为适应经济社会发展的需要,以高质量的高等教育迎接经济全球化和新科技革命的挑 战,高等教育出版社受教育 部高教司委托,聘请熟悉国内外教学和学科发展水平的专家,从欧美现行教材中遴选、引进 了这批具有国际领先水准的英文版教材,以影印形式出版,供开设相应课程的高等学校选用。
引进这批教材时,遴选和评定的依据主要有以下几个方面:(1)引进的教材与1998年 教育部颁行的专业目录及后来批准的目录外专业所规定的主要课程相对应,内容符合专业培 养目标和教学要求。(2)版本要新。国外的大学教科书一般三年左右即修订再版一次,增补 新的内容。这批教材选择的都是国外权威教科书的*新版本,内容涵盖了相应学科*新进展 的介绍和现实案例的分析。(3)内容规范简明,适合教学。由于这批影印教材主要是针对我 国大学本科层次经济管理类专业的基础课程和主干课程的,专家们在选择时充分考虑了内容 的严谨、规范以及表述的准确性,同时考虑了使用外语教材可能遇到的课时限制问题,在内 容相同的几种流行版本中选择相对简明的薄本。
