Self study 26/08/08

We learned how to take some notes today and last week. It's very useful for me because I 'm taking an interpretation course in my home university. Tough it's a little different way of taking from that of interpretation, it's will be good training for it.

Today, I read an article about Japanese globalized company, TOYOTA.

http://blogs.iht.com/tribtalk/business/globalization/?p=659:
TOYOTA is a globally expanding company. Until now, they have advanced slowly but steadily. But some rival, such as China making rapid progress, have appeared in overseas markets. They need to improve thier techniques more and more in order to disctiminate a lead on an imitation of thier techniques or thier rival.
