This is a low level American Engish business English text and is designed as a lead-in to \"Funtioning in Business\" (Knowles and Bailey). It centres on a visit of an American executive to a Japanese company, but the situations and language will be of relevance to business people of all nationalites. The text could be used either in the classroom or for self-study. It includes a separate answer key and audio cassette tape. The cassette tape features the main dialogues and further listening activities.
