business企业

Efficient management of these resources is essential to the success even to the survival of every business.
这些财物资源的有效管理是企业生存和发展的基础。



Tips:
business“商业”正式的说法，范围涵盖了生产、采购、产品销售和服务。同时也可以指强调冒险的企业，例如，如自由企业和民营企业的组合，但并不用于正式公司名称之中。
company 是指group of people united for business or commercial purposes，公司、商行的意思，而company主要是指称专业行业/领域和非跨国或跨领域公司。
corporation 主要指称跨国公司或跨行业/领域公司。
另外补充一下：在英联邦，凡是company均是业经登记、注册、具有独立法人资格的公司。在美国的法人公司，一般都采用corporation或company incorporated命名，仅使用company命名的公司，则表明不具备或至少让人不清楚其是否具备法人资格。

Homework: Reading Comprehension

I think there are at least two differences in the way of business between Chinese and American businessmen.
First, Chinese tend to have business negotiation in a rather indirect manner, as opposed to a direct manner of American businessmen. Chinese take time to see whether their prospective business contacts are really reliable as human beings, for example, by inviting them to a party and socializing with them. In contrast, Americans act with "get-down-to-business-first" mentality.
Second, the decision-making process of Chinese companies is considered to be very slow and time-consuming. This is because most Chinese companies have the bottom-up decision-making system which involves many people in the decision-making, as opposed to the American companies which usually operate with quick decisions made by the top management.
I hope American businessmen will understand these differences in business practices and adjust to the Chinese way of business.
