Ⅰ Life English Talking about time 1. How are we doing for time? Do we have time for that? How much time do we have left? Are we on schedule? Do we have time? Are we making good time? 2. Times flies by too quickly. Time passes by too swiftly. Time waits for no man. Enjoy life while you’re still young. Don’t miss any opportunity. Don’t pass up any good chances. 3. Time is important. Time is valuable. Time is precious. Do as much as you can every day. Take every opportunity and chance given to you. Don’t waste any time. Ⅱ Presentation Topics Motivating staff WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…? MOTIVATING STAFF l FINANCIAL BENEFITS l CAREER DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…? INTRODUCING A REWARD SYSTEM FOR STAFF l PURPOSE OF THE REWARD SYSTEM l TYPES OF REWARD OFFERED WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…? AIMING TO REDUCE STAFF TURNOVER l FINANCIAL INCENTIVES l CAREER STRUCTURE Key points: Financial benefits; Career development/structure; reduce staff turnover Financial Benefits: Managers, company owners and supervisors have always been frustrated and bewildered by employees with little or no motivation. Staff always want reward for their contribution to the company and what they are worth. Such factors are just like market forces. The fundamental reason of looking for a job is to get pay. Staff do the job what they are paid for. However, quite often, the staff work overtime under their managers’ demand. If the company fails to give proper financial benefits staff might subsequently feel not being fairly treated, and therefore frustrate their enthusiasm for their work. Staff want some sort of recognition for the job that they do. Correct financial benefits plan will arouse their enthusiasm; otherwise they would feel being ignored. The job that the staff are doing is not always interesting, or the working environment may not be pleasant, or their colleagues might not be very helpful and cooperative. In this kind of situation/under the kind of circumstance, the staff would become stressful and uninterested in their job. Correct financial benefits can normally distract staff from their dissatisfaction with…. Career development/structure: Job-hunting is always a two-way process. On one hand, the employees look for their ideal jobs, on the other hand the employer, at the same time, look for competitive people. An employer has a number of methods to attract the best people into its business. Such as high pay, traveling opportunities, company cars and training/career development opportunities. Good educational background is not the only element that the future employers will take into account when they look for someone in the job market. Postgraduate qualifications and professional trainings are equally or even more important than the higher education degrees. When the HR managers only have 30 seconds to go through each applicant’s CV, the sector that will catch their eyes are normally your qualification and professional training experiences, which show whether you suit their vacant positions. Nowadays, very few people would like to go for that kind of job-for-life posts. They all wish to have their jobs better and better. If an employee is able to get the opportunities to obtain some sort of professional training during the course of employment, this experience will definitely enhance his value in the employment market and therefore benefits his future job-hunting. So in the two-way job-seeking process, while the employer is choosing its favorite people, the wise future employee will consider the training and career development opportunities with his/her future employer and try to make himself/herself more competitive in the employment market. Ⅲ Business Dialogue 1) Negotiating a Job Offer Employer: would you consider an offer of $56,000 per year? Ms. Wilson: What kind of benefits are talking about? Employer: Our standard package includes health insurance, two weeks vacation and a company car. Ms. Wilson: Are these things negotiable? Employer: Uh…not normally. What do you have in mind ? Ms. Wilson: Vacation time is important to me. I would be willing to give up these other items in order to receive more vacation days. Employer: What an interesting idea, Ms. Wilson. Would you also be willing to accept a cut in initial salary? Ms. Wilson: possibly. What do you have in mind ? 2) Employee Pay Raise Boss: You have done an excellent job this year and we are pleased with the results. Employee: I am glad that you have been happy with my performance. Boss: As a result of your performance, we happy to offer you the position of manager. Employee: Does this title come with an increase in salary? Boss: Yes, it does. Employee: Can you give me the specifics? Boss: Your monthly gross salary will increase by $500. Employee: That sounds fair. 3) Asking for a Raise Mr. White: So, tell me: what makes you think we should give you a raise? Miss Small: I’ve got several good reasons. I’ve been here several years, my work has proven to be good, and I’ve noticed that people in comparable jobs get paid more than I do. Mr. White: Salaries are confidential; how do you know how much money these “other people” make? Miss Small: Well, I’ve noticed all the new cars around here, for one thing. Mr. White: Those are company cars provided to the sales staff for their business trips. Also, some employees receive sales commissions. So good salesmen will naturally earn more. Miss Small: That’s understandable. Well, rather than comparing my salary with someone else’s, perhaps we could talk about my job performance. Surely you’ve noticed the extra hours I’ve put in recently? If I were being paid an hourly wage, with the standard time – and – a – half for overtime, I’d be earning much more. Mr. White: I see you point. However, it might be hard to get a raise approved. Profits were down last quarter, and the whole company is tightening its belt, so anything that affects the annual budget is hard to get approved. But I’ll tell you what I’ll do. I’ll give you a one – time bonus for your recent hard work. And I’ll try to arrange some sort of compensation for any future overtime. Miss Small: That would be very good of you, Mr. White. 4) Asking for a Raise Martin: Mr. Smith, I have been doing some industry research and was shocked to learn that the average salary for a position that is similar to mine pays, on average $2,000 more per year than I am currently making. Mr. Smith: What are you basing this information on? Martin: First and secondary research. I hope that you can address this concern immediately as I find it very disturbing. Mr. Smith: Yes, I will. We are very happy with performance and want to continue our good working relationship. Martin: I wish the same. As such, I hope you will seriously consider a pay increase. Mr. Smith: Let me take this up with the Director and get back to you immediately. Ⅳ Conversation Notes 注意: 1. 考试中不要说 “Pardon?” 2. Never say “sorry” in examination! 3. 没听清可⽤以下说法 I don’t quite understand you. Would you explain it a little bit for me? I am not sure what you are getting at. Would you express it in another way?。

bec中级口语总结

bec中级口语总结EntertainingVenueWhen we choose the venue, we should consider how important is the client to us, and take his or her characters into consideration. If the client is quiet, then a concert is a good choice.Otherwise you can take your client to the sports event.Cultural differencesBe familiar with client’s manners and customs can show our respect for others. For example, when we talk to a Japanese do not use the color green, because they treat green as the symbol of misfortune. And don’t have mutton during a business dinner with a Japanese.Types of activitiesDifferent clients for different activities. In order to make them feel satisfied and comfortable we must choose the activities they prefer and are interested in. For example if you find your client has a taste for art or music then take him or her to a concert. If he or she is a sports fan take him or her to the sports event , and so on.CostIt is depend on the nature of the transaction or the size of the deal. Consider the profit issue.If the company is expecting to make big profits out of a specific client, it should at least put in proportional investment to entertain its clients. Information about the clientThe activities that you choose will constitute a part of the first impression that you will give to your clients. So you should be careful when choosing the type of activities. You need to consider the client’s age, educational and cultural backgrounds and do some research about you clients’ characters and hobbies.Company personnel involvedThe staff we select to meet customers should have appropriate skills as well as sufficient experiences. Fluent oral English is needed when we meet a foreign customer, and he or she must have the abilities to handle the emergency.A formal mealYou should always end up all kind of activities with having a formal meal. Activities are just the warming-up activities for the key matter-business. After a whole day or a few days’entertainment, you may find the distance between the two sides are much narrower than the beginning, and there might be a lot of things that you both want to talk about.New equipmentPrice and discountsDiscounting is common in business. Even if you are buying only one piece of furniture, you can still expect to receive about a 30% discount off. As the volume of your purchase increases, the discount should continue to increase to nearly half the original price。

BEC口语讲义Part 1 Interview:Sample ScenariosInterlocuter: Good morning. My name is X, and this is my colleague, Y. And your names are A and B?A: Yeah.B: Yeah.I: Thank you. Now, first of all, we‘d like to know something about each of you. Ms A, can you tell me a bit about yourself.A.My pleasure. As you know, my name is A. I‘m from Jiangsu Province. I‘m nowstudying in OO University. And I‘m majoring in international trade there.I: Thank you. Ms A. Now Ms B, can you tell me something about your ambitions?B: Yes, I am now a student with OO University majoring in business administration.I hope I can get my MBA and join a world famous multinational company. And after I have had enough experience, I am going to start a company of my own.I: Thank you, Ms B. And Ms A, could you tell me about your ambitions?A: A big question for me indeed. I‘ve never thought about it, but I bet I‘ll work towards a CEO of a big multinational corporation. That‘s my goal in life. And that‘s why I am spending so much time on English, business English in particular..I: Mr. A, you say you‘re spending a lot of time on business English. Do you think business English is difficult to learn?A: Not exactly, though it may be difficult at the initial stage. The thing is that you need to have some business knowledge before you start to learn business English.I: How about you, Ms B? Is it difficult for you?B: Not really. You know, I like English very much, and my major is business administration. So I have always found business English very interesting.* * * *I: Good morning, my name is X, and this is my colleague, Y. And your names are A and B?A: Yeah.B: Yes.I: Thank you. Now, first of all, we‘d like to know something about each of you. Miss A, can you tell me something about your work?A: My pleasure. I‘m working with APC Inc., which is a US-based company. I have worked there for three years on the international marketing side. I must say that it is a very interesting job. I love my job.I: Thank you, Miss A. Now Miss B, can you tell me about your activities outside college?B: Well, I do a lot of interesting things in my spare time. I often go shopping on weekends,something most of the young ladies like me do that in their spare time. And I have worked part time for several big companies. I think, by doing that, I can have some hands-on experience in business. That‘s very important for my future career.I: Thank you, Miss B. And you Miss A, can you tell me about your hometown?A: Hmm…well, my hometown is Nantong. It lies at the mouth of Yangtze River, the longest in China. It has a population of 5 million. There‘s quite some places of historical interests there. And the economy there is growing fast in my hometown. The friendly environment has attracted a lot of investment from overseas.I: Miss B, you said you‘d worked for several companies on a part time basis. Is there any other reason for you to work there apart from obtaining some work experience? B: Yeah. Obviously I can make some extra money from that. You know, my mother is now retrenched. It‘s really not easy for my parents to support me. And I don‘t want to be too heavy a burden for them.I: How about you, Miss A? Are you a part time by any chance?A: Oh, yes. But I don‘t work for companies. I teach several private students. I think teaching is a very interesting job, especially when I see my students are making progress. And just as Miss B said, money is an important consideration for me. So I teach for entertainment as well as for cash.Other possible questions:Life:What‘s your name? Where are you from? Do you think the place you are living in is an ideal place for living? Where do you like to live, in the city or in the countryside? Do you live near here? How did you come here?Work: Where do you work? What kind of work do you like? Who do you work for? What do you like best about your work? What do you think of your present job?

How do you like exams at school?Hobbies: What do you often go shopping for? Do you like sports? What kind of sports do you like best? Do you think football is more popular in China than before? What are you hobbies? What kind of extracurricular activities do you like best? Why are you interested in golf?* * * *Part 2 Mini-presentation: (1 min preparation, 1 min talk)The structure of a good mini-presentation:I.Introduction: one or two sentences. No need to be very long.There are two ways of starting the question in BEC III ―how to…‘ and ‗the importance of…‘,and BEC II questions always start with ‗what is important when doing something‘So, for ‗how to…‘, you can always start with ‗Well, when it comes to xxing…, quite a number of things can be done.‘or ‗Well, as is known to all, it is very important to…The question is of course – how?‘For ‗ the importance of…‘, you can start with ‗Well, in my view, you should not underestimate the importance of …‘ or ‗Well, as is known to all, it is very important to…The question is of course –why?‘For BEC II, you can start with ‗Well, when it comes to xxing…, several vital factors must be taken into account. ‗ or ‗Well, as we all know, many factors must be considered when…, the questions is of course – which ones?‘Basically, ‗how to…‘ asks about methods, ‗the importance of…‘ asks about benefits, and ‘what is important when…‘ asks about factors to consider.II. Main body: 1st point + development sentences2nd point + development sentences(3rd , 4th points + development sentences) ……During the preparation, you should think of at least two points, in the form of key words or key phrases. Then you make a sentence using the each key word or phrase.There are four common ways to construct a development sentence:1.Explanation of the point : In this way, To put it another way, In other words, That is tosay, …so to speak, …let‘s say2.Stating Reasons : As a result, As a consequence, Consequently, Therefore, Due to, Thanks to,On account of3.Giving Examples: Say, For instance, For example, As a good example, By way of example4.Negative hypothesis : If…notBeginning: First of all, To begin with, For one thing, At the first stage, Initially, The company will begin by…Transition: And, And of course, Then, Besides, On the other hand, But more than that, Not only that, Apart from that, And an other thing, On top of that, What‘s more, Beyond those, But most importantly, But above all, Last but not least, Once…, Having (done)…III. Recapitulation or Conclusion: one or two sentences.All in all, In short, In a word, In brief, To summarise, To sum up, To recap, In conclusion, On the whole, Altogether, In a nutshell, To cut a long story shortYou can use the pattern ‗While there are also other considerations in… I believe the factors mentioned above are the most significant ones. ‗for ‗how to…‘ and ‗what is important…‘ questions. For ‗the importance of…‘, you can use ‗While there are also other arguments why… I believe thereasons mentioned above are the most significant ones. ‗* * * *Sample Mini-presentations:A. III-1. Career Development: how to fill a key vacancyWhen it comes to filling a key vacancy, a company will usually follow the same standard procedure. (开题)It will begin by producing an accurate job description of what it would like the successful candidate to do. (要点1,关键词job description)From this, it can then produce a profile of this ideal candidate, which is a list of skills, experience, attributes and so on. (发展1,解释)Having produced this profile, the company must then decide on the best recruitment method to capture a candidate with this profile. (要点2,关键词recruitment method)This might be an internal advertisement or an external advertisement in a newspaper, on the Internet say, even an agency or perhaps a headhunter. (发展2,例子)Having decided on the best recruitment method, the advertisements are then placed or the headhunter contacted and a list of candidates will be then drawn up to be put through t he company‘s recruitment processes. (要点3,关键词recruitment processes)This might be interviews, psychometric tests or even hand-writing analysis. (发展3,例子)This will then produce the ideal candidate for the company.The company will then have to negotiate terms with this candidate (要点4,关键词negotiate terms)and, hopefully, this will result in terms which are both affordable for the company and attractive enough to get the candidate they want. (发展4,解释)Even though different companies vary somewhat in their efforts to fill open posts, the steps mentioned above are very much the norm rather than the exception in any industry. (结论)B. III-11. Recruitment: the importance of having a good CVWell, in my opinion, you should never underestimate the importance of having a good CV. (开题)To begin with, in the majority of cases, your CV is the employer‘s first impression of you. (要点1,关键词first impression)Your first chance to impress your potential employer, let‘s say. (发展1,解释)As you should remember to your advantage, yo u‘ve got only 30 seconds to leave a positive impression on someone, whether he is a customer or a potential employer. (发展1,解释)But more than that, your CV also showcases your essential skills in order to compete in today‘s job market. (要点2,关键词skills)In other words, it provides an illustration of your skills to organize, summarize, prioritize and present information effectively, say, as well as your linguistic and communicative abilities. (发展2,解释)But above all, a CV, by its very nature, also indicates how your qualification and experience match your employer‘s requirements. (要点3,关键词qualification and experience)In this way, your prospective boss will be able to reach a sound decision on your suitability for the position. (发展3,解释)Even though employers these days use a variety of selection techniques, such as analyzing your handwriting or psychometric tests, a good CV is still the single most important part of any application. (结论)C. II-13. What is important when choosing a new supplier? Prices and discounts, ReputationWell, when it comes to choosing a new supplier, several vital factors must be taken into account.To begin with, I think we must consider the price of goods first. We can compare the prices offered by different suppliers and choose the one which is more reasonable. Because only if we get the supply at lower price can we make profits. Of course, it would be even better if the supplier can offer discounts to regular clients.Another point we should also consider is the location of the su pplier. We‘d better choose one who is not too far away from us. If the supplier is too far away, that will most likely increase the cost of transportation.Besides, it‘s also very important to consider whether the supplier is reliable. We would never choo se those who always deliver their goods late or those who can‘t ensure the quality of goods. Because late delivery may bring heavy loss to us, and quality is the lifeline of any business. Otherwise we may lose our own clients. So in this aspect, we must not make any concessions, and lower prices cannot be a valid mitigating factor.While there are also other considerations in choosing a supplier, such as reputation, means of payment, after-sales service, I believe the factors mentioned above are the most indispensable ones.D. II-36. What is important when choosing business premises to rent? Location, Length of contractWell, as we all know, many factors must be considered when choosing business premises to rent, the questions is of course – which ones?From my point of view, we should first take the location into consideration. Some companies choose to locate in office blocks downtown; some would like to be near the largest concentrations of their target customers. It depends largely upon the type of the company in question. Companies that provide services must be located within easy access. So they usually choose those places where there is convenient transportation.Another important facet to consider is the size of the premises. Nowadays, more and more large companies prefer an open, spacious working floor which allows colleagues to communicate and interact freely. Of course, a small company would not rent the whole floor. That will be a waste of space and an unnecessary cost burden.Last but not least, the length of contract should not be neglected. A fixed-term contract islegally binding and can only serve to make your situation worse in times of recession. Whenever possible, flexible contract arrangement should be preferred.While there are also other considerations in choosing business premises, such as rent and facilities, I believe the factors mentioned above are the most indispensable ones.E. III-7. Career Development: The importance of acquiring a range of skills throughout your careerWell, as is known to all, it is very important for a person to acquire a range of skills in the course of his career. The question is of course – why?When he has a range of skills, first of all, he is obviously more competitive than those who don‘t and therefore has better chances of surviving a downturn. To put it another way, companies are likely to retain highly skilled staff members even when mass layoff is inevitable.And that‘s not the only benefit. A person with a range of skills is more likely t o work his way to the top of the corporate ladder. In most companies, whether or not you have the appropriate skills is a relevant criterion for promotion.On the other hand, it will also be easier for a skilled employee to find a job outside his own company if he is not satisfied with his present job. In this way, acquiring a variety of skills in one‘s career offers more professional mobility.So, when all the benefits are taken into account, no wonder acquisition of skills is taken so seriously nowadays.F. III-8. Career Planning: how to assess the career opportunities provided by different types of companiesWell, when it comes to assessing different career opportunities, several vital factors must be taken into account.First of all, the type of company should be taken into consideration. Different types of firms have their own benefits and challenges. In a multinational company., say, you can learn international business management and culture, and as an icing on the cake, you may have more opportunities to travel abroad. However, English is the working language in multinationals. You have to be very good at English to work there. So state-owned companies may better suit some people.Salary should be another important consideration. As everyone knows, multinational companies usually offer higher salaries. But if you have just graduated from college, you shouldn‘t be too concerned about that. As a new hand, it‘s more important to gain more experience through working rather than earn quick money.After salary, we should not ignore other financial rewards in the form of fringe benefits. Some companies offer housing allowance, car allowance, children‘s education allowance in addition to salaries. Still others provide staff with free health club and cafeteria. And high tech firms often supplement salaries with stock options.Although there are also other considerations in assessing different careeropportunities, such as training, location, and good colleagues, I believe the factors mentioned above are the most indispensable ones.G. III-31. Human Resources: how to select the right staff for promotionWell, as is known to all, it is very important to select the right staff for promotion. The question is of course – how?For one thing, qualification definitely counts a great deal. A good qualification, especially an advanced degree, normally indicates high aptitude and a wide range of knowledge and skills. Even though we often hear clichés like ‗But degrees don‘t mean everything‘, in the real world, qualification actually means a lot.That said, there ARE certain skills and knowledge, or what we call flair, that come only from long-time hands-on experience. So it is only natural that the next thing to consider should be experience. Only by accumulating enough experience can an employee be totally at ease with his duties. Besides, experience can also tell us about his performance, track record, and leadership potential.Well, last but not least, personality should also be a factor in any staffing decision. Different positions require different personal qualities. The highest virtues for an engineer engaged in R & D, for instance, would be meticulousness and creativity. Yet for a sales manager, being energetic and outgoing is much more important because sales managers have to leave a good first impression upon their clients. But for any position, hard-working people are always welcome.So to recap, qualification, experience and personality are the three promotion criteria that we all need to keep in mind.H. III-62. Product Promotion: how to promote an imported brandWith so many people these days making a conscious decision to buy domestic products, the pressure on those companies wishing to promote imported brands is greater than ever before.Initially, a company needs to show how their product is superior to the local equivalents. Maybe it‘s better quality; maybe it‘s more stylish; maybe it‘s better image. Anyway, a company needs to show customers the benefits of being more adventurous in their buying decisions, in order to encourage them to move away from the home brands they currently use.Well, beyond that, if you market a product as something exotic or unusual, say, you‘re bound to attract new clients. As you may also have expe rienced, most people have a strong craving for things novel and unfamiliar. Of course, when the sense of curiosity wears off, such a strategy will usually fall short of expectations.Last but not least, cultural stereotypes are also a powerful selling tool. A cosmetics range associated with French chic, for example, is sure to attract customers. And if people are looking to buy a reliable car, there‘s no better label than ‗made inGermany‘. These national associations can also be exploited at the point o f sale. Playing French music in supermarkets, for example, is proven to improve the sales of French wine.All in all, if you want to successfully promote an imported brand, you need to give your customers a good reason to try something a little bit more exciting than their own home brands.I. III-70. Advertising: the importance of stereotypes in advertisingWell, I‘m very much convinced that you should never underestimate the importance of stereotypes in advertising.First of all, a stereotype is something enduring and easily identifiable to a whole national group. When an Asian audience see Eiffel Tower in an ad, they instantly conjure up the romantic image of Paris at night. And with that in mind, any product associated with French chic, say, cosmetics, perfume, and fashion, will become an easy sell. As another example, the German Audi designers in white lab coats are obviously obsessed with perfection. And so we can guarantee that any product we buy from them is going to be designed to perfection the moment we see this ad.What‘s more, stereotypes can make us feel good about our own value systems or customs. An ad targeted at a British audience might pit a refined Londoner against a brash New Yorker and that‘ll give the impression that the product we‘r e selling is obviously full of taste and discretion. And in this way, stereotypes reinforce the positive qualities in the minds of the viewers.And lastly, stereotypes make good comedy because everybody wants to laugh at other countries and people who are different. A fictitious aboriginal tribe once served as the backdrop for a celebrated cell phone ad. The contrast between the modern and the primitive kept the audience in stitches. And of course, if they‘ve had a laugh, they‘re more likely to remember the advert.So to sum up, stereotypes are useful to advertisers because they‘re basically a shorthand. You‘ve got thirty seconds to get your main selling point across. And with a stereotype you can do that in two.J. III-84. Marketing: the importance of packaging products appropriately In recent years, numerous factors have made packaging an important marketing tool.Increased competition and clutter on retail store shelves means that packages now must perform many sales tasks -- from attracting attention, to describing the product, to making the sale. Among these, the first one is undoubtedly the most crucial function. Companies are realizing the power of good packaging to create instant consumer recognition of the company or brand. Nowadays, in an average supermarket, which stocks 15,000 to 17,000 items, the typical shopper passes by some 300 items per minute, and 53 percent of all purchases are made on impulse. In this highly competitive environment, the package may be the seller‘s last chance to influence buyers. It becomes a ―five-second commercial‖. The renowned Campbell Soup Company, say, estimates that the average shopper sees its familiar red and white can 76 times a year, creating the equivalent of$26 million worth of advertising. However, everyone‘s favorite success story on packaging involves the ubiquitous red Coke can. Marketers everywhere have emulated but rarely equaled the marketing power of its simple design. More recently, the picture of a smiling Tiger Woods, the golf guru, appears on the boxes of a certain brand of cereals, apparently to convey an image of fitness, energy, and vitality. The effort has not been wasted – its sales tripled in one year.In brief, while good packaging can serve many practical purposes, it is with its utility in effective product promotion that marketers are primarily concerned.K. III-87. Customer Relations: how to maintain customer interest in a company’s products Well, as is known to all, it is very important for a company to maintain customer interest in their products. The question is of course – how?I think there are several ways to do that. For one thing, we should always make sure that we provide our customers with quality goods and quality after-sales service, as these two aspects are indisputably the lifeline of any business. Continuous new product development and innovation in service are also necessary in reinforcing and expanding customer base.Apart from that, enough emphasis should be laid on the feedback from our customers. If necessary, prompt action should be taken to take care of their needs and demands.Finally, if possible we should provide some incentives to repeat customers. For example, we can grant a certain rebate to them if their purchases reach a certain amount. And offering coupons and free delivery to customers are also effective and feasible methods.All in all, we should try our utmost to keep our customers satisfied and fulfill their expectations. Only by doing so can we maintain clients‘ interest in our products.L. III-113. Production Development: the importance of R & D to a company To illustrate the importance of research and development to some firms, the level of annual investment in research and development by the top ten listed corporations in the States can serve as a telling indicator: each of these firms typically spends more than $1 billion on research and development per year. The question is, why?First of all, firms invest funds in research and development primarily in order to design new products. F or instance, Procter and Gamble‘s R & D resulted in its two-in-one shampoo and conditioner technology. This new technology has been used in its famous Pantene, Head & Shoulders products, which now enjoy a significant market share in various countries.On the other hand, companies also use R & D to improve the products they already produce. Again, Procter and Gamble has improved the technology of Tide detergent more than seventy times. And not surprisingly, Tide is now the leading detergent in North America.What‘s more, R & D can allow one firm a huge competitive advantage and therefore improve revenue streams dramatically. For example, Pfizer, one of the pharmaceutical titans, has successfully obtained patents for such best selling drugs as Benadryl, Listerine and Viagra. In other words, Pfizer now has the monopoly in these lucrative drugs. This ‗license to print money‘ comes directly from Pfizer‘s R & D activities.In short, firms that spend money on R & D have found to their delight that the benefits almost always exceed the expenses.M. III-130. Health and Safety: the importance of a safe working environment for maintaining staff moraleFirms that create a safe working environment not only prevent injuries but improve the morale of their employees as well. I feel strongly that this is something indispensable for any company.First of all, a safe working environment offers peace of mind to staff members and therefore can significantly motivate staff to enhance a firm‘s productivity. As a result, m any leading firms, such as Intel and GE, now identify workplace safety as one of their main goals. Not surprisingly, these are some of the best performing firms anywhere in the world.What‘s more, a safe environment can reduce the occurrence of workplace a ccidents, which are usually a source of staff dissatisfaction and low trust in the management. Taking safety measures can enhance staff loyalty and, in turn, moral. For instance, Levi Strauss and Co. imposes safety guidelines not only in its US facilities but also in Asian factories where some of its clothes are made. Starbucks, meanwhile, has developed a code of conduct in an attempt to improve the quality of life in coffee-producing countries, in an effort to buck against sweatshop-like working conditions. These two companies have been rated highly by their employees.In short, if you want to boost morale among your staff, or to put it in plain words, if you want to see enthusiasm, confidence, or loyalty in your workforce, then safety should have your prior attention.N. III-137. International Business: the importance of a global presence for a company With more mergers and acquisitions than ever before, I think it‘s becoming quite clear that a company in the future will need to have a global presence in order to compete in tomorrow‘s market place. This presence can give a company many competitive advantages.To begin with, say, it can give access to local market knowledge, which can help avoid some very, very expensive mistakes on account of cultural conflicts. The Matsushita Firm of Japan learned this at a price, when they, without knowing the negative connotations of the word in the US, first launched their products under the brand name of ―National‘. Only when they switched to ‗Panasonic‘ did the fla t sale become brisk.On top of that, a global presence can spread the risk of doing business. As the saying goes: Don‘t put all your eggs in one basket. If a company sells to more than one market, it can survive a downturn in any one of those markets, tha t‘s something for sure.And if a company becomes truly global, the size of the company means it can realize economies of scale, say, in advertising or distribution or shipping. It can also move its production from country to country and take advantage of the best conditions at any given time.So I think, all in all, when these things are taken into consideration, it‘s quite clear that any company not looking to establish a global presence in the future may not have a future at all.O. III-138. Business Ethics: how to encourage ethical behaviour from employees Figures show that more and more companies are now reporting their ethical performance and it‘s clear, I think, that companies now have to address the issue of ensuring ethical behaviour amongst their staff. The question is of course – how?To begin with, awareness is key. And in order to promote awareness for ethics, the company needs to put ethics high on the training and staff development agenda. The HR department, say, can sponsor some workshops or seminars on business ethics, or even invite some external experts for this purpose.Once these procedures are in place, the company then needs to spell out an official code of ethical practice and ensure that all employees have access to it and can understand it easily. The company then needs to implement an effective and anonymous system of reporting any breaches of this code. Some companies even benchmark their ethical practices against those of industry leaders and see how they‘re doing.I suppose it‘s also vital that companies ensure that their senior managers set a good example, ‗walk and talk‘ so to speak. If they don‘t behave ethically why should staff?All in all, whatever measures a company adopts, it needs to make staff understand why ethics is important not just to the company but also to themselves as well.* * * *BEC II Part 2 questions:Career 职业题1.What is important when looking for a new job?

A clear description for the requirements of the job should be given, involvingprofessional skills, relevant working experience, educational background, andpersonal qualities as well as track record.? Set up a sound appraisal process and a fair promotion system. Make sure that all members are evaluated openly and honestly and their promotion is onlybased on their contribution to the company, rather than race, sex, or otherirrelevant criteria. As we all know, discrimination can largely under'mine逐渐削弱the morale and satisfaction of its victims, and even force them toquit their jobs.? Secondly, people in charge of interviewing should be someone who has experience in associating with people from different background, who isrighteous and can avoid personal bias and discrimination.Personnel management: the importance of internal promotion as an incentive for staff?员工的培训制定培训计划时,需要考虑的内容?Identify training needs:When arranging a training programme, it’s very important for you to fully understand your staff’s requirements, and the results they expect to achieve from the training.

Getting staff positively involved in this process will make them feel valued and respected and in turn they will take more seriously the opportunity of learning new skills and make the utmost of it.?Divide staffAfter pinpointing 准确描述,精确的your goals, the next task for you is to divide your staffinto several groups according to their personal abilities and then train them towards differentgoals.

As we all know, language is a central element in communication.
