August 2007 Newsletter
Greeting:
Welcome back from your summer holidays – we at TJC Global hope that this newsletter finds you returning to work with renewed vigour and energy for the coming months. We have enjoyed a pleasant, if short, break and are now resuming our work on the ongoing expansion of our business. Having seen the increase in the multilingual legal, technical translation and interpreting fields both simultaneous and consecutive for the last two terms, we are committed to continue to provide high quality services continuously while maintaining the other main services for our diverse clientele. Other expansion areas are Global Warming (Climate Changes), New Generation Network and Olympic 2012 related services. We hope to hear from you and see you soon.
Director: M. Maeda-Nye
GROWTH OF TJC
We have continued to expand our new www.tjc-global.com (currently www.tjc-global.co.uk, a development site）to include our entire range of services and expertise. This has coincided with an increase in our core business of interpreting in multiple languages.
RECENT CLIENTS/BUSINESS AREAS
Recent months have seen an increase in our workload in providing services to the manufacturing, pharmaceutical and financial industries and also the continuation of our work in the government and private sectors. We have also gained business in specific areas of legal translation and interpreting which has proved to be a very successful venture for both parties, so we are looking to expand this area of our business.
DOING BUSINESS WORLDWIDE – Introduction of this month: ALBANIA
At TJC Global, we can provide a service to assist you in understanding the cultural and procedural differences involved when doing business in, or with, other countries. The Doing Business Worldwide section of our updated website offers helpful information on conducting business within a large range of countries. In each newsletter, we are going to present an extract from one of our country resource files – this month, Albania.
Business etiquette in Albania
Albanians dress in European fashion and lively colours, with business attire being more casual than their European colleagues and their business behaviour more laid back. Business meetings may often take place in unconventional places, such as café houses, residential dwellings, as well as during taxi rides. Contacts are frequently made verbally and payments for goods and services are conducted in cash. Albanians do not seem bound by time; lateness for important events, including business meetings and lunch/dinner parties are not unusual. Most young Albanians (younger than 35 years old) speak fluent English and often other languages, mainly Italian.
