前言
隨著經(jīng)濟全球化和企業(yè)國際化進程的迅速推進,國際商務(wù)活動愈益活躍且更加豐富多彩,國際商務(wù)規(guī)則也在發(fā)生種種變化,社會對通曉國際商務(wù)專業(yè)知識和通行規(guī)則的專門人才的需求與日俱增。因應(yīng)這一大趨勢,國際貿(mào)易及其相關(guān)學(xué)科的課程體系和教學(xué)內(nèi)容正在進行適應(yīng)性調(diào)整,即更加注重國際商務(wù)管理能力和實際操作業(yè)務(wù)知識與技能的培養(yǎng),走務(wù)實之路已經(jīng)成為很多院校國際貿(mào)易和管理學(xué)科變革的重要方向。突出表現(xiàn)為,一是在本屬于應(yīng)用經(jīng)濟學(xué)科的國際經(jīng)濟與貿(mào)易專業(yè)(本科)課程中加入屬于國際商學(xué)和管理學(xué)的課程,二是在教育部學(xué)科目錄外開設(shè)“國際商務(wù)”專業(yè)。在這樣的背景下,國內(nèi)迫切需要一套系統(tǒng)、完整和規(guī)范的國際商務(wù)系列教材,以滿足本科教學(xué)和社會培訓(xùn)之需。為此,我們同北京交通大學(xué)出版社合作,組織國內(nèi)部分院校的專業(yè)教師,編寫了這一套“現(xiàn)代國際商務(wù)系列教材”。本套教材共有14部,包括:《國際商務(wù)概論》、《公司戰(zhàn)略管理》、《跨國公司管理》、《國際貿(mào)易理論與政策》、《國際貿(mào)易實務(wù)》、《國際市場營銷》、《國際商法》、《國際結(jié)算與單證制作》、《國際物流》、《國際金融》、《國際財務(wù)管理》、《國際投資》、《國際技術(shù)轉(zhuǎn)讓與知識產(chǎn)權(quán)保護》、《國際商務(wù)綜合教程》(英文版)等。務(wù)實是本套教材編寫的基本指導(dǎo)思想,即要從當(dāng)今世界的國際商務(wù)理論與實踐的發(fā)展實際出發(fā),基于國際商務(wù)教學(xué)和培訓(xùn)的實際需要,構(gòu)造教材體系,組織編寫內(nèi)容。就教材體系而言,在提供國際商務(wù)經(jīng)營與管理的綜合性知識的基礎(chǔ)上,本套教材按照企業(yè)國際市場的三種一般進入方式(亦即國際商務(wù)模式)——“貿(mào)易、投資、技術(shù)授權(quán)”,來分門別類地設(shè)置課程,課程(教材)的重要性程度也依此順序而定。

章節(jié)摘錄
插圖:3.1.1 MercantilismMercantilism is a sixteenth-century economic philosophy," which maintains thatcountry's wealth is measured by its holdings of gold and silver. According to mercantilists, acountry's goal should be to enlarge these holdings by promoting exports and discouragingimports. The logic was transparent to sixteenth-century policy makers: if foreigners buymore goods from you than you buy from them, then the foreigners have to pay you thedifference in gold and silver, enabling you to amass more treasure.Export was considered preferable to domestic trade because exports would earn gold.Large gold and silver holdings meant the reigning monarchs could afford to hire armies tofight other countries and thereby expand their realms. Politically, mercantilism was popularwith many manufacturers and their workers. Import duties, subsidization of exports, andoutright restriction on the importation of many goods were used to maximize the gains fromexports over the costs of imports. Laws were passed making it illegal to take gold or silverout of the country. This was one-way trade, the trade of greed and power.The demise of mercantilism was inevitable given class structure and the distribution ofsociety's product. As the Industrial Revolution introduced the benefits of mass production,lowering prices and increasing the supplies of goods to all, the exploitation of colonies andtrading partners came to an end.3.1.2 The Theory of Absolute AdvantageGenerally considered the father of economics, Adam Smith published The Wealth ofNations in 1776 in London. In this book, Smith attempted to explain the process by whichmarkets and production actually operate in society. Smith's two main areas of contribution,absolute advantage and the division of labor, were fundamental to trade theory.Production, the creation of a product for exchange, always requires the use of society'sprimary element of value, human labor. Smith noted that some countries, owing to the skillsof their workers or the quality of their natural resources, could produce the same products asothers with fewer labor-hours.
后記
這部教材是為涉外財經(jīng)學(xué)科的本科生和低年級研究生提高國際商務(wù)及相關(guān)課程的專業(yè)英語水平而編寫的。本書涵蓋了當(dāng)今國際商務(wù)涉及的基本領(lǐng)域,突出重點內(nèi)容,陳述簡明扼要,是用英語學(xué)習(xí)國際商務(wù)的一本基礎(chǔ)教材。由于本書使用者是中國讀者,在書中適度地反映中國在國際商務(wù)領(lǐng)域的情況,尤其是專欄文章和案例中的內(nèi)容涉及中國的占到50%。本書的語言既通俗易懂,又適度地體現(xiàn)國際商務(wù)專業(yè)性表述。這主要得益于編著者大量地研讀了國外國際商務(wù)方面的教材,重點放在由來自美、英國家國際商務(wù)專業(yè)領(lǐng)域的專家、學(xué)者為英語為非母語的學(xué)生而編寫的此類教材上;同時,還廣泛地向以美、英國家大眾讀者為對象的經(jīng)濟或商務(wù)方面的報刊雜志取材。因此,該書具有用較為淺顯的文字說明較強專業(yè)性內(nèi)容的特點;具有財經(jīng)學(xué)科基礎(chǔ)知識和相當(dāng)于大學(xué)英語四級程度的讀者即可讀懂。在每節(jié)之后附有生詞表,每章之后有練習(xí)題。本書提供參考課件和練習(xí)參考答案。在編寫過程中,我得到了我的老師、家人和友人寶貴的幫助。我感謝我的老師美國加利福尼亞大學(xué)富樂頓分校Charles H.Schroeder教授,他審校了全書,對英語嚴(yán)格把關(guān);感謝我的丈夫趙立民,他承擔(dān)了許多家務(wù)并協(xié)助我整理資料。我還要向下列友人表示感謝:趙曉晨教授、何斌副教授熱情解答我提出的學(xué)術(shù)問題;研究生周小青、李莉莉協(xié)助我查找資料,校對清樣,并提供了部分練習(xí)參考答案;參與提供答案的還有研究生孫倩、劉景、宋麗、王璐和張海蘭;責(zé)編王曉春女士對本書提出了有價值的建議,付出了辛勤的勞動。盡管竭盡全力編寫,由于受本人專業(yè)知識水平和英語程度所限,書中難免存在不足之處,敬請讀者批評指正。
