第1章电子商务概述1.1 引言美国很少有人能够真正地享受到买车过程中的快乐。
虽然一些汽车经销商已经通过引入固定价格和不砍价策略来改善客户的购车经历,但仍有许多的经销商继续采用卖气旺盛的销售办法,使顾客感到筋疲力尽、困惑,甚至担心自己可能在交易中受骗。
1995年,Autobytel公司(Autobytel公司的网址是)开始提供在线购车服务,承诺为购买者提供一个不砍价的购车经历,并为汽车经销商提供一种能够增加新车销售量、降低销售成本的销售渠道。
顾客在购车前会通过互联网或走访当地的经销商来了解汽车的配件和特性,目前大概有超过95%的购车者是通过互联网来了解汽车信息的。
顾客若要享受Autobytel公司的购车服务,需要在该公司的网站上进行注册,并指定自己心仪的汽车的性能指标。
Autobytel提供给购车者他所选择的汽车的约定价格,并把购车者的联系信息转给当地的加盟经销商。
经销商付费给Autobytel以便获得Autobytel只把自己推荐给特定区域顾客的权利。
经销商随后会与顾客进行联系并完成交易。
顾客从快速、没有争论的、直接而且价格明确的购车过程中受益,而经销商则可以从提高销量和不支付佣金给销售员中获利。
Autobytel接收经销商每月缴纳的加盟费,并将网站上的广告位卖给保险公司和金融机构。
Autobytel目前已经与20000家汽车经销商签约。
汽车经销商每年支付给Autobytel 的费用已经超过7千万美元(而且通过卖网站上的广告位和向汽车销售商提供服务,Autobytel每年又可赚取2千万美元)。
在2007年,Autobytel公司和类似于Autobytel的公司在网上的汽车销量已占全美新车销量的30%。
从1995年到2002年,Autobytel经历了快速成长,然后就是销售增长趋缓。
像在电子商务最初的泡沫期成立的其他公司一样,Autobytel不得不转变它的经营重点。
Autobytel从不惜代价追求收入的增长,开始转向仔细的控制成本。

Already today, less than fifty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but not less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction. Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong. Questioning and routine double-checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.37. According to the passage, the author would probably disapprove of__________.A. investment in computersB. complete dependence on computersC. double-check on computersD. the use of computer38. In the author ’ s opinion, people should__________.A. be reasonably doubtful about computersB. use computers for business purposes onlyC. substitute computers for basic thinkingD. check all their answers when using computers39. What is suggested in this passage?A. Computer won ’ t change our personal lives.B. Computer can create unforeseen problems.C. Computer has taken control of the world.D. Computer cannot affect our businesses.40. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To look back to the early days of computers.B. To explain what technical problems may occur with computers.C. To discourage investment in computers.D. To warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computers.正确答案:37. B、38. A、39.B、40.D。

UNIT 1 Internet
Most would say that E-mail was and still continues to be the killer application that makes the Internet irresistible as a technology for both business and individuals. It's hard to fathom a world without Email; however it wasn't that long ago that we relied on post or at most the fax. E-mail has made sending a text message half way around the world instantly child's play. Not only was it fast, easy and very effective, it was free. Originally conceived in 1972, E-mail is now essential to practically all types of businesses and personal communications. We still usually log on only to check our E-mail and whether you send one E-mail, two or thousands the cost is free.
UNIT 1 Internet
Looking back, the essential idea of the Internet is extremely basic; however with several innovations, the Internet has grown and evolved to where it is currently at today.

商务英语( 第二版 )课文翻译
高级商务英语阅读课文译文第1 课主课文译文新长征“中国制造”这个标记很久以前就不新鲜了,它贴在鞋子上、玩具上、服装上,以及为跨国公司制造的其他商品上,世界各地到处可见。
现在真正新鲜的是以中国品牌出售的中国制造的商品。
目前中国只有为数不多的几家公司拥有足够的财力和管理知识来打造国际名牌;其余的绝大多数公司还在为在国内获得知名度而努力奋斗着。
但是正在海外市场上试水的各大先锋公司,很有可能把事情做大。
一些人认为,在创业精神饱满的本地管理层的协助下,或者在一些想在其产品系列里添加新产品的外国公司的协助下,中国商品在极具竞争力的价格的基础上,若把卖点放在产品质量和异国情调上,那末10 年之内,中国品牌将一个一个地走向全球。
总部在香港的广告公司中国精信(Grey China)的执行董事陈一木丹(Viveca Chan)说:“如果世界上只有一个国家具备创立全球品牌的潜力,那么这个国家就是中国。
”短期之内,中国商品最有希望打入国际市场的当属中草药和特色食品,当然也包括那些体现中国浪漫并具有异国情调的产品,例如化妆品、时装和音乐作品。
中国总部设在上海的泰勒·娜尔森·索福瑞(Taylor Nelson Sofres)市场调研公司的中国区总经理Kevin Tan 说:“与中国相联系的神秘色彩还有许多。
化妆品是种靠形象推销的产品,假如你要做化妆品,你会一下子就发现,中国化妆品来头不小。
”努力走向世界的中国品牌还有一些领导时尚潮头的饮料和啤酒品牌,也包括家用电器等具有品牌潜力的产品,它们都能以竞争性的价格提供高品质的产品。
这些中国品牌中的一部分,最终将会通过合资、兼并和收购的途径走向国际市场。
而对于合资双方中的外国投资者来说,这些品牌则将成为他们更快地进入中国消费市场和销售渠道的载体,同时这些中国品牌也能进一步充实国外投资者在国际市场上已经确立的优质品牌的阵营。
整个20 世纪90 年代,“中国品牌”这个概念一直在发育着,而目前在国内受到的重视更大了。

Unit 1 Text A 职场时装潮流许多人每天都在捕捉职场时装的潮流,以便能与那些衣着时尚得体的人们步调一致。
他们认为按最新潮流穿衣打扮能为自己赢得时尚和时髦的好名声。
尽管这样做合情合理,你还是要小心谨慎。
许多人并没有意识到,追随职场时装潮流有利也有弊。
好处之一,正如上面所提到的,穿一套时髦的衣服去上班,很可能会得到一堆夸奖。
这种感觉很不错,也让人引以为豪。
然而事实上这种追随弊大于利。
例如,职场时装潮流往往不区分工作和职业。
在一家新潮的咖啡馆或零售店工作,着装要求很可能是休闲服。
而在一家法律或保险公司上班,着装则需要更职业化。
不幸的是,很多职场新潮时装是为工作中的一般大众而设计,而非为特定职业设计。
因此一不小心就可能出问题。
在追随这种时装潮流之前,要好好地仔细审视一下所谓的潮流。
比如,潮流是不是时兴半身裙或连衣裙,而不论其长短呢如果确实如此,那么最重要的是要考虑自己的工作性质。
如果是办公室的职业白领,连衣裙就非常适合。
但如果是在零售店当经理,连衣裙或半身裙则可能会妨碍工作,影响工作效率。
很多人会因为穿了时髦的职场时装而备受称赞,但事情并非总是如此。
最不希望的是不但没有受到夸奖,还落下坏名声。
正是因为这个原因,你必须考虑别人对你的看法,你必须确保给别人留下的是个好印象。
到底要不要将职场最时髦的潮流带入衣柜,这个决定得自己做,但在做出决定前请考虑考虑上面提到的问题。

UNIT 10 The Internet of Things
Software that resides in servers and/or Internetconnected objects can initiate a sequence of events, with or without human intervention. The combination of embedded microcontrollers, sensors, actuators, network interfaces, and the greater Internet makes it possible for the Internet to evolve from a network of interconnected computers to a network of interconnected objects. Such objects may or may not have their own Internet Protocol addresses.
UNIT 10 The Internet of Things
Many everyday objects already incorporate embedded microcontrollers and will increasingly include wireless interfaces. Typical microcontrollers incorporate a microcomputer, storage, software, and interfaces for sensors and actuators that can reside aboard everyday objects. With addition of a network interface, people and machines can monitor and control such objects from a distance, via the Internet. Objects containing sensors can interconnect with one another and can be monitored by distant servers or people.

These attacks are also called social engineering attacks. In contrast to nontechnical attacks, software and systems knowledge are used to perpetmte technical attacks ・ In conducting a technical attack, an expert hacker often uses a methodical approach ・2.How are DDoS attacks peipetrated?Once an attacker has access to a large number of computers, they load the specialized DDoS software onto these computers. The software lays in wait, listening for a command to begin the attack. When the cominand is given, the distributed network of computers begins sending out requests to the target computer. The requests can be legitimate queries for information or can beveryspecialized computer commands designed to overwhelm specific computer resources.3.What are the major forms of malicious code?Viruses, Worms, Macro viruses and macro worms, and Trojan Horses.4.What are some common mistakes that EC sites make in managing their security?Undervalued information. Few organizations have a clear understanding of the value of specific information assets.Narrowly defined security boundaries.

Sites that practice dynamic pricing can notify customers via e-mail when their bids are no longer the highest.3.What is a loss leader? What types are most likely to be used?A loss leader is an item offered at very low prices (below its total cost) in order to attract greater store traffic. Typically, such items are well-known brands, staples for price-sensitive consumers, and/or seasonal/holiday/special demand items.4.Describe the two primary ways that the Internet has enhanced the attractiveness of dynamic pricing. First are decreased menu costs. Menu costs are the costs associated with changing the price of a good. For goods advertised on the Web, it is easy and virtually costless to change product prices, making it very attractive for firms to change their prices based on demand and supply conditions. Second is interactivity. The Internet makes it easy for sellers and buyers around the world to interactand negotiate prices. The fact that buyers and sellers can easily interact from their homes or workplaces via the Internet makes it easy to conduct dynamic pricing structures.Chapter 8 Internet MarketingI.Answer the following questions1.What is Internet marketing?Internet marketing is the process of building and maintaining customer relationships through online activities tofacilitate the exchange of ideas, products, and services that satisfy the goals of both parties.2.What are the seven stages of Internet marketing?The seven stages are (1) setting corporate and business-unit strategy, (2) framing the market opportunity, (3)formulating the marketing strategy, (4) designing the customer interface, (5) designing the marketing program, (6)crafting the customer interface, and (7) evaluating the results of the marketing program.3.What are the four stages of the customer relationship?The four stages are: (1) awareness (the degree to which the customer has some basic information, knowledge, Chapter 1 Introduction to E-Commerce 121or attitudes about a firm or its offerings, but has not initiated any communications with the firm);(2)exploration(customer and firm begin to initiate communications and actions that enable an evaluation of whether or not to pursuea deeper connection); (3) commitment (customer and firm feel a sense of obligation or responsibility for each other);and (4) dissolution (isolation of the most valuable customer group and subsequent focus on this particular group).4.What are the six classes of variables in the Internet marketing mix?The six variables are product, pricing, communication, community, distribution, and branding・5.What is the Marketspace Matrix?The Marketspace Matrix is a framework illustrating the levers that the Internet marketer may choose to use ateach stage of the customer relationship.

第1章电子商务概述1.1 引言美国很少有人能够真正地享受到买车过程中的快乐。
虽然一些汽车经销商已经通过引入固定价格和不砍价策略来改善客户的购车经历,但仍有许多的经销商继续采用卖气旺盛的销售办法,使顾客感到筋疲力尽、困惑,甚至担心自己可能在交易中受骗。
1995年,Autobytel公司(Autobytel公司的网址是)开始提供在线购车服务,承诺为购买者提供一个不砍价的购车经历,并为汽车经销商提供一种能够增加新车销售量、降低销售成本的销售渠道。
顾客在购车前会通过互联网或走访当地的经销商来了解汽车的配件和特性,目前大概有超过95%的购车者是通过互联网来了解汽车信息的。
顾客若要享受Autobytel公司的购车服务,需要在该公司的网站上进行注册,并指定自己心仪的汽车的性能指标。
Autobytel提供给购车者他所选择的汽车的约定价格,并把购车者的联系信息转给当地的加盟经销商。
经销商付费给Autobytel以便获得Autobytel只把自己推荐给特定区域顾客的权利。
经销商随后会与顾客进行联系并完成交易。
顾客从快速、没有争论的、直接而且价格明确的购车过程中受益,而经销商则可以从提高销量和不支付佣金给销售员中获利。
Autobytel接收经销商每月缴纳的加盟费,并将网站上的广告位卖给保险公司和金融机构。
Autobytel目前已经与20000家汽车经销商签约。
汽车经销商每年支付给Autobytel 的费用已经超过7千万美元(而且通过卖网站上的广告位和向汽车销售商提供服务,Autobytel每年又可赚取2千万美元)。
在2007年,Autobytel公司和类似于Autobytel的公司在网上的汽车销量已占全美新车销量的30%。
从1995年到2002年,Autobytel经历了快速成长,然后就是销售增长趋缓。
像在电子商务最初的泡沫期成立的其他公司一样,Autobytel不得不转变它的经营重点。
Autobytel从不惜代价追求收入的增长,开始转向仔细的控制成本。
公司采取了一些措施来提高服务质量,如通过终止和顾客抱怨较多的经销商的合作关系。
自从2004年以来,Autobytel公司通过购买其他的公司、提供销售管理服务和软件给销售商,已经逐步壮大。
Autobytel已经度过了2001~2003年的困难期,今天他已成长为本章所要讲述的电子商务第二次浪潮中的一个成功的参与者。
1.2 电子商务:第二次浪潮我们现在所谓的电子商务这种商业现象有着一段有趣的历史。
电子商务从20世纪90年代中期默默无闻地起步,进而迅猛地发展,又到2000年进入低迷期。
许多人在刚刚目睹了“.com泡沫”之后又看到了“.com泡沫的破灭”。
在2000~2003年间,许多行业观察家都著文宣告电子商务的破灭。
就好像在泡沫年代突然地成功激起了不切实际的期望一样,此时媒体报道的色彩又过分灰暗。
从2003年开始,虽然整体的经济依然停滞不前,但电子商务却展示出了新生的迹象。
在低迷期幸存的公司不仅有了销售的增长,而且其中许多的公司开始盈利。
虽然在泡沫年代的快速膨胀和大规模投资的情况不可能再次出现,但电子商务的第二次浪潮却正在袭来。
本节将给出电子商务的定义并描述它在第二次浪潮中如何再一次的成长。
21.2.1 电子商务对许多人来说,“电子商务”就是在称为万维网的互联网上购物。
但电子商务(e-commerce)的领域还包括很多其他的活动,比如企业间的交易活动、公司用来支持采购、销售、招聘、计划以及其他活动的内部业务流程。
有人喜欢使用electronic business (或e-business)来描述广义上的电子商务。
例如,IBM公司将e-business定义为“使用互联网技术实现的主要业务流程转型”。
但大部分人在使用“electronic commerce”和“electronic business”时却不加区分。
本书将采用电子商务(e-commerce)的最广泛的定义:使用互联网技术所从事的所有商业活动。
互联网技术包括互联网、WWW和其它的技术,比如在移动电话或掌上电脑(PDA, personal digital assistant)设备上使用的无线传输技术。
只在网上从事交易的公司通常被称为网络公司或纯网络公司,以区别于那些只在实际地域中进行商业活动的公司(或同时也有业务在网络上进行的公司)。
1.2.2 电子商务的类型有些人认为可以按照参与到交易或业务流程中的实体对电子商务进行分类。
因此将电子商务分为五类,分别是企业与消费者间的电子商务(B2C),企业间的电子商务(B2B),企业业务流程,消费者间的电子商务(C2C),企业与政府间的电子商务(B2G)。
最常见的有三种电子商务:●消费者在网上购物,通常称为企业与消费者间电子商务(或B2C);●企业之间在网上进行的交易,称为企业间电子商务(或B2B)●支持企业、政府以及其他组织在网上进行销售和采购所需的交易和业务流程。
有些研究人员提出了第四类电子商务——消费者间的电子商务(C2C),即个人之间进行的买卖。
例如,当某人通过拍卖网站向他人销售商品时,就构成了C2C电子商务。
在有些书中,把C2C电子商务归在B2C之内,因为个人销售商品的交易目的和企业类似。
还有些研究人员提出了另一种电子商务——企业与政府间的电子商务(或B2G),即企业与政府机构进行交易,比如,纳税和填写报表。
美国有越来越多的州建立了网站来帮助企业和政府机构进行交易,例如,加州的 Procurement网站方便了企业和政府进行在线交易。
在有些书中,把B2G 归为B2B电子商务一类。
表1-1总结了这五类电子商务。
表1-1 电子商务的类别1.2.3 电子商务的第二次浪潮经济学家克里斯·弗里曼(Chris Freeman)和弗朗西斯科·劳卡(Francisco Louçã)在其著作《光阴似箭:从工业革命到信息革命》中描述了工业革命的四次浪潮。
许多研究人员预测电子商务和由互联3 网带来的信息革命也将经历类似的浪潮。
并且他们认为电子商务的第二次浪潮已经开始了。
本节概述了电子商务第一次浪潮的特征并描述第二次浪潮的不同之处。
电子商务的第一次浪潮主要是美国的现象。
网页,特别是商务网站中的网页,大部分主要使用的是英语。
第二次浪潮以国际化为特点,支持许多国家的企业以多种语言开展商务活动。
在第二次浪潮中,对于高效的全球交易活动而言,语言翻译和外汇汇兑是两个亟待解决的问题。
在第一次浪潮中,由于很容易得到启动资金导致过分强调创建大型企业来抓住电子商务的机遇。
投资者对电子商务热情高涨,急于参与,而不考虑成本或可能存在的风险。
在第二次浪潮中,现有的企业用其内部的资金储备来为逐步扩大电子商务提供资金。
这些审慎的投资尽管放慢了增长速度,但却使电子商务的发展更加稳健。
在第一次浪潮中,特别是在企业与消费者间的电子商务所使用的是低速廉价的互联网技术。
大多数的消费者采用拨号上网。
家庭宽带上网数量的增加是企业与消费者间电子商务第二次浪潮的关键因素。
在2004年,美国宽带上网的家庭数量飞速增加。
据行业估算,在2004年初,大约12%的美国家庭使用宽带上网。
到2007年底,这个数字已经介于40%到50%之间。
其他的国家,比如韩国,资助国民上网,使用宽带的家庭比例甚至更高。
虽然这种接入方式成本高,但却别拨号上网快10倍以上。
速度的增加不仅使互联网的使用更有效率,而且它还改变了人们使用网络的方式。
例如,宽带上网可以使用户在线看电影、看电视——而这对于拨号上网而言几乎是不可能的。
在第一次浪潮中,互联网技术集成在企业间的交易和企业内部的业务流程主要是通过使用条形码和扫描设备来跟踪零部件、组装、库存和生产状态。
这些跟踪技术并未很好地集成。
而且,公司之间发送业务信息使用包括传真、电子邮件和EDI混合的通信方式。
在第二次浪潮中,电子商务使用无线射频设备和智能卡连同诸如指纹识别和视网膜扫描等生物技术来管理更大范围的业务和人员。
这些技术彼此集成并和通信系统进行整合,使得企业之间的通信和共享交易、库存水平及用户需求信息更加有效。
在第一次浪潮中,电子邮件(e-mail)是作为一种非结构化的通信工具来使用的。
在第二次浪潮中,商家使用电子邮件作为整合他们销售和与客户联系策略的一部分。
在第一次浪潮中,在线广告是许多失败的“.com”公司的主要收入来源。
在经历了在线广告和收入的2年低迷期后,许多企业以对将互联网作为有效地广告媒介又重新产生兴趣为开端,开始了电子商务的第二次浪潮。
一些类型的在线广告,例如招聘,呈现出非常快的增长态势,并且正在取代传统广告。
诸如谷歌(Google)这样的公司又发明了将广告发布给那些有可能对广告中的产品和服务感兴趣的互联网用户的方法。
在电子商务的第一次浪潮中,电子产品的销售困难重重。
唱片业无法(或者,有人说是不愿)想出在网上分销数字音乐的方法。
这就产生了数字盗版——侵犯音乐家知识产权——十分猖獗的环境。
电子书的也未获成功。
第二次浪潮则实现了支持网上分销音乐、视频和其它数字产品的可用技术。
Apple 公司的iTunes网站就是第二次浪潮中数字产品网上分销的成功例子。
它满足了顾客和它所在行业的需求。
电子商务的未来并非完全基于它的第二次浪潮。
第一次浪潮中很成功的公司,例如,eBay,和Yahoo通过不断地提供创新的产品和服务而变得更加兴盛。
电子商务的第二次浪潮也同样会对这些公司带来新的机遇。
1.3 商业模式、盈利模式和业务流程商业模式是指为完成公司目标(盈利)而建立的业务流程的集合。
在电子商务的第一次浪潮中,许多投资者都在寻找具有吸引力的商业模式的新企业。
一个好的商业模式可以带来销售的快速增长并4主导市场。
认为成功的关键就是简单地模仿成功的.com公司的想法导致了许多企业的失败,其中有些公司十分具有戏剧性。
模仿或采用别人的商业模式并非是通向成功之路的简单或聪明的办法。
相反,企业应该审查自己的业务要素,即他们应该识别出可以通过互联网技术简化、提高、或替代的业务流程。
企业和投资者当前依然在使用盈利模式的思想,即用于识别客户、向其推销并从中获取收益的业务流程的集合。
这种思想可以帮助企业区分产生收益的活动,以便进行交流和分析。
1.3.1 关注专门的业务流程除了由业务流程组成的盈利模式外,企业还要考虑其他的业务作为专门的业务流程。
那些流程包括购买原材料或用来经销的商品,将原材料和劳动转化为成品,管理运输和物流、招聘和培训员工、管理企业财务和其他业务活动。
在某些情况下,一些业务流程使用传统的商务活动就可以有效地完成,而新技术并不能改进它们。
一些顾客愿意触摸、嗅闻或近距离观察的产品很难通过电子商务进行销售。
例如,对于那些必须通过接触才能深切感受的商品,如时装(在网上无法触摸到它,并且电脑的显示器很难区分颜色的细微差别)、古董珠宝(要求近距离观察才能知道它的价值)。
