Oxford University Press, 2001. — 194 p.

Business Options is an upper-intermediate level course for professional people from all areas of business. It follows the communicative, functional approach which is a hallmark of Oxford business courses, and extends this with development of business skills appropriate to the needs of upper-intermediate students.
The course is structured around fourteen theme-based units such as Performance and Trade, which focus on real business situations, both formally inside the workplace and informally on social occasions. A strong feature of the material is its attention to social and cultural awareness, often the most difficult area for students at this level.
Key features of the course:
emphasis on development of social skills in a cross-cultural environment.
each unit is discrete so units can be used in any order.
speech production tasks featured to help students learn how to sound confident and thus communicate more effectively.
each unit includes a meeting on the unit theme, which can be formal or informal as appropriate
Table talk section as a feature of each unit, to encourage students to develop conversational skills outside their normal area of work.
cassettes include improvised listening passages to build confidence in listening to the features of natural, unscripted speech.
