Some markets are local; you may be willing to compare prices for fruits and vegetables in a few shops in your local area, but you would be unwilling to go across the city to find out more information. Some markets are national. Many firms sell goods across the country. Some markets are global or international. Increasingly, more and more countries are involved in the world economy, whether they know about it or not.However, there are many other markets: labor markets for job seekers, supermarkets for grocery shopping, foreign exchange market, capital market, real estate markets and so on.

Most people would say, “A market is a place where enough buyers and sellers meet face to face, so that a market price for goods and services can be determined.”However, with rapid growth of telecommunications, it is no longer necessary for buyers and sellers to physically meet to form a market.You may hear the terms “global market”or “global economy”. What do those terms mean to you? What do they mean tobusiness today? Thanks to the Information Age we are seconds away from the rest of world.

Similarly, there will be pressures to centralize control in order to deal with the growing number of global competitors and the more homogenized(同质的)[h?u'm?d??naizd] needs of global consumers. The need for centralization will present more challenges for MNEs in controlling their global operations.One challenge involves management's position in foreign facilities, where manager may see the erosion：[i'r?u??n] of their autonomy over marketing, production, and financial decisions. To keep those managers motivated, the company needs to include more nationalities on boards of directors and use cross-national management teams to develop practices that are globally rather than nationally oriented. But with such cross-national fertilization（肥沃;施肥）comes the risk of clashes between cultural traditions.A second challenge for MNEs is a consequence of their size. A number of them already have sales larger than many countries' GDPs. To manage such organizations may require even greaterdecentralization and more horizontal communication among subsidiaries in different countries that are mutually dependent on parts, products, and resources. This mutual dependence among subsidiaries may in turn require new hierarchical relationships within the organizational structure.31．Usually headquarters would pay more attention to their foreign business if（）.A．their overseas sales and profits account for much of their total B．their overseas sales and profits increase C．their foreign operations perform well D．they have a better foreign market32．The better a company's overseas performance is, the more necessary for the company to（）.A．centralize its overseas control B．control its global operations C．guard against its competitors D．present more challenges to itself33．If the company fails to control its foreign business, the headquarters' position will be shaken in that（）.

A．greater decentralization B．mutual dependenceC．easy communication D．everlasting independenceQuestions from 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:In addition to visible trade, which involves the import and export of goods, there is also invisible trade, which involves the exchange of services between countries.Transportation service across national boundaries is an important kind of invisible trade. International transportation involves different means of transport such as ocean ships, planes, trains, trucks and inland water vessels. However, the most important of them is maritime['m?ritaim] ships. When an export arranges shipment, he generally books space in the cargo compartment（区划;划分;隔间）ofa ship or charters a whole vessel. Some countries such as Greece and Norway have large maritime fleets（船队;机群;(汽)车队）and earn a lot by way of this invisible trade.Insurance is another important kind of invisible trade. In the course of transportation, a cargo is vulnerable to many risks such as collision碰撞;相撞, pilferage小偷小摸, fire, storm, exploration, and even war. Goods being transported in international trade must beinsured against loss or damage. Large insurance companies provide service for international trade and earn fees for other nations' foreign trade. Lloyd's of London is a leading exporter of this service. Tourism is yet another important form of invisible trade. Manycountries may have beautiful scenery, wonderful attractions, places of historical interest, or merely a mild and sunny climate. These countries attract large numbers of tourists, who spend money for traveling, hotel 14/ 8accommodations, meals, taxis, and so on. Some countries depend heavily on tourism for their foreign exchange earnings, and many countries are making great efforts to develop their tourism.The fourth type of invisible trade meriting值得,应受attention is called immigrant remittance汇款、付款.

This is particularly so in international business since it is mostly through negotiations that exporters and importers bridge their differences and reach a fair and mutuallysatisfactory deal.By presenting a more comprehensive negotiating package in a well planned and organized manner, exporters should be able to improve the effectiveness of their business discussions and in the long term the profitability of their export operations. To avoid being confronted by costly demands, an exporter should try to determine the buyer's real interest in the products from the outset（最初,开始）. This can be ascertained（查明,弄清）through appropriate questions but must also be based on research and other preparations before the negotiations. Only then can a suitable counter-proposal be presented. To achieve a favorable outcome from the negotiations, an exporter should draw up a plan of action beforehand, which addresses a few key issues. Experienced negotiators consider that as much as 80% of their overall time devoted to negotiations should go to such preparations. The preliminary work should be aimed at obtaining relevant information on the target market and the buyers of the products. It should also include developing counter-proposals if objections are raised on any of the exporter's opening negotiating14/ 11points. The preparations should thus involve formulating the negotiating strategy and tactics（战术;策略;手法）.In international marketing negotiations, it is advisable for small and medium-sized exporters not just to limit their discussions to pricing issues, although pricing is a key factor in any business transaction, exporters should give more attention to the full range of marketing factors. They should stress the strengths of their firms and products and match them with the perceived needs of the buyers. Once these issues have been covered, they can consider the question of price and are able to develop a profitable business.31．Negotiations work wonders because（）.

A new set of global farm talks is planned to start in 1999.
