the different between Group and consortium? About two years didn't come here. Today I said to myself I should learn English well, I listened a program, which said Enghlish can let speaker clearly express what he/she want to say. I taken a English vocabulary book, it has many vocabulary lists. The first list a word "consortium" chinese mean"集团，财团；社团，协会”. My question is what's the different between Group and consortium. My company, we offten said, Jiangsu pacfic automatic company,why we are all didn;t used "consortium".
