Exercise 11.2 G: Transcript
Extract 1 I am going to try and explain some of the major factors which exert pressure on companies from the outside, that is to say, I shall mainly be looking at some different types of external influences which affect the way business operates.

Extract 4 But it is fair to say that they will all have to keep an eye on which way inflation or interest rates are going.

Good morning. My name is Dr William Mitchell and I’m a business consultant. It’s a pleasure to be here today. I am going to try and explain some of the major factors which exert pressure on companies from the outside, that is to say, I shall mainly be looking at some different types of external influences which affect the way business operates. Don’t misunderstand me, I don’t want to imply that there are no internal questions for a company – as we all know, companies have to think about how they manage their operations and their finance and so on.
