Summary

Secretarial Science is the core course of the Chinese secretarial major and an important elective for students in management and economics. Taking the secretary and secretarial work as its main object of study, the course explores the general laws of secretarial work and outlines its knowledge and methods, serving as the foundation for other specialized courses in the secretarial program. In this third edition, while the main structure and basic theories of the second edition remain unchanged, the content has been updated, expanded, streamlined, and innovated. The book reflects recent national regulations, adds "lead-in cases" to aid student understanding, places greater emphasis on practical teaching, and strengthens training in job skills so that students can adapt more quickly to the requirements of secretarial positions. The book can serve as an undergraduate textbook for related majors in higher education institutions, including business administration, economic management, marketing, enterprise management, international trade, logistics management, tourism management, international business, public management, administrative management, and secretarial studies. It can also be used for upgrading from junior college to bachelor's programs, higher vocational and technical education, adult education, open universities, evening colleges, correspondence courses, self-study examinations, and intermediate professional title examinations. Its broad coverage meets the teaching needs of various contexts.

Editor's review

Written by Jiang Shuang and Qiu Yang, Secretarial Science (Third Edition) takes the secretary and secretarial work as its object of study, explores the general laws of secretarial work, and outlines its knowledge and methods. It is the core-course textbook for the Chinese secretarial major and an important elective reader for students in management and economics. While retaining the main structure and basic theories of the second edition, the third edition has been updated, expanded, streamlined, and innovated: it reflects recent national regulations, adds "lead-in cases" to aid student understanding, places greater emphasis on practical teaching, and strengthens training in job skills to help learners adapt more quickly to the requirements of secretarial positions. This revision approach—"stable theory, updated content, case-guided learning, and practical skills"—enables the textbook to support systematic classroom instruction while also facilitating students' self-testing and practice after class. With broad coverage, the book can serve as an undergraduate textbook for related majors in higher education institutions, including business administration, economic management, marketing, enterprise management, international trade, logistics management, tourism management, international business, public management, administrative management, and secretarial studies. It can also be used for upgrading from junior college to bachelor's programs, higher vocational and technical education, adult education, open universities, evening colleges, correspondence courses, self-study examinations, and intermediate professional title examinations, meeting the teaching needs of various contexts.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Undergraduates majoring in secretarial studies, administrative management, and related fields at higher education institutions, using it as the main course textbook

Reading tips

Read the "lead-in case" at the start of each chapter, enter the main text with questions in mind, and review the case afterward to check understanding
Practice hands-on through the job-skills training sections—such as drafting official documents and arranging meetings—learning by doing
Study chapter by chapter according to the teaching schedule, and after each chapter restate the key points of work laws and methods in your own words
Exam candidates can mark key chapters against the exam syllabus and consolidate repeatedly with the end-of-chapter exercises

FAQ

What are the main changes in the third edition compared with the second?

According to the materials, while retaining the main structure and basic theories of the second edition, the third edition has been updated, expanded, streamlined, and innovated: it reflects recent national regulations, adds "lead-in cases" to aid student understanding, places greater emphasis on practical teaching, and strengthens training in job skills so that learners can adapt more quickly to the requirements of secretarial positions.

Is this book only for secretarial majors?

No. The book can serve as an undergraduate textbook for related majors in higher education institutions, including business administration, economic management, marketing, enterprise management, international trade, logistics management, tourism management, international business, public management, administrative management, and secretarial studies. It can also be used for upgrading from junior college to bachelor's programs, higher vocational and technical education, adult education, open universities, evening colleges, correspondence courses, self-study examinations, and intermediate professional title examinations, offering broad coverage.

How should the lead-in cases in the book be used?

It is recommended to read the lead-in case before the main text and try to identify the secretarial work issues it involves; after reading, return to the case and reanalyze it against the chapter's knowledge and methods to check whether your understanding is on target. This turns the case into a tool for testing learning outcomes rather than merely introductory material to skim.

What should self-study examinees or professional title exam candidates keep in mind when using this book?

The book can be used as textbook for relevant examinations, but each exam has its own syllabus and question types. It is advisable to follow the exam syllabus as the main line, mark the corresponding chapters in the book, focus on mastering the basic laws, knowledge, and methods of secretarial work, use the book's practical teaching sections to strengthen skills training, and then check mastery with past exam questions.

姜爽 Author · China

These works address the basic theories, practical standards and professional skills of secretarial work and serve the needs of management teaching and related exam preparation. Overall, Jiang Shuang's writings tend toward textbooks and practical guides, with a clear structure and an emphasis on operation, aimed at university students in relevant majors and practitioners in secretarial posts. Because public information is limited, the author's personal experience, positions and academic background await further supplementation; readers may approach the works themselves to understand Jiang Shuang's editorial orientation and focus within secretarial studies.

邱旸 Author · Chinese

Qiu Yang is a Chinese author about whom limited public information is available. The only work by this author confirmed in our database is Secretarial Studies (Third Edition). The book falls into the examination category and centers on the professional field of secretarial studies, aimed at readers who need to study the subject systematically or prepare for related examinations. Based on the available information, Qiu Yang's writing is positioned primarily as textbook and exam-preparation material, with content organized around knowledge review and summary of key points to meet practical study and test-taking needs. Because verifiable details about the author's biography, educational background, and other works are very limited, it is difficult to make further judgments about the full scope of the author's writing. As far as is currently known, readers' understanding of Qiu Yang comes mainly from this secretarial studies textbook, and the author's image is therefore closely associated with secretarial studies teaching and examination preparation.
