Recommend a business Chinese and HSK text book

Anyone here have much experience studying 商务汉语? I am curious if anyone has experience with that kind of text book. Anyone know a good one?

Also, I am currently considering getting a series of books to study for the HSK. I still haven't decided whether or not I plan on taking the test, but having the knowledge is always a good thing. Any recommendations?

My husband just finished a course at Harvard that used Advanced Chinese for Creative and Productive Business by Yu Feng, Xiaoxue Dai, and Miranda Chen Tahnk. He liked it pretty well. His Chinese was quite advanced so he found it pretty easy - he took the course because he wanted something to make sure he used his Chinese every day and it was the only one available that he hadn't taken. My Chinese is more like intermediate to advanced-intermediate. I looked at the first few lessons and found them about the right level. Most of the words in the vocab lists were new and most of the rest of the words in the texts were familiar.

I may need to look into that one. Thanks.
