Overview

The bestselling Dictionary of Business, now available in a completely revised second edition, covers the basic business vocabulary of both British and American English: it now includes 12,000 main headwords. The terms cover all aspects of business life from the office to the stock exchange to international business trade fairs.

Clear definitions are included for each term, together with usage examples drawn whenever possible from both business and popular newspapers and magazines—to demonstrate how the terms are used in practice—part of speech, grammar notes, and encyclopedic comments for the more complex terms. The Dictionary of Business also now includes phonetic pronunciation guides for all headwords.

Supplements provide information on business practice, standard financial documents, and world currencies.

A special feature of the Dictionary of Business is its emphasis on differentiating British and American usage—a boon to international businessmen and researchers who are often frustrated in their dealings and studies by subtle differences between these two main forms of business English.
