Features: On December 10, 2001, China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO). From then on, China will further enhance political, economic, and cultural exchanges and cooperation with countries around the world. All of this is destined to make China write an important chapter in the future development of the world economy. However, China's economic development is facing unprecedented challenges in talent, with a shortage of skilled professionals in many fields. Especially in the field of international trade, international management talent capable of adapting to global competition is essential for China's future international competitiveness. Therefore, formulating and implementing a talent strategy, cultivating and nurturing a large number of outstanding talents, is the key to gaining the initiative in the new round of international competition. The Master of Business Administration (MBA) program was first introduced in 1910 by Harvard University in the United States. Over the past century, the MBA program has been continuously refined and has achieved remarkable results. Today, MBA education in the U.S. is well-known in the global business community and is highly recognized and valued by society. Although China's MBA education started later, it has developed rapidly and achieved significant results over the past decade. Currently, there are more than 50 universities in China that can award MBA degrees, having cultivated over 3,000 MBA graduates and enrolling more than 20,000 students. At present, the domestic MBA education market is thriving, but behind this prosperity lie various urgent problems. A significant portion of these issues stem from the outdated content of textbooks used by Chinese universities, which lag far behind the renowned textbooks of top international institutions in terms of both content and teaching systems. To adapt to economic globalization, educational authorities have mandated that universities widely promote the use of foreign languages in teaching public and professional courses. Especially after China's entry into the WTO, the demand for MBA professionals accounts for one-third of the millions of talent urgently needed. Therefore, vigorously developing bilingual teaching and appropriately introducing and referencing original textbooks from top international universities is a shortcut to accelerating the pace of China's MBA education and moving it toward globalization. Currently, the market for imported foreign textbooks in China is a mix of new and old, good and bad, requiring readers to carefully discern. Regarding the use of original foreign textbooks, we would like to offer the following insights. Foreign publishers release tens of thousands of textbooks each year. Without understanding the foreign textbook market or the quality of original foreign textbooks, it may be difficult to find truly suitable teaching and learning materials. For domestic readers who are less familiar with foreign textbooks, the following points should be considered when selecting textbooks: choosing the most recently published books from top universities and renowned authors; choosing books that have been revised multiple times and are highly popular. Based on the above considerations, Peking University Press has launched the "Contemporary American MBA Classic Textbook Series (English Photocopy Edition)." The selection of this series adheres to the principles mentioned above: being new, excellent, and refined. Carefully curated by renowned scholars from Peking University and other prestigious universities in China, this series compiles authoritative works by experts in various fields of American management studies, making it a truly outstanding collection. The series currently includes three series: MBA Core Courses, Accounting, and Finance, comprising a total of 45 titles. In the future, we will continue to release more professional English photocopy edition books.
