资料:之后,经济学家Mr.X展望了中欧之间的商业机遇,请根据下列资料回答问题。Finding a trustworthy supplierThis is perhaps the most important step in your import business. A serious and dependable supplier minimizes any concerns on quality, trust and disputes.There are a number of sourcing sites where you can find suppliers from massive directories. To find the right one can be a laborious task, but your work can be made easier by going to sites that screen suppliers before they are listed-like Global Sources Online. Under their “verified suppliers” system, suppliers need to have their company information and contact person verified and are visited 3 times in-person before being authenticated as a “verified supplier”. This also means if you pick a export-ready.Once you’re in contact with prospective supliers, address all your quality concerns with the right questions. State your requirements to suppliers clearly-like product warranty, key specifications and order terms. Alternatively, some suppliers will provide product samples if you ask, so you can first test them yourself. lf you’re happy with the quality of this sample shipment, you can order in bulk. lf possible, try and attend a sourcing fair to test samples free of charge. Most sourcing fairs are organized around themes like “Clothing & Garments” or “Electronics”, so buyers like you can meet all the specialized sellers of the produts you want.Factory visits and inspectionsChina’s business environment is changing rapidly, and you’d be surprised how much factories can develop in a year. If this is too much trouble for you, consider appointing a local agent or third-party quality (3PQ) firm to inspect the factory on your behalf. Get someone who speaks the language and knows local business conditions enough to make a good judgment. Most agents usually charge by commission from the amount of goods you import, and also inspect the output before it gets shipped.What may the author discuss later?( )A.His own stories about visiting China.B.The quality of Chinese goods.C.Why should foreign businessmen do business in China?D.Other important steps of doing business in China.

资料:Western business visitors are often deadline-driven and unwilling to slow down to the Chinese pace when discussing business. But in China the pace can be fast and slow simultaneously.Another different approach to doing business is that in a buying decision: Westerners tend to look for clear alternatives, while Easterners may examine ways to combine both options. For example, a Chinese panel may feel that a supplier who combines claims of best quality with a low price may either raise the price during the contract or fail to implement the contract. They will therefore often prefer to choose a supplier whose price is neither the cheapest nor the most expensive. In addition, a Chinese panel may avoid awarding each supplier more than one contract , in order to minimize dependence on a single supplier. Such an approach may make a Westerner think that a Chinese negotiator is being illogical, evasive or devious, when he himself believes he is being quite straightforward.What's more, both Chinese and foreign companies will often attribute their business success to having good guanxi. The objective of developing close relationships is to build what the Chinese call guanxi (pronounced gwan shee), which are essentially social or business connections based on mutual interest and benefit in a centralized and bureaucratic state, reliance on personal contacts is often seen as the only way to get thing done. And in a place like China where the legal system is still relatively weak, the need to rely on guanxi remains strong.Both Chinese and foreign companies will often attribute their business success to having good guanxi. But the obligations of guanxi are very real. In the wrong place, at an inappropriate time, with unsuitable people, the obligations can become a trap which is hard to escape. What can be inferred from paragraph 2 ?A.Westerners may establish long-term cooperation with one supplier.B.Chinese panel tends to looking for clear alternatives.C.Chinese negotiator is illogical.D.Westerners are straightforward in Chinese businessmen's eyes.

Author Jan Pieterse (1995) asserts there are almost as many conceptualizations of globalization as there are disciplines in the social sciences.Teachers and scholars in disciplinessuch as management,marketing,finance,accounting,and economics also use the word “globalization” to mean different things.For example,some believe globalization is the absence of borders and barriers to trade between nations (Ohmae,1995),but also it has been described as a shift in traditional patterns of international production,investment,and trade(Dicken,1992). Another popular conception of globalization is that it is a business strategy that means doing everything the same everywhere(Kanter and Dretler,1998).Others believe globalization is interconnections between overlapping interests of business and society (Brown 1992;renesch 1992).As you can see,these definitions differ in significant ways.Because definitions,descriptions,and visions of globalization vary widely,it is difficult to know what it means for businesses to go “global”.What probably will be further discussed in the following paragraph?( )A.what globalization means for businesses.B.how definitions differ from each other.C.how businesses go “global”.D.the definition of the term “globalization”.

Informal conversation is an important part of any business relationship. Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos (禁忌) in a particular culture. Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs. They expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children. Yon may feel flee to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends. The French think of conversation as an art form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements. For them, arguments can be interesting-and they can cover pretty much or any topic-as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent (智慧的) manner. In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics. In Japan, China, and Korea, however, people are much more private. They do not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious (和谐的) business relationship they’re trying to build. Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children. As general rule, it’s best not to talk about politics or religion (宗教) with your business friends. This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different views. In addition, discussing one’s salary is usually considered unsuitable. Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world, although be careful not to criticize a national sport. Instead, be friendly and praise your host’s team.What shouldn’t you do when talking about sports with colleagues from another countryA、Praising your own country’s sports.B、Criticizing your own country’s sports.C、Praising the sports of your colleagues’country.D、Criticizing the sports of your colleagues’country.
