, but you would not look at the U.S.economy between the'60s and the'80s and say the changes in the economy during that time were dominated by people having a color TV.There has been tremendous productivity growth in the computer industry.You see spectacular reduction in price.That represents cost reduction and productivity increases, but it's not clear that this improvement has spread to sectors using computers.Some 80 percent of IT hardware is sold to the service sector, but it's not showing major increases in productivity.It could be we don't measure productivity in service industries correctly, but I doubt this is the whole story.If you watch the GDP and capital investment rather than the stock markets, it is hard to see any spectacular response you would ascribe to the new economy.For any business that makes an investment in information technology, there is a second-best investment it could have made.What you can impute to the new technology-based economy is only the difference in the returns on those two investments: If you would have gotten 8 percent on an old-economy investment and you get 10 percent on a new-economy investment, the difference is 2 percent.5)HAL VARIAN, Dean of the School of Information Management at the University of California at Berkeley From 1904 to 1908,240 companies entered the automotive business, the Internet of that time.In 1910 the industry went through a consolidation, and many companies went out of business or were absorbed into other firms.As the industry matured, those 240 companies had to be winnowed 外國語學(xué)院

The First Industrial Revolution.In the late 18thcentury,the Industrial Revolution started in Britain but soon extended to continental Europe and America.The Second Industrial Revolution.Despite considerable overlapping with the “old, ”there is mounting evidence for a “new” Industrial Revolution in the late 19th and 20th centuries.In terms of basic materials, modern industry has begun to exploit many natural and synthetic resources not hitherto utilized: lighter metals, new alloys, and synthetic products such as plastics, as well as new energy sources.Combined with these are developments in machines, tools, and computers that have given rise to the automatic factory.Although some segments of industry were almost completely mechanized in the early to mid-19th century, automatic operation, as distinct from the assembly line, first achieved major significance in the second half of the 20th century.Ownership of the means of production also underwent changes.The oligarchical ownership of the means of production that characterized the Industrial Revolution in the early to mid-19th century gave way to a wider distribution of ownership through purchase of common stocks by individuals and by institutions such as insurance companies.In the 20th century, many countries of Europesocialized basic sectors of their economies.There was also a change in political theories:instead of the laissez-faire ideas that dominated the economic and social thought of the classical Industrial Revolution, governments generally moved into the social and economic realm to meet the needs of their more complex industrial societies.外國語學(xué)院

The Netherlands, Austria, Portugal and Finland.Denmark, Sweden and the United Kingdom are members of the European Union but are not currently participating in the single currency.Denmark is a member of the Exchange Rate Mechanism II(ERM II),which means that the Danish krone is linked to the euro, although the exchange rate is not fixed.The successful development of the euro is central to the realization of a Europe in which people, services, capital and goods can move freely.Advantages of the Euro The euro is fundamentally a tool to enhance political solidarity.This political motivation began when the idea of the European Union and a single currency was first conceived.While it also has the economic effect of unifying the economies of participating countries, it ultimately does much more for the European Union.Economically, the euro's advantages include: Elimination of exchange-rate fluctuations-Any time either a consumer or a business made a commitment to buy something in a different country in the future(at future prices), they stood the chance of paying much more(or less)than they had planned.The euro eliminates the fluctuations of currency values across certain borders.*Price transparency-Being able to easily tell if a price in one country is better than the price in another is also a big benefit, both for consumers and businesses.With price equalization across borders, businesses have to be more competitive.Pricing still varies, but consumers can more easily spot a good deal--or a bad one.*Transaction costs-This is particularly helpful for tourists and others who cross several borders during the course of a trip.Before, they had to exchange their money as they entered each new country.The costs of all of these exchanges added up significantly.With the euro, no exchanges are necessary within the Euroland countries.*Increased trade across borders-The price transparency, elimination of exchange-rate fluctuations, and the elimination of exchange-transaction costs all contribute to an increase in trade across borders of all the Euroland countries.*Increased cross-border employment-Not only can business be conducted across borders more easily, but people are more easily employable across borders.With a single currency, it is less cumbersome for people to cross into the next country to work, because their salary is paid in the same currency they use in their own country.外國語學(xué)院

*Simplified billing-Billing for services, products, or other types of payments are simplified with the euro.*Expanding markets for business-Business can expand more easily into neighboring countries.Rather than having to set up separate accounting systems, banks, etc.for transactions in countries other than their native one, the euro makes it simple to operate from a single central accounting office and use a single bank.*Financial market stability-On a larger scale, the financial and stock exchanges can list every financial instrument in euros rather than in each nation's denomination.This has further ramifications in that it promotes trade with less restriction internationally, as well as strengthens the European financial markets.Banks can offer financial products(loans, CDs, etc.)to countries throughout Euroland.*Macroeconomic stability-Because of the European Central Bank(ECB),introduction of the euro also helps to lower(and control)inflation among the EU countries.*Lower interest rate-Because of the decreased exchange-rate risk, the euro encourages lower interest rates.In the past, additional interest was charged to cover the risk of the exchange-rate fluctuation.This risk is gone with the introduction of the euro.*Structural reform for European economies-The participation requirements of the euro pushed many EU member states who wanted to participate to get their economies in shape and improve their economic growth.With the requirements of the Stability and Growth Pact, they will also have to maintain that control in the future, or face fines.Disadvantages and Risks of the Euro While there are many advantages to the euro, there are also some disadvantages.The cost of transitioning 12 countries' currencies over to a single currency could in itself be considered a disadvantage.Billions were spent not only producing the new currency, but in changing over accounting systems, software, printed materials, signs, vending machines, parking meters, phone booths, and every other type of machine that accepts currency.In addition, there were hours of training necessary for employees, managers, and even consumers.Every government from national to local had impact costs of the transition.This enormous task required many hours of organization, planning, and implementation, which fell on the shoulders of government agencies.The chance of economic shock is another risk that comes along with the 外國語學(xué)院

introduction of a single currency.On a macroeconomic level, fluctuations have in the past been controllable by each country.*With their own national currencies, countries could adjust interest rates to encourage investments and large consumer purchases.The euro makes interest-rate adjustments by individual countries impossible, so this form of recovery is lost.Interest rates for all of Euroland are controlled by the European Central Bank.*They could also devalue their currency in an economic downturn by adjusting their exchange rate.This devaluation would encourage foreign purchases of their goods, which would then help bring the economy back to where it needed to be.Since there is no longer an individual national currency, this method of economic recovery is also lost.There is no exchange-rate fluctuation for individual euro countries.*A third way they could adjust to economic shocks was through adjustments in government spending, such as unemployment and social welfare programs.In times of economic difficulty, when lay-offs increase and more citizens need unemployment benefits and other welfare funding, the government's spending increases to make these payments.This puts money back into the economy and encourages spending, which helps bring the country out of its recession.Because of the Stability and Growth Pact, governments are restricted to keeping their budget deficits within the requirements of the pact.This limits their freedom in spending during economically difficult times, and limits their effectiveness in pulling the country out of a recession.In addition to the chance of economic shock within Euroland countries, there is also the chance of political shock.The lack of a single voice to speak for all euro countries could cause problems and tension among participants.There will always be the potential risk that a member country could collapse financially and adversely affect the entire system.More Euro History The Treaty of Rome was ratified in 1958, establishing the European Economic Community(EEC).The goal of the EEC was to reduce trade barriers, streamline economic policies, coordinate transportation and agriculture policies, remove measures restricting free competition, and promote the mobility of labor and capital among member nations.It was very successful, but just as with the ECSC, it served more of a peacemaking role between the European nations than an economic role.外國語學(xué)院

At this time, the monetary exchange rate between countries was controlled by the Bretton Woods system, which connected currencies to the U.S.dollar, allowing for only a one point fluctuation around designated values.This was referred to as the “pegged rate” and was based partly on the gold backing of the dollar.This system worked well for 20 years, helping to stabilize exchange rates and restore economic growth in the postwar period.By 1960, however, the system began to fail, and exchange-rate agreements became the prevalent topic among European political and economic leaders.By December 1969, Luxembourg's Prime Minister, Pierre Werner, was asked to write an EC(European Community)report covering the need for a complete monetary union among the European economies.The Werner Report came out in 1970 and specifically brought up the idea of a single European currency as part of a cooperative monetary effort.The report was the first to use the term Economic and Monetary Union.Although this plan seemed promising, it lost momentum when President Nixon's 1971 policy of “benign neglect” ended U.S.backing(by its gold reserves)of the predefined exchange rates against the dollar, collapsing the Bretton Woods system.Other foreign central banks were not willing to support the dollar, which would have provided the equivalent of deposit insurance.So where did that leave the European countries when it came to the stability of their currencies? It brought about the development in 1979 of the European Monetary System(EMS),which locked exchange rates among the participating countries into predefined trading zones.This was known as the Exchange Rate Mechanism(EMS).This move, in itself, stabilized the economy by creating predictable trading zones.The next move toward a unified European economy came with the 1987 Single European Act.This act called for the systematic removal of barriers and restrictions that hampered trade between European countries.As a result, border checks, tariffs, customs, labor restrictions and other barriers to free trade were dismantled.2.Andrew K.Rose Professor of Economic Analysis and Policy, Haas School of Business, University of California Berkeley.Managing Editor of The Journal of International Economics(1995-2001).Acting Director, International Finance and Macroeconomics Program of the NBER,(1996-1999).Ph.D.Massachusetts Institute of Technology(1983-1986).31 外國語學(xué)院

1.For all that it has clearly had profound effects already, and will have even deeper ones after January 1st, the euro by itself can only do so much.(p.50)本句中的主句為the euro by itself can only do so much，其中euro是主語。For all that it has clearly had profound effects already, and will have even deeper ones after January 1st為介詞短語，在整個(gè)句子當(dāng)中作狀語。介詞短語中的that引導(dǎo)出一個(gè)定語從句，修飾all。代詞it此處指euro。
2.One useful strand of research led by Andrew Rose, an economist at the University of California at Berkeley, suggests that thanks to the single currency, intra-European trade should fairly quickly double or even treble in volume.(p.50)可提醒學(xué)生本句中的double和treble的意思分別為“是??的兩倍或增加一倍”以及“是??的三倍或增加兩倍?！闭?qǐng)看下面的例句：

earnings of women and children were able to double family income.3.If that turns out to be correct, then Europe will greatly surprise the numerous pessimists who have bemoaned its inability to pick up where America’s decade of extraordinary economic growth has left off.(p.50)英語中to pick up where(+其他成分)+主語+leave off表示“從以前的某處重新開始或繼續(xù)下去?！崩?，教師上課對(duì)學(xué)生說要接著上次課往下講；節(jié)目主持人重提前面的話題等情況，均可以說“Let’s pick up where we left off.”再看下面的例句：
1)We would pick up supplies and I would continue with the wheelbarrow from where I had left off.2)Email newsletters pick up where websites leave off.3)The new product attempts to pick up where IBM's SMS software leaves off.綜上所述不難看出，本句后半部分的意思是說，對(duì)歐洲前途持悲觀態(tài)度的人感嘆歐洲的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展只相當(dāng)于美國十年前的水平，沒有能力從美國十年前的水平繼續(xù)向前發(fā)展。因此，可將這部分翻譯為“美國十年間非同尋常的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展使歐洲望塵莫及，歐洲落后于美國達(dá)十年之久?！?/p>
4.―But national borders engender discontinuities so profound that they cannot be overcome by removing a single factor among many.‖(p.50)
discontinuity這里的意思是lack of continuity, logical sequence, or cohesion即“不連貫，缺乏邏輯性或一致性?！弊髡叩囊馑际钦f，國與國之間缺乏一致性的地方有很多，差別也很大不可能共用歐元之后所有問題都能夠得到解決。
5.True,the single currency will make it easier for consumers to compare prices.But the starting point for this change is that Europe currently has heterogeneous customers who largely buy heterogeneous products with different ingredients, labels and packages.Much else will need to converge before prices do.(p.51)這部分的意思是說，歐元在歐元區(qū)內(nèi)的流通確實(shí)使人們?cè)诒容^價(jià)格時(shí)方便了許多。例如，由于商品均以歐元標(biāo)價(jià)，人們?cè)诓煌瑖屹徫飼r(shí)不再需要兌換貨幣，也無須進(jìn)行貨幣換算。但是，這些變化終究離不開這樣一個(gè)現(xiàn)實(shí)或基本點(diǎn)（the starting point），即歐洲目前的消費(fèi)群體是不同的，他們購買由不同材料生產(chǎn)、有著不同商標(biāo)及包裝的不同產(chǎn)品。因此，現(xiàn)在還不能說歐洲已經(jīng)有了一個(gè)趨同的市場。

6.Indeed,Mr.Rangan predicts that although prices in the euro zone will indeed converge, they will do so more slowly than many people think, and mainly in areas where the cost to consumers of making a mistake are relatively low.―No one, if they have a choice, hires the cheapest lawyer,‖ he says.(p.51)對(duì)于自己不熟悉的產(chǎn)品，消費(fèi)者購買后可能會(huì)不滿意，這就是本句中making a mistake的意思。如果消費(fèi)者在購買花錢不多的小商品時(shí)出現(xiàn)mistake，造成的損失不會(huì)很大，因此小商品市場價(jià)格趨同的速度可能要快一些。消費(fèi)者購買商品時(shí)考慮的因素有許多，如產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量、性能、花色品種、包裝等，而并不是什么東西便宜就去買什么。這就是作者所說的“No one, if they have a choice, hires the cheapest lawyer”的意思。
7.The interbank unsecured-money market, for instance, is in effect pan-European, with large banks successfully feeding liquidity to smaller, national banks.The secured market has been less successful, largely because its very existence has exposed problems in the underlying infrastructure that can make it difficult to transfer collateral.(p.52)本部分中the interbank unsecured-money market實(shí)際上是指“銀行間短期資金市場”或“銀行間拆借市場”，而the secured market則指“資本市場”。
8.The eurobond market has also been an overall success, thanks in part to the integrated clearing and settlement infrastructure that predated it.In the corporate market, well-known companies such as Philips have launched big benchmark issues, and even a few small, unrated companies such as Ducati have issued bonds successfully.(p.52)本部分中eurobond market指“歐元債券市場”；have launched big benchmark issues的意思是說，大公司發(fā)行的債券客觀上起到了其他公司在發(fā)行債券時(shí)以其為標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的作用。unrated companies的意思是“未評(píng)級(jí)的公司”，即那些不知名的、未在任何排行榜上出現(xiàn)過的小公司。9.Observers say that fewer medium-sized companies have raised money by issuing bonds than was hoped at the outset.Until more do so, the bank-driven alternative system of funding will continue to misallocate capital.(p.52)本部分中，the bank-driven alternative system of funding實(shí)際上是指“銀行貸款”，可翻譯為“作為另一種籌資方式的銀行貸款發(fā)放體系”。由于許多中型公司不能通過發(fā)行債券籌集資金，只能依靠銀行貸款，這樣就很容易出現(xiàn)資金發(fā)放錯(cuò)位的問題。

10.In the early part of this year it provided a flood of liquidity to telecoms issuers as equity investors’ enthusiasm for that industry dried up.The issuance has since also dried up, but it represented progress.(p.52)本部分的意思是說，由于人們對(duì)電信業(yè)股票投資失去了熱情，因此便通過發(fā)行電信債券的方式籌集資金，而電信債券的發(fā)行后來也呈枯竭狀態(tài)，但不管怎樣，這是一種進(jìn)步?！斑M(jìn)步”是指債券的發(fā)行可使籌資方式多樣化，相對(duì)僅僅依靠銀行貸款籌資來說是一種進(jìn)步。11.In America and Britain, the law allows two forms of ownership rights.The first, shared by continental Europe, is full legal ownership.The second, not shared in Europe, is beneficial ownership.This concept allows the creation of depositories in which securities are “dematerialized‖.(p.53)
由于受益性所有權(quán)使有價(jià)證券失去了其物質(zhì)形態(tài)（例如購買的股票不在自己的名下），因此便產(chǎn)生了depository這一概念，depository原意為“存放處”，這里指一種“無形票據(jù)賬戶”，通過該“賬戶”，可認(rèn)定某人購買了有價(jià)證券。
12.Underlying these legal niceties is a hard-nosed business issue:(p.53)“hard-nosed”的意思是“practical and determined”，可修飾人或事物，請(qǐng)看下面的例子： a hard-nosed salesman, a hard-nosed labor leader，a hard-nosed reporter，a hard-nosed attitude，a hard-nosed approach，hard-nosed economic considerations.1)She gave a hard-nosed, step-by-step account of the campaign.2)MADONNA will get￡3 million to play a hard-nosed street girl in the new film.3)He was a hard-nosed, tunnel-visioned businessman, concerned only with getting to his precious meeting on time.13.A small business wanting to refund a customer in another euro-zone country might find that the bank charges not only eat up the refund but cost the poor customer money on top.(p.54)本句的意思是說銀行手續(xù)費(fèi)比所匯退款還要多，客戶不僅提不到款，而且還需拿出錢來給銀行。

The Dow Jones STOXX, a family of indexes started in 1998 in a joint venture with the French, German and Swiss stock exchanges, charts the course of the new Europe.OUR HISTORY Dow Jones & Company was founded in 1882 by three young reporters: Charles Dow, Edward Jones and Charles Bergstresser.In their basement office near the New York Stock Exchange, they produced handwritten newsletters called “flimsies” that were delivered by messenger to subscribers in the Wall Street area.Business boomed, and by 1889,the staff numbered 50.The Company decided to turn its small “Customers' Afternoon Letter” into a newspaper that would be called The Wall Street Journal.The first issue, at four pages and selling for 2 cents, debuted on July 8,1889.The Journal prospered, but Messrs.Dow, Jones and Bergstresser saw the need for a faster way to deliver the news.To that end, the Company began delivery of its Dow Jones News Service via telegraph.In 1902, Clarence W.Barron, who had been hired years before to be Dow Jones 'first out-of-town correspondent, purchased control of the Company following Mr.Dow's death.At that time, Journal circulation was about 7,000.But less than 20 years later, in 1920,it had reached 18,750.Mr.Barron introduced modern printing equipment, and the newsgathering side of the Company expanded.By the end of the 1920s,more than 50,000 copies of the Journal were printed daily.Barron's National Business and Financial Weekly, simply known today as Barron's, made its debut in 1921, with Mr.Barron serving as its first editor.Priced at 10 cents an issue, the tabloid-size publication was an immediate success in investment and financial circles, reaching circulation of 30,000 in only its sixth year.In 1941,13 years after the death of Clarence Barron, Bernard Kilgore became managing editor of the Journal.In 1945,he was named chief executive of Dow Jones.Mr.Kilgore was the architect of the paper as it exists today and expanded its coverage to include all aspects of business, economics and consumer affairs, as well as all aspects of life that had an impact on business.In the 1960s, circulation of the Journal surpassed 1 million, and coverage of social issues, science, education and foreign affairs was added or expanded, while business news coverage was improved.In the 1970s,Dow Jones entered new fields of electronic publishing and expanded its U.S.41 外國語學(xué)院

publishing presence with the acquisition of the Ottaway group of community newspapers.Dow Jones also expanded outside the U.S., first with investments in the Far Eastern Economic Review, then in 1976 with The Asian Wall Street Journal, the first daily newspaper to provide comprehensive coverage of business and economic news for an Asia-wide audience.In the 1980s,the circulation of The Wall Street Journal briefly reached more than 2 million.The Company pushed vigorously into database publishing, television and real-time market data delivery through the purchase of Telerate.In addition, Dow Jones extended its commitment to global publishing by introducing The Wall Street Journal Europe, published in Brussels, in 1983.In June 1999,Dow Jones & Company and von Holtzbrinck Group agreed to swap stakes in The Wall Street Journal Europe and Handelsblatt, Germany's business newspaper.Throughout the 1990s,Dow Jones continued to place an even greater emphasis on its competitive strengths and core competencies in content, and an even tighter strategic focus on publishing the world's most vital business and financial news and information.This was evident through the sale of Telerate to Bridge Information Systems, Inc., in 1998 and the successful launch of many new products and ventures, including SmartMoney, The Wall Street Journal Magazine of Personal Business, with Hearst Corp.in 1992;The Wall Street Journal Special Editions in 1994;and The Wall Street Journal Online at WSJ.com,in 1996.In addition, the Company set a course to become a global producer of quality business-television programming with the launch of Asia Business News in 1993 and European Business News in 1995.This led to the global business-television alliance with NBC announced in 1997,centered around CNBC.A service of NBC and Dow Jones, CNBC offers U.S., Asian and European audiences the best business-news programming available.In September 1999, The Wall Street Journal Sunday, bannered, full pages of original Journal content focused on personal finance and careers,began publication in leading metropolitan Sunday newspapers around the U.S.Also in the fall of 1999,Dow Jones launched Vedomosti, or The Record, the only independent business newspaper in Russia.It is published Tuesday through Saturday.4.Nasdaq NASDAQ is the largest U.S.electronic stock market.With approximately 3,300 companies, it lists more companies and, on average, trades more shares per day than any other U.S.market.It is home to category-defining companies that are leaders across all areas of business including

第1課 新長征
“中國制造”這個(gè)標(biāo)記很久以前就不新鮮了，它貼在鞋子上、玩具上、服裝上，以及為跨國公司制造的其他商品上，世界各地到處可見?，F(xiàn)在真正新鮮的是以中國品牌出售的中國制造的商品。目前中國只有為數(shù)不多的幾家公司擁有足夠的財(cái)力和管理知識(shí)來打造國際名牌；其余的絕大多數(shù)公司還在為在國內(nèi)獲得知名度而努力奮斗著。但是正在海外市場上試水的各大先鋒公司，很有可能把事情做大。
一些人認(rèn)為，在創(chuàng)業(yè)精神飽滿的本地管理層的協(xié)助下，或者在一些想在其產(chǎn)品系列里添加新產(chǎn)品的外國公司的協(xié)助下，中國商品在極具競爭力的價(jià)格的基礎(chǔ)上，若把賣點(diǎn)放在產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量和異國情調(diào)上，那末10年之內(nèi)，中國品牌將一個(gè)一個(gè)地走向全球?？偛吭谙愀鄣膹V告公司中國精信（Grey China）的執(zhí)行董事陳一木丹（Viveca Chan）說：“如果世界上只有一個(gè)國家具備創(chuàng)立全球品牌的潛力，那么這個(gè)國家就是中國?！?/p>
短期之內(nèi)，中國商品最有希望打入國際市場的當(dāng)屬中草藥和特色食品，當(dāng)然也包括那些體現(xiàn)中國浪漫并具有異國情調(diào)的產(chǎn)品，例如化妝品、時(shí)裝和音樂作品。中國總部設(shè)在上海的泰勒·娜爾森·索福瑞（Taylor Nelson Sofres）市場調(diào)研公司的中國區(qū)總經(jīng)理Kevin Tan說：“與中國相聯(lián)系的神秘色彩還有許多?；瘖y品是種靠形象推銷的產(chǎn)品，假如你要做化妝品，你會(huì)一下子就發(fā)現(xiàn)，中國化妝品來頭不小。”努力走向世界的中國品牌還有一些領(lǐng)導(dǎo)時(shí)尚潮頭的飲料和啤酒品牌，也包括家用電器等具有品牌潛力的產(chǎn)品，它們都能以競爭性的價(jià)格提供高品質(zhì)的產(chǎn)品。
這些中國品牌中的一部分，最終將會(huì)通過合資、兼并和收購的途徑走向國際市場。而對(duì)于合資雙方中的外國投資者來說，這些品牌則將成為他們更快地進(jìn)入中國消費(fèi)市場和銷售渠道的載體，同時(shí)這些中國品牌也能進(jìn)一步充實(shí)國外投資者在國際市場上已經(jīng)確立的優(yōu)質(zhì)品牌的陣營。
整個(gè)20世紀(jì)90年代，“中國品牌”這個(gè)概念一直在發(fā)育著，而目前在國內(nèi)受到的重視更大了。雖然國內(nèi)市場依然需求旺盛，但是一批國有企業(yè)，包括一些上市公司，現(xiàn)在都認(rèn)為自己的產(chǎn)品和管理已經(jīng)有所提高，因而都在力圖樹立自己的國際品牌。在中國的合資企業(yè)認(rèn)為，他們的產(chǎn)品被國外的消費(fèi)者看作具有東方異域情調(diào)，因而具有一定的優(yōu)勢，同時(shí)在質(zhì)量上，又可以在任何地方與國外品牌展開競爭。

品牌國際化可以帶來更多的收益，同時(shí)可以提升公司在國內(nèi)的形象，從而吸引那些注重品牌與地位的國內(nèi)消費(fèi)者購買。例如，中國軟飲料制造商健力寶公司的總裁韓為先（音譯）說，健力寶在海外開發(fā)自己的市場，有一部分原因是為了在中國公眾中“樹立良好的形象”，這種國際化的形象反過來可以增加健力寶在中國國內(nèi)的銷售。
但是，建立品牌需要時(shí)間、資金和對(duì)市場的洞察力。一些中國品牌依靠具有競爭力的定價(jià)打入了國際市場，但同時(shí)也運(yùn)用了其他策略。健力寶強(qiáng)調(diào)它的飲料適合亞洲人口味，定位為能夠補(bǔ)充水分的運(yùn)動(dòng)飲料，是中國運(yùn)動(dòng)員的首選。而空調(diào)制造商美的正努力獲得更大的品牌認(rèn)同。海爾是中國領(lǐng)先的家用電器生產(chǎn)商之一，海爾等公司的戰(zhàn)略很明確，不在價(jià)格上做文章，而是靠產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量、高效的分銷和售后服務(wù)贏得市場。再舉個(gè)例子，亞洲戰(zhàn)略投資有限公司（即Asimco）是由美國直接投資的公司，他們最近收購了五星啤酒，并且把五星啤酒定位成高檔品牌。
當(dāng)然，正如總部在香港的廣告公司中國精信（Grey China）的執(zhí)行董事陳一木丹（Viveca Chan）指出的，國際化營銷并不等于國際化品牌。而且，對(duì)中國企業(yè)而言國際化品牌還處于一個(gè)初級(jí)階段。設(shè)在青島的中國青島啤酒的海外部經(jīng)理楚梁津（音）說，首當(dāng)其沖的是推廣國際化品牌的投資資金很難到位。他解釋說：“用于再投入促進(jìn)品牌在海外形象的資金不得超過我們的出口銷售總額的5％”。他又說青島啤酒正努力游說外匯管理局更改對(duì)國有企業(yè)的這項(xiàng)規(guī)定。但由于政府強(qiáng)調(diào)防止外匯流失，取消這項(xiàng)規(guī)定的機(jī)會(huì)渺茫。
上述5%的海外投資限制只針對(duì)國有企業(yè)，肯定阻礙了中國品牌的發(fā)展。相對(duì)而言，私有企業(yè)有較大的投資自由。例如健力寶公司為了在美國市場上推廣健力寶品牌，已經(jīng)投資了大約1000萬美元。但是該公司總經(jīng)理李經(jīng)緯（音譯）明白這點(diǎn)錢是微不足道的。坐在三水健力寶生產(chǎn)基地的辦公室里（三水市距離廣州有40分鐘的車程），李總經(jīng)理估計(jì)，健力寶要想在美國確立其品牌知名度，公司需要開支的費(fèi)用至少在5000萬到1億美元之間。他相信消費(fèi)者會(huì)喜歡健力寶的系列運(yùn)動(dòng)飲料和軟飲料（味道極似可口可樂公司的可口可樂、雪碧和橙汁芬達(dá)），但他又說：“我們需要資金來宣傳自己”。
可口可樂香港公司副總裁兼可口可樂中國公司海外事業(yè)部B.C.Lo經(jīng)理說：“我不敢肯定健力寶是否真正能夠進(jìn)入美國市場，或者能夠發(fā)展成為一個(gè)國際品牌，但可以肯定的是在中國市場，健力寶是可口可樂一個(gè)強(qiáng)有力的競爭對(duì)手?！?/p>
實(shí)際上，健力寶產(chǎn)品已經(jīng)出口了20多個(gè)國家。但是要想成為一個(gè)真正的有實(shí)力的海外市場競爭者，健力寶還需要投入大量的金錢和時(shí)間。去年，健力寶在美國市場上只銷售了20萬箱飲料（一箱24瓶或聽）。雖然健力寶已經(jīng)在美國投資舉辦了一系列的促銷活動(dòng)：1997年

捐款10萬美元救助美國洪災(zāi)；在美國小姐選美大賽上大做廣告；1997年贊助兩萬美元舉辦“健力寶杯”高爾夫球錦標(biāo)賽，但是比起可口可樂公司的促銷活動(dòng)來，健力寶公司的這些市場促銷就是小巫見大巫了。
中國品牌在國際市場上大有希望的一個(gè)領(lǐng)域是中低技術(shù)水平的白色家電業(yè)。據(jù)估計(jì)，中國品牌的電冰箱和洗衣機(jī)大約占了國內(nèi)市場的90%，空調(diào)70%—80%，彩電60%。香港A.T.科爾尼咨詢公司副總裁菲利普·戴說：“很多行業(yè)的產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量已經(jīng)得到了很大的提高，具有很強(qiáng)的適銷性。我們注意到，中國各家公司強(qiáng)化了營銷工作?！?/p>
海爾是中國最為著名的家電品牌之一。在精力充沛的總裁張瑞敏的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下，該公司從原來的一個(gè)虧損企業(yè)轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)橛心芰ο蚝Ｍ獬隹诋a(chǎn)品的大公司。該公司聲稱，日本進(jìn)口洗衣機(jī)的60%是它的產(chǎn)品，美國市場上36升到180升電冰箱市場份額的20%由它控制。去年前11個(gè)月，海爾向美出口電冰箱1560萬美元，而1997年全年為1260萬美元。
上海的荷蘭銀行所屬的證券部的一位分析師馬利歐·朱說，海爾的營銷團(tuán)隊(duì)為該公司在歐洲建立起了知名度，目前又在美國開展工作。馬利歐·朱補(bǔ)充說，“海爾在當(dāng)?shù)卦O(shè)立了一些研究中心，這些研究中心給公司提供最新的市場需求信息。海爾的廣告攻勢很凌厲，研發(fā)工作也很出色。”張瑞敏說，海爾的優(yōu)勢在于產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量高，銷售和服務(wù)網(wǎng)絡(luò)好。
與大多數(shù)跨國公司相比，海爾在營銷方面的開銷的確不算很多。在美國，海爾的促銷預(yù)算僅僅占其在美國銷售額的1%，可以說微不足道。海爾在紐約的第五大道已經(jīng)開了一家專賣店，并于3月聘請(qǐng)了洛杉磯的一家設(shè)計(jì)公司，讓其根據(jù)美國消費(fèi)者的喜好來設(shè)計(jì)冰箱。張瑞敏坦言：在美國普通消費(fèi)者心目中，海爾還沒有“發(fā)展成為一個(gè)真正的品牌”，但同時(shí)他也指出，海爾品牌正開始得到冰箱制造商、分銷商和專賣店的一些認(rèn)可。
美國市場上的另一個(gè)中國品牌是美的公司，這是一家集體企業(yè)，在廣州大量生產(chǎn)空調(diào)。1997年，美的公司的銷售收入達(dá)到了3.865億美元，其中7,000萬美元來自出口。公司海外部主管彭強(qiáng)說，美的于1998年開始致力于開發(fā)海外市場，預(yù)計(jì)今年銷售總額將達(dá)到6.04億美元，其中出口額將達(dá)到8,000萬美元。彭強(qiáng)相信，美的開發(fā)海外市場的“時(shí)機(jī)已經(jīng)成熟”，美的公司將雙管齊下，同時(shí)在價(jià)格上和品牌認(rèn)知度上展開競爭。彭強(qiáng)還說，“為了進(jìn)一步提升美的品牌的認(rèn)知度，我們將參加更多的海外展覽會(huì)，同時(shí)我們已經(jīng)擴(kuò)大了廣告宣傳力度，特別是在香港”。
中國品牌借助于外國公司的力量，往往具有營銷預(yù)算大幅度增加和更易獲得管理知識(shí)兩方面的優(yōu)勢。然而這些外國公司的收購行為有著更大的目標(biāo)，盡管它們購買這些中國品牌的目的，一般都是為了獲得其在中國的消費(fèi)市場和分銷渠道。香港A.T.科爾尼咨詢公司副總裁菲利

普·戴說：“買斷中國品牌的跨國公司并不打算把這些中國品牌的業(yè)務(wù)局限于中國國內(nèi)市場。它們并不一定要立即被拿去與海外的優(yōu)質(zhì)品牌進(jìn)行競爭，但是有可能拿到其它的細(xì)分市場上去參與競爭。我認(rèn)為，從長遠(yuǎn)來看，中國品牌將成為跨國公司在國際市場上強(qiáng)有力的競爭對(duì)手。”
以英荷合資的聯(lián)合利華為例，它是世界上最大的消費(fèi)品公司之一，每年的銷售額大約500億美元。這個(gè)巨型公司于7月購買了主營泡菜和醬油的中國品牌“老蔡”，目標(biāo)是五年內(nèi)打入國際市場。為了讓消費(fèi)者熟悉這個(gè)品牌，聯(lián)合利華專門投入了一筆費(fèi)用，但不愿透露具體的數(shù)字。
亞洲戰(zhàn)略投資管理（Asimco）公司于1995年取得了對(duì)五星啤酒的控股權(quán)，當(dāng)時(shí)這是一家已有80年生產(chǎn)歷史的國有啤酒釀造廠，廠址在北京。Asimco公司北京辦事處負(fù)責(zé)人Jack Perkowski表示，這個(gè)品牌經(jīng)過全面革新、重新包裝并且以溢價(jià)轉(zhuǎn)賣后，將在海外市場上與青島啤酒展開激烈的競爭。
青島啤酒自1978年以來就出口北美市場，最近三年在北美市場的年銷售額大約是700萬美元。英國某經(jīng)紀(jì)公司駐港的一位啤酒行業(yè)的分析師認(rèn)為，相比之下，五星啤酒將會(huì)“成為美國進(jìn)口的啤酒品牌中進(jìn)口數(shù)量少于青島啤酒的品牌之一”。五星啤酒之所以進(jìn)軍美國市場這么快，原因之一是Asimco公司選擇了佛羅里達(dá)州的北方飲料公司作為批發(fā)商，而這個(gè)公司的工作效率非常高。首批四個(gè)集裝箱的五星啤酒于9月運(yùn)抵美國。Asimco公司北京辦事處負(fù)責(zé)人Jack Perkowski估計(jì)，如果一切進(jìn)展順利的話，大約兩到三年之后，Asimco公司每年將在美國賣出300萬箱的五星啤酒，五星啤酒也將擠入在美國最為暢銷的25個(gè)外國品牌的行列。目前排在這個(gè)暢銷名單首位的是墨西哥的“克羅娜（Corona）”品牌啤酒。高級(jí)商務(wù)英語閱讀課文譯文
紐約的化妝品企業(yè)高帝公司也極具擴(kuò)張野心。1996年，高帝公司和靳羽西化妝品公司合資在中國成立了一家合資企業(yè)。靳羽西化妝品（Yue-Sai Kan Cosmetics）公司成立于此前四年，老板是充滿魅力的美籍華人靳羽西。靳羽西出生在中國，如今在她的祖國可謂家喻戶曉。羽西公司在法律上是一個(gè)全資的美國公司，卻是中國彩妝市場上的主導(dǎo)品牌。通過這次聯(lián)合，高帝公司幾乎一夜之間成了中國市場上的首選品牌。該合資企業(yè)于10月又在上海投資2000萬美元開辦了一座工廠，還設(shè)立了研發(fā)中心。
高帝公司的執(zhí)行副總裁Jean-Andre Rougeot說：“我們想把羽西品牌做成中國的第一個(gè)化妝品國際品牌。中國作為一個(gè)經(jīng)濟(jì)強(qiáng)國將會(huì)在未來的五到十年繼續(xù)繁榮發(fā)展下去。作為這種發(fā)展的一部分，人們將看到越來越多的中國品牌?！盧ougeot認(rèn)為，那些有過敏性肌膚的西方

要把中國的事情辦好，關(guān)鍵在我們黨。學(xué)習(xí)《江澤民文選》，必須緊緊抓住黨的建設(shè)這個(gè)關(guān)鍵。只有緊緊抓住黨的建設(shè)這個(gè)關(guān)鍵來學(xué)習(xí)《江澤民文選》，更深入地學(xué)習(xí)領(lǐng)會(huì)“三個(gè)代表”重要思想這一科學(xué)理論，才能進(jìn)一步深刻認(rèn)識(shí)和科學(xué)回答在長期執(zhí)政的歷史條件下建設(shè)什么樣的黨、怎樣建設(shè)黨這個(gè)重大問題，更好地把黨的建設(shè)新的偉大工程推向前進(jìn)，使黨始終充滿創(chuàng)造力、凝聚力、戰(zhàn)斗力，始終成為中國特色社會(huì)主義事業(yè)的堅(jiān)強(qiáng)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)核心。
要把中國的事情辦好，關(guān)鍵在我們黨。在實(shí)行改革開放和發(fā)展社會(huì)主義市場經(jīng)濟(jì)的條件下，建設(shè)什么樣的黨、怎樣建設(shè)黨，是一個(gè)重大的現(xiàn)實(shí)問題，直接關(guān)系我們黨和國家的前途命運(yùn)。不斷推進(jìn)黨的建設(shè)新的偉大工程，就是我們黨對(duì)這個(gè)重大現(xiàn)實(shí)問題的明確回答。胡錦濤同志指出：“我們學(xué)習(xí)《江澤民文選》，必須緊緊抓住黨的建設(shè)這個(gè)關(guān)鍵”?！督瓭擅裎倪x》（以下簡稱《文選》）為我們更深入地學(xué)習(xí)領(lǐng)會(huì)“三個(gè)代表”重要思想，更好地用“三個(gè)代表”重要思想武裝頭腦、指導(dǎo)實(shí)踐、推動(dòng)工作，繼續(xù)推進(jìn)中國特色社會(huì)主義偉大事業(yè)和黨的建設(shè)新的偉大工程，提供了最好的教材。
更深入地學(xué)習(xí)領(lǐng)會(huì)“三個(gè)代表”重要思想
“三個(gè)代表”重要思想是我們黨必須長期堅(jiān)持的指導(dǎo)思想?！段倪x》全面反映了“三個(gè)代表”重要思想孕育、形成、發(fā)展的歷史軌跡。緊緊抓住黨的建設(shè)這個(gè)關(guān)鍵來學(xué)習(xí)《文選》，就應(yīng)當(dāng)更深入地學(xué)習(xí)領(lǐng)會(huì)“三個(gè)代表”重要思想這一科學(xué)理論，特別是其中關(guān)于黨的建設(shè)的思想。
關(guān)于中國共產(chǎn)黨是中國工人階級(jí)的先鋒隊(duì)、同時(shí)是中國人民和中華民族的先鋒隊(duì)的思想?！皟蓚€(gè)先鋒隊(duì)”的思想既總結(jié)了我們黨的歷史經(jīng)驗(yàn)，又體現(xiàn)了執(zhí)政黨的特點(diǎn)和要求，對(duì)于鞏固和增強(qiáng)黨的執(zhí)政基礎(chǔ)，保持和發(fā)展黨的先進(jìn)性，具有重要意義。在長期的奮斗歷程中，我們黨團(tuán)結(jié)和帶領(lǐng)廣大人民群眾，取得了革命、建設(shè)和改革事業(yè)的偉大勝利。在不斷推進(jìn)中國特色社會(huì)主義事業(yè)的偉大征程中，中國共產(chǎn)黨只有在堅(jiān)持中國工人階級(jí)的先鋒隊(duì)性質(zhì)的同時(shí)，成為中國人民和中華民族的先鋒隊(duì)，才能更好地代表中國最廣大人民的根本利益，不斷增強(qiáng)在全社會(huì)的影響力和凝聚力。
關(guān)于堅(jiān)持立黨為公、執(zhí)政為民的思想。貫徹“三個(gè)代表”重要思想，本質(zhì)在堅(jiān)持執(zhí)政為民。立黨為公、執(zhí)政為民，是中國共產(chǎn)黨同一切剝削階級(jí)政黨的根本區(qū)別，也是我們黨具有先進(jìn)性的根本標(biāo)志。堅(jiān)持立黨為公、執(zhí)政為民，必須把“三個(gè)代表”重要思想落實(shí)到黨和國家制定和實(shí)施方針政策的工作中去，落實(shí)到各級(jí)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)干部的思想和行動(dòng)中去，落實(shí)到關(guān)心群眾生產(chǎn)生活的工作中去，努力實(shí)現(xiàn)好、維護(hù)好、發(fā)展好最廣大人民的根本利益。
關(guān)于堅(jiān)持把加強(qiáng)黨的思想理論建設(shè)放在首位、不斷推進(jìn)馬克思主義中國化的思想。思想理論建設(shè)始終是黨的建設(shè)的首要任務(wù)，是帶動(dòng)其他方面建設(shè)的根本性建設(shè)。加強(qiáng)黨的思想理論建設(shè)，必須堅(jiān)持不懈地用馬克思列寧主義、毛澤東思想、鄧小平理論武裝全黨特別是黨的各級(jí)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)干部，弘揚(yáng)理論聯(lián)系實(shí)際的馬克思主義學(xué)風(fēng)，在改造客觀世界的同時(shí)改造主觀世界，堅(jiān)持馬克思主義基本原理同中國具體實(shí)際相結(jié)合，在新的實(shí)踐基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行理論創(chuàng)新，不斷推進(jìn)馬克思主義的中國化。
關(guān)于加強(qiáng)黨的執(zhí)政能力建設(shè)、改革和完善黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)方式和執(zhí)政方式的思想。把中國特色社會(huì)主義事業(yè)不斷推向前進(jìn)，必須加強(qiáng)黨的執(zhí)政能力建設(shè)，提高黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)水平和執(zhí)政水平。只有這樣，才能在復(fù)雜多變的國際國內(nèi)形勢下保證中國現(xiàn)代化建設(shè)的航船始終沿著正確的航向前進(jìn)，在激烈的國際競爭中始終立于不敗之地。加強(qiáng)黨的執(zhí)政能力建設(shè)，必須不斷提高各級(jí)黨委和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)干部科學(xué)判斷形勢的能力、駕馭市場經(jīng)濟(jì)的能力、應(yīng)對(duì)復(fù)雜局面的能力、依法執(zhí)政的能力、總攬全局的能力；健全和完善黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)體制，改進(jìn)黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)方式和執(zhí)政方式；切實(shí)加強(qiáng)和改進(jìn)黨對(duì)各項(xiàng)工作的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，把堅(jiān)持黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)、人民當(dāng)家作主和依法治國有機(jī)統(tǒng)一起來。
關(guān)于堅(jiān)持民主集中制、以黨內(nèi)民主帶動(dòng)人民民主的思想。民主集中制是我們黨的根本組織制度和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)制度，也是最重要的組織紀(jì)律和政治紀(jì)律。民主集中制貫徹得好不好，關(guān)系黨的事業(yè)的興衰成敗。堅(jiān)持民主集中制，就要發(fā)展黨內(nèi)民主。通過發(fā)展黨內(nèi)民主，推動(dòng)人民民主的發(fā)展。黨內(nèi)民主是黨的生命。通過發(fā)展黨內(nèi)民主，充分發(fā)揮廣大黨員和各級(jí)黨組織的積極性、主動(dòng)性、創(chuàng)造性。堅(jiān)持集體領(lǐng)導(dǎo)、民主集中、個(gè)別醞釀、會(huì)議決定的原則，完善黨委內(nèi)部的議事和決策機(jī)制。進(jìn)一步完善民主集中制的各項(xiàng)制度，進(jìn)一步完善黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)制度和工作機(jī)制，從制度體系上保證民主集中制的正確執(zhí)行。
關(guān)于大力培養(yǎng)忠誠于馬克思主義、堅(jiān)持走中國特色社會(huì)主義道路、會(huì)治黨治國的政治家的思想。中國的社會(huì)主義事業(yè)能不能鞏固和發(fā)展下去，中國能不能在未來激烈的國際競爭中始終強(qiáng)盛不衰，關(guān)鍵就要看我們黨能不能不斷培養(yǎng)造就一大批高素質(zhì)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人才。干部隊(duì)伍和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)班子建設(shè)必須堅(jiān)持革命化、年輕化、知識(shí)化、專業(yè)化的方針和德才兼?zhèn)涞脑瓌t。要加大培養(yǎng)選拔優(yōu)秀年輕干部的工作力度。加快干部人事制度改革步伐，努力推進(jìn)干部工作的科學(xué)化、民主化、制度化，建立健全有利于優(yōu)秀人才脫穎而出的用人機(jī)制。
關(guān)于領(lǐng)導(dǎo)干部一定要講學(xué)習(xí)、講政治、講正氣的思想。講學(xué)習(xí)、講政治、講正氣，三者是緊密相連和相互統(tǒng)一的，核心是講政治。全黨同志特別是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)干部，必須堅(jiān)定正確的政治方向、政治立場、政治觀點(diǎn)，嚴(yán)守政治紀(jì)律，增強(qiáng)政治敏銳性和政治鑒別力。講學(xué)習(xí)、講政治、講正氣，應(yīng)該成為全黨同志尤其是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)干部經(jīng)常的自覺行為。
關(guān)于始終保持黨同人民群眾的血肉聯(lián)系、不斷增強(qiáng)黨的階級(jí)基礎(chǔ)和擴(kuò)大黨的群眾基礎(chǔ)的思想。加強(qiáng)黨的建設(shè)，一個(gè)十分重要的問題就是我們黨必須始終保持同人民群眾的血肉聯(lián)系。我們的改革和建設(shè)，只有得到人民群眾的理解、支持和參與，充分發(fā)揮人民群眾的積極性和創(chuàng)造性，才能順利推進(jìn)；黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)地位，只有贏得人民群眾的信賴和擁護(hù)，才能鞏固和加強(qiáng)。在新的歷史條件下，黨必須始終保持同人民群眾的血肉聯(lián)系，不斷增強(qiáng)黨的階級(jí)基礎(chǔ)和擴(kuò)大黨的群眾基礎(chǔ)。
關(guān)于治國必先治黨、治黨務(wù)必從嚴(yán)的思想。從嚴(yán)治黨，是我們黨的優(yōu)良傳統(tǒng)和寶貴經(jīng)驗(yàn)，也是我們黨的一貫方針。堅(jiān)定不移地貫徹這一方針，是保持黨的先進(jìn)性和純潔性、增強(qiáng)黨的凝聚力和戰(zhàn)斗力的重要保證。因此，治國必先治黨，治黨務(wù)必從嚴(yán)。從嚴(yán)治黨，必須健全黨內(nèi)生活，認(rèn)真開展批評(píng)和自我批評(píng)；必須嚴(yán)格按照黨章和黨的各項(xiàng)規(guī)定辦事，嚴(yán)肅黨的紀(jì)律。各級(jí)黨委要帶頭抓黨的建設(shè)，把黨要管黨落到實(shí)處。
關(guān)于反對(duì)腐敗是關(guān)系黨和國家生死存亡的嚴(yán)重政治斗爭的思想。腐敗問題為人民群眾所深惡痛絕。堅(jiān)決反對(duì)和防止腐敗，是全黨一項(xiàng)重大的政治任務(wù)。要從源頭上預(yù)防和解決腐敗問題。黨的歷史方位的變化，要求我們黨以新的視角思考黨風(fēng)廉政建設(shè)和反腐敗的戰(zhàn)略部署。反腐倡廉是一個(gè)社會(huì)系統(tǒng)工程，需要各方面協(xié)調(diào)配合和共同努力，需要與經(jīng)濟(jì)建設(shè)、民主法制建設(shè)、精神文明建設(shè)等工作緊密結(jié)合。
更好地把黨的建設(shè)新的偉大工程推向前進(jìn)
《文選》中關(guān)于黨的建設(shè)的思想，作為“三個(gè)代表”重要思想科學(xué)體系的重要組成部分，為我們?cè)谛率兰o(jì)新階段全面推進(jìn)黨的建設(shè)新的偉大工程提供了強(qiáng)大的理論武器。緊緊抓住黨的建設(shè)這個(gè)關(guān)鍵來學(xué)習(xí)《文選》，才能進(jìn)一步深刻認(rèn)識(shí)和科學(xué)回答在長期執(zhí)政的歷史條件下建設(shè)什么樣的黨、怎樣建設(shè)黨這個(gè)重大問題，更好地把黨的建設(shè)新的偉大工程推向前進(jìn)，使我們黨始終充滿創(chuàng)造力、凝聚力、戰(zhàn)斗力，始終成為中國特色社會(huì)主義事業(yè)的堅(jiān)強(qiáng)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)核心。
《文選》中關(guān)于黨的建設(shè)的思想，是在新的歷史條件下對(duì)馬克思主義黨建理論的重大發(fā)展。解放思想、實(shí)事求是、與時(shí)俱進(jìn)，是馬克思主義活的靈魂，是我們適應(yīng)新形勢、認(rèn)識(shí)新事物、完成新任務(wù)的根本思想武器。馬克思主義黨建理論自產(chǎn)生以來，總是根據(jù)實(shí)踐的發(fā)展和歷史條件的變化，不斷豐富和發(fā)展自己的內(nèi)容?！段倪x》中關(guān)于黨的建設(shè)的思想同馬克思列寧主義建黨學(xué)說、毛澤東建黨思想、鄧小平黨建理論是一脈相承而又與時(shí)俱進(jìn)的科學(xué)體系，它緊密結(jié)合時(shí)代和實(shí)踐的變化，創(chuàng)造性地回答了在長期執(zhí)政的歷史條件下建設(shè)什么樣的黨、怎樣建設(shè)黨的問題，豐富和發(fā)展了馬克思主義黨建理論。
《文選》中關(guān)于黨的建設(shè)的思想，對(duì)于全面推進(jìn)黨的建設(shè)新的偉大工程具有十分重要的指導(dǎo)意義。高度重視和不斷加強(qiáng)自身建設(shè)，是我們黨從小到大、由弱到強(qiáng)，歷經(jīng)磨難而巍然屹立、千錘百煉而更加堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的一個(gè)重要原因。在新世紀(jì)新階段，全面推進(jìn)黨的建設(shè)新的偉大工程，是我們面臨的重大任務(wù)。《文選》中關(guān)于黨的建設(shè)的思想，對(duì)于我們大力加強(qiáng)黨的執(zhí)政能力建設(shè)和先進(jìn)性建設(shè)，全面推進(jìn)黨的建設(shè)新的偉大工程，切實(shí)解決好提高黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)水平和執(zhí)政水平、提高拒腐防變和抵御風(fēng)險(xiǎn)能力這兩大歷史性課題，把黨建設(shè)成為全心全意為人民服務(wù)、思想上政治上組織上完全鞏固、能夠經(jīng)受住各種風(fēng)險(xiǎn)、始終走在時(shí)代前列、領(lǐng)導(dǎo)全國人民建設(shè)中國特色社會(huì)主義的馬克思主義政黨，指明了前進(jìn)方向和現(xiàn)實(shí)途徑。
《文選》中關(guān)于黨的建設(shè)的思想，為我們繼續(xù)探索共產(chǎn)黨執(zhí)政規(guī)律和黨的自身建設(shè)規(guī)律提供了有力的思想武器。實(shí)踐沒有止境，創(chuàng)新也沒有止境。世界在變化，中國在前進(jìn)。學(xué)好用好“三個(gè)代表”重要思想，在實(shí)踐中繼續(xù)堅(jiān)持和發(fā)展馬克思主義，是時(shí)代賦予我們的光榮而神圣的使命。黨的十六大以來，以胡錦濤同志為總書記的黨中央緊密結(jié)合新世紀(jì)新階段國際國內(nèi)形勢的發(fā)展變化，提出了以人為本、實(shí)現(xiàn)科學(xué)發(fā)展、構(gòu)建社會(huì)主義和諧社會(huì)、建設(shè)社會(huì)主義新農(nóng)村、建設(shè)創(chuàng)新型國家、樹立社會(huì)主義榮辱觀、推動(dòng)建設(shè)和諧世界、加強(qiáng)黨的先進(jìn)性建設(shè)等重大戰(zhàn)略思想和重大戰(zhàn)略任務(wù)。我們要緊密聯(lián)系改革開放和社會(huì)主義現(xiàn)代化建設(shè)的實(shí)踐，通過學(xué)習(xí)《文選》，進(jìn)一步加深對(duì)黨中央提出的一系列重大戰(zhàn)略思想的認(rèn)識(shí)，更好地推進(jìn)社會(huì)主義經(jīng)濟(jì)建設(shè)、政治建設(shè)、文化建設(shè)、社會(huì)建設(shè)，繼續(xù)在思想上不斷有新解放、理論上不斷有新發(fā)展、實(shí)踐上不斷有新創(chuàng)造，不斷探索共產(chǎn)黨執(zhí)政規(guī)律和黨的自身建設(shè)規(guī)律，使我們黨在世界形勢深刻變化的歷史進(jìn)程中始終走在時(shí)代前列，在應(yīng)對(duì)國內(nèi)外各種風(fēng)險(xiǎn)考驗(yàn)的歷史進(jìn)程中始終成為全國人民的主心骨，在建設(shè)中國特色社會(huì)主義的歷史進(jìn)程中始終成為堅(jiān)強(qiáng)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)核心。
第三篇：《商務(wù)英語精讀》說課程講稿
《商務(wù)英語精讀》說課程講稿
我將從課程設(shè)計(jì)、課程實(shí)施、課程教學(xué)效果三個(gè)方面來介紹《商務(wù)英語精讀》這門課程。
一、課程設(shè)計(jì)
1、培養(yǎng)目標(biāo)
本課程以培養(yǎng)能用英語從事一般性外貿(mào)和商務(wù)工作的人才為目標(biāo)。通過商務(wù)英語基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)的教學(xué)，和課堂的小組活動(dòng)為學(xué)生營造各種語言環(huán)境，使學(xué)生正確掌握商務(wù)英語的基本用語與表達(dá)方式，具有基礎(chǔ)商務(wù)文體閱讀、寫作的基本技能；通過商務(wù)運(yùn)作基本知識(shí)的教學(xué)，使學(xué)生了解外貿(mào)及商務(wù)運(yùn)作的基本規(guī)范與業(yè)務(wù)流程；通過技能、案例的學(xué)習(xí)，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生使學(xué)生合作、交流、解決問題的能力。讓學(xué)生能夠把所學(xué)的知識(shí)用于各種日常交際活動(dòng)和商務(wù)活動(dòng)中。
2、課程性質(zhì)
《商務(wù)英語精讀》既是商務(wù)英語專業(yè)的基礎(chǔ)理論課程，也是一門實(shí)用的實(shí)訓(xùn)類課程。
首先，作為一門基礎(chǔ)理論課程，《商務(wù)英語精讀》為其他一些相相關(guān)課程，比如：《外貿(mào)英文函電》、《商務(wù)英語閱讀》、《商務(wù)英語寫作》、《商務(wù)英語視聽說》等，打下聽、說、讀、寫、譯的基本能力；而且商務(wù)英語專業(yè)最基本的技能是運(yùn)用英語語言的能力，這一最基本的技能，唯有通過理論教學(xué)，才能獲得并掌握。
其次，《商務(wù)英語精讀》又是一門專業(yè)實(shí)訓(xùn)類課程。我們以就業(yè)為導(dǎo)向，以能力為本位，以學(xué)生為主體，培養(yǎng)高素質(zhì)技能人才。按基本能力要求對(duì)學(xué)生進(jìn)行分項(xiàng)實(shí)訓(xùn)，努力提高學(xué)生聽、說、讀、寫、譯等能力，同時(shí)通過情景模擬、角色扮演、案例分析解讀等方式培養(yǎng)學(xué)生各種商務(wù)技能。
3、課程理念
1）夯實(shí)基礎(chǔ)。聽、說、讀、寫、譯的基本能力。
2）以應(yīng)用為目的。將國際商務(wù)活動(dòng)的真是內(nèi)容引入課堂教學(xué)，讓學(xué)生體驗(yàn)真實(shí)的商務(wù)世界。同時(shí)每個(gè)單元都設(shè)有角色扮演和案例學(xué)習(xí)等交際任務(wù)，鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生在完成實(shí)際任務(wù)的過程中使用所學(xué)的語言知識(shí)，提高交際能力和其他商務(wù)技能。
3）以必需、夠用為度。體現(xiàn)了職業(yè)教育的新理念，對(duì)語言知識(shí)的學(xué)習(xí)要必須、要夠用。同時(shí)為學(xué)生的持續(xù)發(fā)展打下基礎(chǔ)。
4）突出應(yīng)用。相對(duì)弱化詞匯、句型、語法的教學(xué)，強(qiáng)化聽、說，提高表達(dá)能力，突出實(shí)用技能。
4、課程功能
1）知識(shí)能力
了解商務(wù)英語的語言特點(diǎn)，掌握商務(wù)方面的的句型、文法、詞匯，從本質(zhì)上感受與基礎(chǔ)英語的差別。
按照課程進(jìn)展可進(jìn)行相應(yīng)的商務(wù)英語對(duì)話；
2）學(xué)習(xí)能力
培養(yǎng)記憶能力。記憶不僅是商務(wù)英語學(xué)習(xí)的基礎(chǔ)，更是任何學(xué)習(xí)的基礎(chǔ)。沒有記憶就沒有辦法使學(xué)習(xí)承上啟下、左右關(guān)聯(lián)，更不可能“融匯貫通”。記憶能力是在記憶的鍛煉中得以保持和改善。而《商務(wù)英語精讀》這門課程涉及商務(wù)、金融等各方面的英語詞匯和術(shù)語，恰恰可以鍛煉學(xué)生的記憶能力。
培養(yǎng)自主學(xué)習(xí)能力。學(xué)校之外的社會(huì)是一個(gè)更為宏大、紛繁的世界，而課堂所學(xué)、學(xué)校所學(xué)畢竟有限。學(xué)生要學(xué)會(huì)主動(dòng)學(xué)習(xí)，尋找自己自己需要的資料。
語言組織和表達(dá)能力。這是語言學(xué)習(xí)本身的需要，在《商務(wù)英語精讀》課程的學(xué)習(xí)中我們從模仿開始，模仿商務(wù)英語的語言結(jié)構(gòu)、用詞習(xí)慣。然后進(jìn)行對(duì)話練習(xí)，角色扮演，試著去溝通、去表達(dá)。
3）社會(huì)能力
人際交流能力。語言是在彼此的交流中成為活的語言，才會(huì)生動(dòng)，有生機(jī)。學(xué)生要交流才會(huì)有進(jìn)步。同時(shí)在學(xué)習(xí)的過程中培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的團(tuán)隊(duì)合作精神，工作的責(zé)任感。
綜上所述，知識(shí)能力，學(xué)習(xí)能力，社會(huì)能力三位一體，相互支撐。
二、課程實(shí)施
1、課程實(shí)施計(jì)劃
《商務(wù)英語精讀》課程從第一學(xué)期到就開始開設(shè)一直到第五學(xué)期。本套書共四冊(cè)，前面三學(xué)期每學(xué)期上一冊(cè)，而第四冊(cè)為高級(jí)教程，難度較大，因此分為兩學(xué)期上完。為保證教學(xué)質(zhì)量和教學(xué)效果，在前四學(xué)期，每周為5課時(shí)，最后一學(xué)期為每周4節(jié)。其中60%的學(xué)時(shí)為理論講授，40%的學(xué)時(shí)為技能實(shí)訓(xùn)。
2、教材及教材特點(diǎn)（教材介紹）
教材是體現(xiàn)教學(xué)內(nèi)容和教學(xué)方法的知識(shí)載體，是教學(xué)的基本工具，也是深化教育教學(xué)改革，全面推進(jìn)素質(zhì)教育，培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)新人才的重要保證。教材的質(zhì)量直接影響教學(xué)質(zhì)量和人才培養(yǎng)質(zhì)量。因此，選用合適的教材，按教材進(jìn)行生動(dòng)的教學(xué)，是保證商務(wù)英語課程平衡結(jié)合教學(xué)的前提。
《體驗(yàn)商務(wù)英語》系列教材是在培生教育集團(tuán)具有廣泛國際影響的Market Lea系列教材和Powerhouse系列教材的基礎(chǔ)上改編的。高等教育出版社對(duì)這兩套教材進(jìn)行了初選和進(jìn)一步的比較、分析和評(píng)價(jià)，從教學(xué)對(duì)象、目標(biāo)、內(nèi)容、教學(xué)法、教學(xué)任務(wù)等方面做客觀分析(即對(duì)被評(píng)價(jià)的教材進(jìn)行分析)，在此基礎(chǔ)上，引進(jìn)并改編了這兩套教材。
3、教學(xué)重點(diǎn)、難點(diǎn)及教學(xué)方法：
在《商務(wù)英語精讀》實(shí)際教學(xué)中要掌握好語言教學(xué)和技能教學(xué)的相互結(jié)合。在語言教學(xué)中，一方面高職高專的商務(wù)英語專業(yè)的學(xué)生對(duì)基礎(chǔ)英語詞匯、語法有一定的掌握，因此商務(wù)英語教學(xué)中的語言教學(xué)重點(diǎn)是通過商務(wù)背景、專業(yè)知識(shí)的講解、商務(wù)文章的閱讀增加學(xué)生的詞匯量，尤其是商務(wù)專業(yè)詞匯，同時(shí)鞏固語法知識(shí)。另一方面，學(xué)生無法在短時(shí)間內(nèi)掌握太多的詞匯，過多的詞匯與語法只會(huì)導(dǎo)致他們對(duì)詞義、用法等的混淆。適量的詞匯和語法掌握既能促進(jìn)學(xué)生交流，又不至于讓學(xué)生產(chǎn)生混淆。而在商務(wù)英語教學(xué)中學(xué)生應(yīng)該主要掌握的商務(wù)英語技能
主要有電話對(duì)話、演講展示、會(huì)議參與、商務(wù)談判和商務(wù)寫作這幾個(gè)大的方面。而技能的掌握也不是通過一次兩次的高強(qiáng)度練習(xí)就能掌握的，而是需要持續(xù)穩(wěn)定地練習(xí)而鞏固并得以進(jìn)步。因此，無論語言教學(xué)還是技能教學(xué)都必須遵循循序漸進(jìn)的原則。
因此，采用靈活、合適的教學(xué)方法，是提高教學(xué)水平，增強(qiáng)教學(xué)效果的重要保證。
一方面，商務(wù)英語精讀課程中采用了多種多樣的教學(xué)方法。包括教師講解、演講、游戲、角色扮演、結(jié)對(duì)活動(dòng)、分組討論、集體研討、開放式任務(wù)教學(xué)等。這些方法的綜合有效使用有助于創(chuàng)建一個(gè)平和的課堂環(huán)境，讓學(xué)生融入英語的語境當(dāng)中。
另一方面，隨著科技的進(jìn)步，多媒體已成為當(dāng)今教學(xué)領(lǐng)域的熱點(diǎn)。教師應(yīng)該能夠依據(jù)教學(xué)大綱的要求，從學(xué)生的實(shí)際出發(fā)合理選擇現(xiàn)代化教學(xué)媒體，且使之與傳統(tǒng)的教學(xué)媒體合理結(jié)合，就能夠極大地豐富課堂教學(xué)，大大激發(fā)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)興趣，促進(jìn)學(xué)生對(duì)知識(shí)的理解和記憶，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的各種能力，提高學(xué)生的素質(zhì)，大大提高教學(xué)效果。多媒體的使用在課堂教學(xué)中起著不可忽視的作用。
三、課程教學(xué)效果
1．在實(shí)踐教學(xué)方面：在教學(xué)中積極應(yīng)用信息技術(shù)，全程使用多媒體自制課件，利用網(wǎng)絡(luò)資源搜集案例，還經(jīng)常在教學(xué)中采集音像資料，提高了學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)熱情，活躍了課堂氣氛，保證了高質(zhì)量完成教學(xué)效果。
2．在教學(xué)改革方面：結(jié)合職業(yè)教育“產(chǎn)學(xué)研”教學(xué)模式，在專業(yè)培養(yǎng)過程中，形成一套獨(dú)特的應(yīng)用型外語人才培養(yǎng)模式，重點(diǎn)突出技能和綜合素質(zhì)能力的培養(yǎng)。以教師為主導(dǎo)，以學(xué)生為中心的互動(dòng)式教學(xué)方法活躍了課堂學(xué)習(xí)氣氛，激發(fā)了學(xué)生參與課堂活動(dòng)的興趣和積極性，為學(xué)生提供了更多的機(jī)會(huì)和平臺(tái)來展現(xiàn)自己的知識(shí)能力，有足夠的空間來發(fā)揮自己的想象力和創(chuàng)造力。使學(xué)生不但具有一技之長又具有可持續(xù)性發(fā)展的能力。因此，學(xué)生積極響應(yīng)，主動(dòng)配合。
第四篇：《商務(wù)英語精讀》說課程講稿1
《商務(wù)英語精讀》說課程講稿
我將從課程設(shè)計(jì)、課程實(shí)施、課程教學(xué)效果三個(gè)方面來介紹《商務(wù)英語精讀》這門課程。
一、課程設(shè)計(jì)
1、培養(yǎng)目標(biāo)
本課程以培養(yǎng)能用英語從事一般性外貿(mào)和商務(wù)工作的人才為目標(biāo)。通過商務(wù)英語基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)的教學(xué)，和課堂的小組活動(dòng)為學(xué)生營造各種語言環(huán)境，使學(xué)生正確掌握商務(wù)英語的基本用語與表達(dá)方式，具有基礎(chǔ)商務(wù)文體閱讀、寫作的基本技能；通過商務(wù)運(yùn)作基本知識(shí)的教學(xué)，使學(xué)生了解外貿(mào)及商務(wù)運(yùn)作的基本規(guī)范與業(yè)務(wù)流程；通過技能、案例的學(xué)習(xí)，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生使學(xué)生合作、交流、解決問題的能力。讓學(xué)生能夠把所學(xué)的知識(shí)用于各種日常交際活動(dòng)和商務(wù)活動(dòng)中。
2、課程性質(zhì)
《商務(wù)英語精讀》既是商務(wù)英語專業(yè)的基礎(chǔ)理論課程，也是一門實(shí)用的實(shí)訓(xùn)類課程。
首先，作為一門基礎(chǔ)理論課程，《商務(wù)英語精讀》為其他一些相相關(guān)課程，比如：《外貿(mào)英文函電》、《商務(wù)英語閱讀》、《商務(wù)英語寫作》、《商務(wù)英語視聽說》等，打下聽、說、讀、寫、譯的基本能力；而且商務(wù)英語專業(yè)最基本的技能是運(yùn)用英語語言的能力，這一最基本的技能，唯有通過理論教學(xué)，才能獲得并掌握。
其次，《商務(wù)英語精讀》又是一門專業(yè)實(shí)訓(xùn)類課程。我們以就業(yè)為導(dǎo)向，以能力為本位，以學(xué)生為主體，培養(yǎng)高素質(zhì)技能人才。按基本能力要求對(duì)學(xué)生進(jìn)行分項(xiàng)實(shí)訓(xùn)，努力提高學(xué)生聽、說、讀、寫、譯等能力，同時(shí)通過情景模擬、角色扮演、案例分析解讀等方式培養(yǎng)學(xué)生各種商務(wù)技能。
二、課程實(shí)施
1、課程實(shí)施計(jì)劃
《商務(wù)英語精讀》課程從第一學(xué)期到就開始開設(shè)一直到第五學(xué)期。本套書共四冊(cè)，前面三學(xué)期每學(xué)期上一冊(cè)，而第四冊(cè)為高級(jí)教程，難度較大，因此分為兩學(xué)期上完。為保證教學(xué)質(zhì)量和教學(xué)效果，在前四學(xué)期，每周為5課時(shí)，最后一學(xué)期為每周4節(jié)。其中60%的學(xué)時(shí)為理論講授，40%的學(xué)時(shí)為技能實(shí)訓(xùn)。
2、教材及教材特點(diǎn)（教材介紹）
教材是體現(xiàn)教學(xué)內(nèi)容和教學(xué)方法的知識(shí)載體，是教學(xué)的基本工具，也是深化教育教學(xué)改革，全面推進(jìn)素質(zhì)教育，培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)新人才的重要保證。教材的質(zhì)量直接影響教學(xué)質(zhì)量和人才培養(yǎng)質(zhì)量。因此，選用合適的教材，按教材進(jìn)行生動(dòng)的教學(xué)，是保證商務(wù)英語課程平衡結(jié)合教學(xué)的前提。
《體驗(yàn)商務(wù)英語》系列教材是在培生教育集團(tuán)具有廣泛國際影響的Market Lea系列教材和Powerhouse系列教材的基礎(chǔ)上改編的。高等教育出版社對(duì)這兩套教材進(jìn)行了初選和進(jìn)一步的比較、分析和評(píng)價(jià)，從教學(xué)對(duì)象、目標(biāo)、內(nèi)容、教學(xué)法、教學(xué)任務(wù)等方面做客觀分析(即對(duì)被評(píng)價(jià)的教材進(jìn)行分析)，在此基礎(chǔ)上，引進(jìn)并改編了這兩套教材。
