French for Business and International Careers. Vocabulary - Stylistics - Culture

This lively, contemporary reader and reference work offers a wide array of information about France today and the French-speaking world, ranging far beyond -business French- and office procedures. Serious topics are treated in depth on the basis of original source material. Engineers, managers, diplomats, translators and teachers will find here a valuable interdisciplinary, self-teaching tool and reference work. Advanced undergraduates and graduate students will enrich their technical vocabulary while broadening their cultural horizons.

The student who can offer a potential employer professional skills and French is outstripped by the one who can do business and discuss present-day issues in French. This reader facilitates such a leap. The book shows thereby the way not only to the first job but to the extended outlook necessary for international management."
