前言
電子商務(wù)是互聯(lián)網(wǎng)時代的產(chǎn)物,隨著互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的高速發(fā)展,電子商務(wù)已經(jīng)不是一個單純的商業(yè)概念,是一個以互聯(lián)網(wǎng)支撐的集信息流、商流、資金流、物流為一體的整個貿(mào)易過程。它不僅會改變企業(yè)本身的生產(chǎn)、經(jīng)營、管理活動,而且將影響到整個社會的經(jīng)濟(jì)運(yùn)行與結(jié)構(gòu)。
隨著internet的快速發(fā)展,中國的網(wǎng)民數(shù)量每年都以驚人的速度在增長,根據(jù)Analysys易觀智庫預(yù)測數(shù)據(jù)顯示,2015年中國移動互聯(lián)網(wǎng)用戶規(guī)模達(dá)到7.9億人,較2014年增長了8.4%。預(yù)計到2018年,中國移動互聯(lián)網(wǎng)用戶規(guī)模將達(dá)到8.9億人。電子商務(wù)在中國的迅猛發(fā)展,再加上第三方支付平臺及安全性的趕上,促進(jìn)網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物的快速發(fā)展,進(jìn)而使得網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物成為當(dāng)今社會的一種時尚,而且網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物也正從PC端不斷向移動端滲透。預(yù)計未來幾年中國移動購物將繼續(xù)保持高速增長態(tài)勢。
當(dāng)前,電商的迅猛發(fā)展對電商人才的綜合素質(zhì)提出了更高的要求,以往只需要懂得一些基礎(chǔ)的商務(wù)和計算機(jī)知識,能開網(wǎng)店,能在網(wǎng)上完成銷售即達(dá)到了人才培養(yǎng)的要求。但是,隨著技術(shù)的不斷更新?lián)Q代,電子商務(wù)有了更多新的發(fā)展方向,例如:農(nóng)業(yè)電子商務(wù)、移動電子商務(wù)、跨境電子商務(wù)等等,這些新的方向不僅融合了技術(shù)的更新,更加需要學(xué)生能緊跟時代的步伐,不斷的進(jìn)行知識的更新。毫無疑問,掌握電子商務(wù)英語對電子商務(wù)技術(shù)的更新和商務(wù)模式的發(fā)展有極大的促進(jìn)作用。
本書的編寫以簡潔、實(shí)用、實(shí)際為原則,依據(jù)高職院校電商專業(yè)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)特點(diǎn),在內(nèi)容編排上緊跟時代發(fā)展的步伐,選取了目前最新、最權(quán)威的英文原始數(shù)據(jù)資料,強(qiáng)化了學(xué)生的英文閱讀能力,這也是本書編寫的一大特色。同時,在單元內(nèi)容安排中也增加了主題篇章相關(guān)閱讀材料進(jìn)行輔助,課后的練習(xí)部分安排了多樣化的題型,依據(jù)原文但又不拘泥于原文,達(dá)到讓學(xué)生舉一反三的效果。本書既可作為高職院校電子商務(wù)及相關(guān)專業(yè)的教學(xué)教材使用也可作為對電子商務(wù)行業(yè)感興趣的同學(xué)自學(xué)拓展教材進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)。
編者長期從事高職院校行業(yè)英語教學(xué),教學(xué)經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富,本教材也是湖北省職業(yè)技術(shù)教育學(xué)會科學(xué)研究課題基于互聯(lián)網(wǎng)多平臺互動的行業(yè)英語教學(xué)一體化設(shè)計的研究與探索(課題編號ZJGB201529)的研究成果之一。
本書由李瑩瑩、楊雯娟擔(dān)任主編,由王紅麗擔(dān)任副主編,第一、二、五章由武漢商貿(mào)職業(yè)學(xué)院的楊雯娟編寫;第三、四章由武漢商貿(mào)職業(yè)學(xué)院的李瑩瑩編寫;第六、七、八章由武漢商貿(mào)職業(yè)學(xué)院的王紅麗編寫;李瑩瑩負(fù)責(zé)本書的總體設(shè)計以及統(tǒng)稿工作。
由于編者水平有限,書中難免有瑕疵之處,敬請廣大讀者批評指正。
