Auto import is in fact a direct indicator of the countrys c

3、hanging demand for these products. During the period of 19831985, the import of commercial vehicles and cars grew by three to four times every year. During the period of 19891990, China only imported 60,00080,000 vehicles a year, 20% of that in 1985. In 1992 and 1993, the auto import leaped to 210,0

4、00 and 310,000 units.BThe domestic vehicle makers have become more mature than before and ready to compete with their overseas rivals. This can also explain the dropping auto imports over the past few years. Generally speaking, imported vehicles have accounted for fewer shares on the Chinese market

5、over the previous 20 years. The share of imported vehicles might take another rise when Chinas auto demand surges again in the coming years, it would not be possible for imported cars to dominate the local market again.

The number of vehicles owned by per 1,000 citizens also increased from 1.4 units to 9.9 units. Chart 3 demonstrates the close relationship between the increase of vehicle population in the count

8、apita vehicle ownership has much to do with the national economy situation. When the economy was first taking off in a country, very few people owned vehicles and the elasticity co-efficiency (EC) between vehicle demand and economic growth was slightly over 1. 0. Trucks and buses accounted for most

9、of the vehicle demand. In the second phase when the growth of national economy was gaining speed, peoples demand for vehicles grew up, and the EC remained unchanged or rose significantly. During the 3rd phase when per capita income increased to a certain level, more families owned cars. There will b

10、e a great rise in per capita vehicle ownership.EIn view of the close relationship between development of auto market and that of national economy, two factors are vitally important for the prediction of China s vehicle population in the future.

16、several ways:Instead of asking how you would behave in a particular situation, The interviewer will ask you to describe how you did behave.

28、creation, new-business formation, and contributions to big business.But what is a small business? There are actually many different definitions, but the most widely quoted ones are those of the U.

29、irtually every industry. For the sake of simplicity, we will define a small business as one that is independently owned and operated and has relatively little influence over its environment.In sheer numbers alone, small business far outstrips big business. There is also evidence that suggests that s

30、mall business outperforms big business financially. On average, for example, small manufacturers earn a higher return on owners equity than do large manufacturers, for which there are two main reasons.

36、0. New incorporations hit the 600,000 mark for the first time in 1983. This figure is more than four times the total in 1960. Of course, some of the new corporations are mature businesses that were born as sole proprietorships or partnerships and have only recently incorporated. Nevertheless, many m

37、ore small businesses are created each year than larger ones.A final reason for small businesses to have such an enormous impact is their contributions to big business. General Motors, for example, buys from over 25,000 suppliers, most of whom are small businesses.Small businesses can deliver special

38、ized products more efficiently than can larger businesses. Indeed, big businesses buy more of their inputs from small businesses than from other big businesses. Small businesses also play a key role in distributing and selling the products of larger businesses to consumers.Of all the new businesses
