關鍵的一步
How're you? I'm fine, thank you.這兩句恐怕是許多大學畢業生最有信心的英語。如果你想在業界有更多機會、人生有更多可能,你絕對不能只懂得這兩句。
在各項企業功能中,行銷功能與外界的互動最密切,因此擔任行銷相關職務者用到英語的機會也比其他職務還多,可是教導行銷英語的書籍並不多見。因此,我很高興見到胥淑嵐出版這本獨到的書籍。胥小姐擁有十餘年兩岸行銷工作經驗,並留學英國研習行銷管理,因此書中的英語非常貼近行銷實務;另外,書中對行銷的基本概念還作了一番精要解說,讓讀者可以一邊學習英語,一邊掌握正確的專業知識,可謂一箭雙雕。
如果你想跟上台灣企業國際化,想讓自己的視野與機會國際化,那麼閱讀本書將是關鍵的一步。
