Unit 2 Business Background Check
Reading A
There are more and more news stories about companies that defraud investors of millions of dollars. Therefore, it is important to be certain that the company you are intending to establish a relation with is reputable and the usual practice to do so is to run a business background check. In order to do this, the following straightforward steps are recommended: (1) Finding Basic Information of a Company Always start at the local level, especially for a small company, as this may be the only source of information available. All companies must conform to local laws or codes since they are essentially rooted in a community. City records are a good place to start. They will provide the information about the origin of the business, tax evasion, judgments filed or actions against the business. The information is normally public and available to all who ask.

BEC中级阅读第二部分课后练习题(两篇)

BEC Reading Part Two●练习1●Issues in the recruitment worldIn the competitive world of investment banking, good senior executives are not easy to find. So what should the industry's hard-pressed directors do when they need to find senior staff? Increasingly, they decide to call in the headhunters. These are busy and profitable times for the recruitment agencies that dominate the world of executive search and selection.(0) ...G...They needed new people to revitalise their operations, and the result has been a boom in the recruitment market. Pinnacle, a leading recruitment agency, has helped various UK investment banks to rebuild their entire senior management teams. It is hard to overstate the significance of this.(8)..C..........But now everything has changed, and Pinnacle is not the only major player in the field. Some analysts believe that rival recruitment specialists ALT Associates has a larger share of the market. However, there is little doubt that over its 13-year history, Pinnacle and its chairman, Matthew Edwards, have built up an impressive reputation.Edwards estimates that his company controls between 10 and 15 per cent of the headhuntingmarket for senior investment banking jobs in the UK. (9)...A.........Rather, it is the high-calibre jobs and people that Pinnacle deals with that define the company's success. For example, the company was recently commissioned to find a new chairman for NBS Bank, a vacancy that was one of the most talked about in the banking world.Most HR directors recognise that headhunters such as Pinnacle play a valuable role in therecruitment process.(10)...E.........Some are concerned t hat a few companies, including Pinnacle, have too much power over high-level recruitment.(11)....B........As Tim Davidson, HR Director at Cawfield Bank, explains, They can be kingmakers. These are the people who decide who gets a future and who doesn't. If Edwards forms a view about an individual, it can affect their ability to get a particular job. That view could just have been formed on a bad day.' (12)...F......... Final decisions in the selection process are always taken by his clients, he says, whoever they are.The role of headhunters should not be exaggerated. Many companies never use them. But as top executives are hard to find, there will always be a role for people like Matthew Edwards.A Although others may put it lower, it is important to remember that the company's reputation is not based on market share alone.B Their chief worry is that the headhunters can now make or break managerial careers.C According to Edwards, this is a further indication that the way Pinnacle searches for a candidate tends to favour a certain type of manager.D But this acceptance does not mean they are universally happy, either with the state of the market or with Pinnacle's role within it.E Until a few years ago, even the biggest companies were unlikely to use headhunters to fill more than one or two jobs a year.F Edwards objects to this suggestion, claiming that all he does is find candidates and encourage themto apply for a particular post.G A number of big investment banks recently decided to make changes to their management boards after disappointing end-of-year results.练习2When two brands are better than oneElena Alvarez takes a look at the effectiveness of marketing partnerships.In the corporate world, rivalry is more common than co-operation. But increasingly; companies have been setting aside their differences; the new idea is that two brand names are better than one. Sharing databases, strategies and communication systems can be the most effective means of attracting customers. (0) ... .G... This partnership will give it access to the utility company's database of thousands of corporate clients, who will be offered special deals on all its products.The philosophy behind such joint ventures is simple. In economically challenging times, marketing partnerships provide a cost-effective method of increasing brand awareness and sales. As one expert in the field puts it, 'Clever marketing partnerships allow brands to target the right people, cutting down the above-the-line spend.' (8) ............ It is better to simplify the process and give them one focal point.Recent research has indicated that marketing partnerships can be up to 27 per cent more productive than single company campaigns. (9) ..B.......... In particular, it is ideal for bringing instant branding to companies that lack immediate consumer appeal.One well-established UK phone manufacturer, ITB, was quick to realise this, and formed an alliance with 7a/fc a leading women's magazine. The phone company has benefited from the strong branding of the magazine, which has its customer base among professional women in their early 20s.(10) .D........... This combined approach also offered ITB a quick route into image enhancement, and this is true of many other marketing partnership deals. To give another illustration, it is no coincidence that some well-known cartoon characters are currently enhancing the image of Nasco household cleaning products.(11).......F.....And, of course, this strategy should also guarantee that consumers' children insist on these products rather than rival brands.However, while association with a powerful brand can give a significant boost to sales, being connected to a devalued brand can have a negative result. The problems of one brand inevitably impact on the other in a partnership. (12).....A.......A company may take years to recover from this sort of bad publicity. Indeed, there are numerous examples of disastrous marketing alliances. In such cases, not enough thought has been given to the partnership and the reasons behind it, and it has brought little value to either the customer or the companies involved.A In such circumstances, the effects are frequently major and can be long-lasting.B Some experts therefore predict that this style of marketing will take up an increasingly large proportion of many companies' total marketing budgets.C Successful marketing partnerships can consequently bring a financial advantage even to small and struggling companies such as these.D In return, its partner enjoys a broader distribution platform from which to promote its brand.E With only a finite number of consumers in any target market, there is no need to overwhelm prospects with competing messages from different organisations.F These are fairly standard items, but clearly the company hopes to transform them by broadening the associations consumers have with the brand.G For example, Profit Plus, a large UK financial services company, has recently joined forces with a leading supplier of electricity.。

Section B: Translate the passage into Chinese (1×20分,共20分)Mexico. The origins of outsourcing here can be traced to NAFTA, signed in 1993. The elimination of trade barriers created profit opportunities for the production of goods and services in Mexico. Even though productivity was lower in Mexico than in the U.S., and there were additional transportation costs, the wages in the country were low enough to compensate. The search for higher profits led to a shift in production facilities to Mexico. U.S. consumers were happy because they were able to buy similar products at lower prices. Mexican workers were happy as the higher demand for labor services resulted in higher wages. The standard of living for Mexican worker’s rose. NAFTA was a win -win situation. It’s not hard to see why outsourcing has become such a major political issue. The benefits of outsourcing — lower prices and higher profits — are spread out among shareholders and consumers. Consumers see lower prices and shareholders see higher profits. The stock market, when strong enough, offsets any protectionist pressure generated by the fear of job loses due to higher imports or job outsourcing. The investor class understands that a rising tide lifts all boats.错误!未找到引用源。

BEC初级阅读训练2三. 阅读理解(共1题,25分)3. (阅读理解) Common Stock and Preferred StockA public corporation issues certificates of ownership, called common stock, which may be traded on stock exchanges. Anyone can buy and sell shares of common stock. Owners of stock are referred to as shareholders and stockholders. Common stockholders are accorded certain rights by the corporate charter. In the United States, these rights vary from state to state, but in general the articles of incorporation spell out voting rights and rights to receive profits.Common stockholders are the voting owners of a Corporation. They are usually entitled to one vote per share.They may vote on numerous affecting the corporation (including a decision to sell or merge with anther corporation) and elect a board of directors, who, in turn, hire managers to run the business. A majorityshareholder is one who owns over 50 percent of the outstanding shares in a corporation and, thus, can call the shots. All other shareholders are minority shareholders. In large corporations no single person or organization owns anywhere near a majority interest. In large, publicly owned corporations a shareholder with as little as 10 percent of the shares may control the corporation effectively. If things go badly, a coalition of so calleddissident shareholders may gather enough votes to replace the existing board of directors; the new board may fire the existing management and bring in their own management team.Although common stock represents ownership in a company, it does not guarantee the owners a specified rate of return. As owners, the stockholders receive profits after all expenses, including debts and taxes, have been paid. They receive profits from the business in the form of dividend payments, which represent a percentage of profits. Not all after-tax profits are paid to the stockholders in dividends. Directors usually decide quarterly how much, if any, if the profits they wish to distributed to the owners. The profits are either distributed to the owners in dividends or they are reinvested bank into the company in the form of retained earnings. If the company decides to keep the profits, the company may become more valuable and the price of the stock usually goes up. Some investors prefer profits in the way of dividends while others speculate for an increase in the price of stock. If a company goes broke, common stockholders get last claim on whatever is left over.Corporations may also issue preferred stock to investors. Preferred stock usually has no vote in the election of the board of directors, but does get preference in the distribution of the company's earnings. It offers investorsa different type of security and may be issued only after common stock had been issued. The term "preferred"applies to two conditions. First, preferred stockholders gain preferential treatment in the matter of dividends) That is, they receive a fixed fete of dividends prior to the payment of dividends on common shares. Second, if the company goes out of business or liquidates, preferred stockholders are closer to the front of the line than common stockholders when distributing the company's assets.Dividends to preferred stock may be cumulative or noncumulative. Cumulative preferred stock maintained its claim to dividends even if the company had a bad year in 1994, they might decide not to pay dividends. But if they had a good year in 1995, and declared stock dividends do not accumulate, If dividends are not declared, noncumulative owners lose their claim to the profit of that period.All in all, common stock usually has more control through voting privileges, greater chance for high returns,4. (句子填空)·Read the article below about public relations.·Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill each of the gaps.·For each gap, mark one letter (A-G). on your Answer Sheet.·Do not use any letter more than once.PR: The Wildcard Marketing StrategyWhat is the true purpose of public relations and how can it really help impact the growth of your small business? In order for the media to succeed, they need information that is both useful and entertaining for their readers. This is where you, the business owner or marketing executive, come in.Most small business owners think that public relations are too time-consuming of an effort. 1. ________ It is just a matter of prioritizing your goals and leveraging the resources that you do have to take advantage of what is an invaluable marketing tactic. Here are a few tips to get you started in the right direction:1. Create several creative story pitches. The way to get into the hearts and minds of the media is through a great story pitch.2. ________ Not only that, but editors may classify you as that annoying self-promoter that won't stop pitching their product line, and then refer you to the advertising department. When developing story pitches you should ask yourself the following questions: What makes this story different from the hundreds of other stories being submitted? Will this benefit readers financially, professionally, or emotionally in any way? Is this really entertaining or fun to read? If the answer to any of these questions is "No", then it is time to adjust your story until the answer is "Yes".2. Match your target audience with the right media channels.3. ________ Really understanding your target audience will help you in the next step of your PR plan—targeting the right media channels.3. Have a spokesperson or PR firm represent your company. So let's assume that you have executed your calling campaign and have sparked interest with an editor or reporter looking to secure an interview with someone in your firm. They contact your office but no one is available to take their call. One thing that journalists and editors lack is patience, and rightfully so—they have deadlines to fulfill!4. ________4. Take advantage of your opportunities when presenting your company. PR results do not happenovernight. You must be patient and persistent. 5. ________ So do not forget to include your companyinformation through a sentence describing your company, author byline (if applicable), and a URL of your website. Media professionals will sometimes forget to include this information so it is your job to show it in your press release, articles, or interview.In sum, PR is a wildcard marketing strategy that can yield tremendous results if implemented correctly.Don't forget that your number-one goal is to get in front of your target audience and the rest will take care of itself.(1)-(5) 题共用备选答案:A.Shamelessly promoting your business or its products is not going to do you much good.B.However, when activity comes up, you must ensure that the company is rewarded for the hard work put in!C.This may be true in cases where small businesses have very limited resources (i.e. staff, budget), but this should not prevent you from doing it.D.If your company's main customer base is women in their 30s, then you probably don't want to focus on media channels that target a demographic of men in their 50s.E.The last thing you want is to be unavailable when an editor or reporter wants more information about your company or products.F.It helps an organisation and its publics adapt mutually to each other.G.In order for the media to succeed, they need information that is both useful and entertaining for their readers.。

选词填空As is known to all, the management of wages and salaries are very complex. Generally speaking, the Accounting Department is responsible for calculations of pay, while the Personnel Department is interested in discussions with the employees about pay.众所周知,管理、工资、薪金却非常复杂。

一般来说,会计部门负责计算缴纳的,而人事部门感兴趣的讨论关于报酬的员工。

If a firm wants to adopt a new wage and salary structure, it is essential that the firm should decide on a method of job evaluation and ways of measuring the performance of its employees. In order to be successful, that new pay structure will need agreement between Trade Unions and employers. In job evaluation, all of the requirements of each job are defined in a detailed job description. Each of those requirements is given a value, usually in "points", which are added together to give a total value for the job. For middle and higher management, a special method is used to evaluate managers on their knowledge of the job, their responsibility, and their ability to solve problems. Because of the difficulty in measuring management work, however, job grades for managers are often decided without reference to an evaluation system based on points.如果一家公司想采用一种新的工资结构,它是必要的,这家公司应该决定工作评估方法和途径的测量性能的员工。

The large size of the countries that entered this process most recently, China and India, has established the East and South Asian region as a new growth pole in the world economy.在过去的四十年当中,亚洲是富有经济活力的地区,区域内的不同经济体先后实现了高速增长。

中国和印度是最近跨入这个进程的国家。

由于两国幅员辽阔,东亚和南亚区域已经被建成了世界经济的一个新的增长极。

8.Sustained rapid growth and rising living standards in China and India have been accompanied by a dramatic increase in Asia's shares of world exports and raw material consumption.
