Though trade shows have emerged as an increasingly significant component in companies' international promotional tools, little research has examined this activity and previous findings on this theme are few and mostly foreign. With the trade show costs rising, exhibitors are forced to exert more effort to their trade show success. This research studies the effectiveness of trade show as a international promotion method and suggests strategic management program to enhance trade show performance such as image-building, sales-related, information-gathering, and relationship-improvement. Our suggestions are as follows: (1) Marketing executives should make a plan for trade show management and set their trade show objectives before trade show opens. (2) Companies should reinforce pre-show promotion and booth staff training. (3) After trade shows close, it should measure their trade show performance. These are key success factors for companies to enhance their trade show performance. By implementing these success factors effectively, exhibitors can have better performance of trade show.

In today's firms, there is an increasing awareness amongst managers and executives on the importance of secretary's role. This is a study on the profile of the corporate executive secretary's job responsibilities with emphasis on communication skills, interpersonal and foreign language fluency, which I deem relevant to their position. As a result, I believe that an executive secretary must obtain at least a two-year secretarial degree, Furthermore, I propose that their education must include and stress emphasis in foreign languages. Nevertheless, I feel that in today's global economy, it is important that executive secretaries are fluent in at least two(2) foreign languages that would enable him/her to write his/her boss' speeches, editing dictated materials and creating corresspondences. This study is believed to contribute to the education of the future executive secretaries and the managers etc.
