高校の単語でカナダの大学の教科書は理解出来る！！
こんにちは！カナダは最近雨が多くなり、いよいよ雨季が近づいてきました。悲しい、、、、。今日は今週から始まったBusiness Administration の授業で扱っている教科書から一部を紹介したいと思います。What is a case?This note uses the term “case” to refer to a written description of a situation actually faced by a manager. Cases commonly involve a decision to be made, a problem to be solved or an issue to be settled. Although in some cases the authors might have disguised names, places and other facts at the request of the organizations involved, most of the cases you will encounter are real situations that real people have faced. The objective of each case is to leave you at a point much like the one that the individual in the case actually confronted you must make a decision.In each case situation, the decision maker is expected to determine what problems and opportunities existed, to analyze the situation, to generate and evaluate alternative courses of action, and to recommend and implement a plan of action. Except for the fact that you will not have the actual to implement the plan of action and see the results, you will be expected to go through this same process.As they grapple with problems, decision makers encounter a number of common frustrations: a shortage of good information on which to base decisions, a shortage of time in which to make decisions, uncertainty about how plans work out, and a lack of opportunity to reduce uncertainty at a reasonable cost. You will experience these same frustrations because the cases try to give you the same information, time pressures, and so on that the decision maker had. In short, you will simulate the experience of decision making. However, cases do simplify the task somewhat: someone has already collected and sorted all the available data for you and presented it in a reasonably neat package. In real life the decision maker also faces the task of collecting the data that might be relevant for making a decision.一見うわっ 難しそう、、と感じるかも知れませんが、実際単語だけ拾っていくと意外と知らない単語はないんです。僕が唯一分からなかった単語は赤文字にした implement という単語のみでした。そしてこのimplement という単語も１２００番代で決してレベルの高い単語ではありません。もちろん文構造や文法は多少レベルの高いものかも知れません。しかしこうしてみるといかに高校時代に習う単語が大事かが実感出来ますね。実際には教科書だけでなく、ディスカッションや講義もあるのでかなりハードになりますが、しっかり予習、復習をして頑張って行きたいと思います！！では
