Sommario/riassunto |
|
The classic book The Art of War (or as it is sometimes translated, The Art of Strategy) by Sun Tzu is often used to illustrate principles that can apply to the management of business environments.

The author posits that while conflict is inevitable, it need not be costly. The result is an efficient fram |

est d’abord de lire et écrire des textes en anglais scientifique avec facilité et pertinence. L’ouvrage est conçu pour que l’apprenant devienne un véritable utilisateur de l’anglais. La méthode repose sur l’analyse des fonctions et structures nécessaires : measurement, frequency, comparison, modification, ink words, time, cause and consequence, hypothesis, modality, purpose and process, impersonal forms, compound nouns and adjectives. Dans chaque unit, des tests d’auto-évaluation permettent au lecteur de construire son parcours de formation. On peut définir ses objectifs à l’aide de key points et du lexis, en puisant dans les examples in context, les checkpoints. MCSE est l’outil de base d’une méthode qui comprend un environnement numérique en développement permanent. C’est un “pap-ebook”, c’est-à-dire qu’au livre est associé un site web en accès libre qui permet d’effectuer des exercices directement corrélés au livre. D’autres outils sont également proposés pour mieux comprendre et mieux s’exprimer oralement. MCSE est la porte d’entrée de tout cet environnement. |
