About the Series
Designed for students in the third or fourth year of a college-level Chinese language curriculum, Open for Business combines language learning with an introduction to business trends and issues such as macroeconomics, technological innovations, modern management practices, and much more. Upon completion of this one-year course, students will be able to read Chinese-language periodicals and business-related documents, as well as conduct business negotiations and presentations in Chinese.

Volumes 1 and 2 each combine a textbook and exercise book in one volume, together covering a total of 25 lessons structured around topics such as China’s banking reforms, brand consciousness, intellectual property rights, and key industries, including the automotive, insurance, and pharmaceutical sectors. Volume 1 provides a macroeconomic view of recent changes in Chinese policies and business practices, while Volume 2 focuses on China’s microeconomic issues.

With its highly effective combination of contemporary business topics and advanced business Chinese, Open for Business provides a comprehensive reference for gaining a better understanding of the current business climate in China while building the language skills needed to do business there. The series uses both traditional and simplified characters. (Note: Volume 1’s exercise section is in simplified characters only.)
