55、s a phenomenon that features very prominently in many aspects of todays international business world. Many people mistakenly think of it as a very modern notion that did not exist until fairly recently. It is seen as a problem of the present and the future rather than the past.21 So I thought it mig

Similarly, he doubted whether it would ever be feasible to have one law or one government for all.3 Chatea

59、ubriands visions of the future were based, not on the technologies of the Internet and the airplane, but rather on the telegraph, which revolutionized the communication system of the time, and of course steam, which opened up the world of business in a way that no other transport system had before.2
