內容簡介
商務和法律教育的目標不僅要使學生系統掌握理論和規則,還應培養學生的思辨能力,使其能夠將特定的規則與相應的生活實踐聯繫起來,並進而運用規則去解釋和處理現實生活和工作中的問題。因此,高等院校的專業教學應該以學生為中心,使教師的“教”和學生的“學”相結合,調動學生的積極性,才能較好地實現教學目的。案例教學側重於實踐教學,從素質教育和培養學生創造能力的角度,對激發學生專業學習興趣、培養學生專業素質、提高學生在實踐中探究學習方法的自覺性、有效地將理論知識轉化為專業技能等多方面都能發揮重要作用。
本書適用於各高校的商學院、法學院以及其他學院的國際商務專業及商務英語專業的教學,主要為全英教學或雙語教學的商務類或法律類課程,提供具有參考價值的、國內外有影響力的國際商法案例。既可幫助學生加深對國際商法基本概念、實踐操作的理解,同時也為教師在教學中選擇案例、組織討論提供便利。
