随着经济全球化的深入发展,国际贸易、投资和商务活动日益频繁,企业不可避免地要应对来自全球范围的更加激烈的竞争。与许多跨国公司相比,我国企业在国际化环境下成功运作的经验不足,国际化经营水平还比较低。更重要的是,我国国际商务专门人才相对短缺。
适应经济发展的要求,加速国际商务专门人才的培养和培训已成为我国高等学校面临的紧迫任务。2010年,经国务院学位委员会批准,部分高校设立国际商务硕士专业学位;2012年,教育部颁布《普通高等学校本科专业目录(2012年)》,将国际商务专业从目录外专业调整为基本专业。
顺应这一教育发展趋势,中国人民大学出版社在成功出版“工商管理经典译丛”的基础上,精心策划并适时推出了“国际商务经典译丛”(翻译版)和“国际商务经典丛书”(英文版)。丛书所选书目,都是国际知名教授的经典著作,经过长期教学实践检验,多次再版且畅销不衰,在许多国家采用,包括查尔斯·希尔的《国际商务》、托马斯·普格尔的《国际贸易》和《国际金融》、沃伦·基根的《全球营销》等。在引进和出版这两套丛书的过程中,我们力求基于目前国际商务专业的核心课程,既帮助高校建立自己的课程体系,又兼顾企业国际化经营的实际需要。同时,我们在编辑出版的过程中,对引进版图书的内容严格把关,取其精华,对不严谨或不当之处进行删改,确保图书质量。
