DESCRIPTION
Patrick's Chap. 2 Lesson 4 PPT
Citation preview
Think about how you start your day! After you awoke, you may have looked at y
our CASIO watch for the time and turned your SONY TV for the news. After washing your hair with PANTENE, brushed your teeth with COLGATE toothpaste and drove off to class in your HONDA with its BRIDGESTONE tyres and a tank of INPEX gasoline.
Meanwhile on the other side of the world a group of Japanese students dressed in ANTA shirts, ANGEL GARDEN jeans and LINING shoes may be turning off their LENOVO in their computer labs and debating whether they should stop for hotpots at LITTLESHEEP or drinks at HAPPYMELON.
What do you and the Japanese students have in common?
You are all consuming products made by foreign-owned companies.
This is international business
