En la segunda y tercera parte analiza todos los temas que pueden interesar a traductores y a dirigentes empresarios llegando hasta a exponer claramente las reglas de contratación que debiera regir a las relaciones entre las partes, resumiéndolas en dos decálogos a los que debiera ajustarse cada una de ellas.
