U.S. Business Buzzwords
Designed as a resource for Americans and Japanese working together, "U.S.
Business Buzzwords" offers explanations of terms that are commonly used
in the modern American business world but that are typically unfamiliar
to Japanese - including retention strategy, micro-management, feedback,
chain of command, and work-life balance. Written in a bilingual, English-Japanese
format, it offers not only interesting and informative content for English
speakers, but also accurate and understandable translations of terms and
explanations for Japanese speakers. Each term is given one full page in
each language, with important terms highlighted in both languages to help
facilitate fuller comprehension and better vocabulary building. Along
with a complete definition of each term, there is also an example sentence
and an example application to help eliminate confusion about the word's
usage. The explanations are full and complete, but more than that, they
are interesting to read and easy to understand. Also incl uding short
explanations of cultural differences that may arise in relation to the
terms, this book is a must have for Americans and Japanese who work together
closely in business! Originally published in 2000, this updated version
is being offered again due to popular demand.
