Managing Translation Services looks at how to successfully make the change from being a single freelance translator to developing a translation company offering a range of value added services. The book is intended principally for those who presently work as a freelance translator with all the inherent limitations this presents in terms of income and being reliant on the limited range of skills that the individual can offer. While some business skills will have been accumulated by virtue of working in a commercial environment, the transition from being responsible for oneself and taking the bold step of employing additional resources can be quite daunting. However, the opportunities this offers in terms of income and personal satisfaction are considerable. This book considers the initial Ssteps towards business development, exploiting these opportunities and the rewards they can offer. Advice is given on setting up a translation business, organisational development, what a business plan needs to consider for successful growth, how quality management needs to be approached, managing human resources, customer relations and other topics. The book provides a wealth of ready-made examples of quality procedures, forms that support business management and sources of further information. It also considers an exit strategy and related long-term planning when disposing of the business. Managing Translation Services is based on the many years of experience gained by the author working as a staff translator, freelance translator, university lecturer in translation studies, and former head of an award-winning, ISO 9001 accredited company. As a result, it covers a range of management issues relating to providing professional translation services. 410 0$aTopics in translation ;$v32. 606 $aTranslating services 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTranslating services. 676 $a418/.020285 700 $aSamuelsson-Brown$b Geoffrey$f1940-$0131074 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450981603321 996 $aManaging translation services$92448791 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01722nam 2200397 a 450 001 9910695934903321 005 20070809115327.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002374454 035 $a(OCoLC)163577438 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002374454 100 $a20070809d2007 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aSocial security numbers$b[electronic resource] $efederal actions could further decrease availability in public records, though other vulnerabilities remain : report to the Chairman, Subcommittee on Administrative Oversight and the Courts, Committee on the Judiciary, U.S. Senate 210 1$a[Washington, D.C.] :$cU.S. Govt.
