银行考试英语资料练习二 October 8 Book Review of Anne Narazaki’s New Century, New Business Reviewed by John Gilliam Anne Narazaki’s recent book, New Century, New Business, seeks to examine the new technologies that are critical for global business and how they affect today’s corporate transactions. Ms. Narazaki argues that while economic transactions of one kind or another have taken place for thousands of years, the impact of changing technology on business has become obvious only recently. In fact, as new technologies have grown more prevalent, Ms. Narazaki observes, international businesses have increased in size and number. At the same time, the time required to conduct each business transaction has decreased. Mr. Narazaki illustrates her observations with detailed examples of recent business transactions. Citing the merger of Poynter Technologies and Carce Company, which created the largest financial services company in the world, Ms. Narazaki explains the effect technology has on the valuation of a company, on communication between the managements of different companies, and on stock and funds trading. Those of us who take an interest in the interaction between business and technology will find Ms. Narazaki’s ideas persuasive. The view that business cannot survive without keeping up with new technology has become today’s corporate reality.

I’ll be making a business trip there next month. (I’m with Rotaro incorporated now). And it would be nice to see you. In any event, I am really looking forward to finishing your book.

To: Technical Support Team From: Sanchez, Hanna Sent: Wednesday, July 10 Subject: Business Technologies Seminar This message is to finalize the organizational details for the technical support team for next Monday’s Business Technologies Seminar. Attached you will find the schedule with the names of technical assigned to the various conference rooms. Each session runs for two hours and made up of four 30-minute presentations. Presenters have been asked to designate a timekeeper to ensure that they do not exceed their time limits. Note that there is a break between each session, which should allow you sufficient time to prepare for the next speaker. Your job is to set up microphones adjust lighting, and address any other needs of the speakers. Speakers will not be videotaped, but several have to be recorded, so please be sure the recording equipment is in place and functioning properly. Also, room 106 does not have a computer on-site, but the presentation in the third session will require one. Fortunately, this is not a big problem because neither of the laptop computers in rooms 104 and 108 will be in use at that time. The technician assigned to room 106 for that session must remember to bring the laptop from one of those other rooms to room 106 and set it up. If you have any questions, feel free to contract me.
