商务英语谈判案例分析[1]1商务英语谈判课后作业——案例分析商务英语谈判案例分析Example:Dan smith was a bissiness who works on gymnasium equipment，and it was the first meeting between Robert Liu and him.In just a few minutes of the conversation, Robert Liu felt that this big fellow with a straightforward appearance kept a mind of a cunning rabbit .Known that the guy was skilled in this way ,he took great care in the negotiation.In the first round ,their covercition was as follows:D: I'd like to get the ball rolling by talking about prices.R: Shoot.,I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.D: Y our products are very good. But I'm a little worried about the prices you're asking.R: Y ou think we about be asking for more?(laughs)D: (chuckles) That's not exactly what I had in mind. I know your research costs are high, but what I'd like is a 25% discount.R: That seems to be a little high, Mr. Smith. I don't know how we can make a profit with those numbers.D: Please, Robert, call me Dan. (pause) Well, if we promise future business――volume sales――that will slash your costs for making the Exec-U-ciser, right?R: Y es, but it's hard to see how you can place such large orders. How could you turn over so many? (pause) We'd need a guarantee of future business, not just a promise.D: We said we wanted 1000 pieces over a six-month period. What if we place orders for twelve months, with a guarantee?R: If you can guarantee that on paper, I think we can discuss this further.But even with volume sales, our coats for the Exec-U-Ciser won't go down much.D: Just what are you proposing?R: We could take a cut on the price. But 25% would slash our profit margin .We suggest a compromise――10%.D: That's a big change from 25! 10 is beyond my negotiating limit. (pause) Any other ideas?R: I don't think I can change it right now. Why don't we talk again tomorrow?D: Sure. I must talk to my office anyway. I hope we can find some common ground on this.NEXT DAYD: Robert, I've been instructed to reject the numbers you proposed; but we can try to come up with some thing else.R: I hope so, Dan. My instructions are to negotiate hard on this deal――but I'm try very hard to reach some middle ground.D: I understand. We propose a structured deal. For the first six months, we get a discount of 20%, and the next six months we get 15%.R: Dan, I can't bring those numbers back to my office――they'll turn it down flat.D: Then you'll have to think of something better, Robert.R: How about 15% the first six months, and the second six months at 12%, with a guarantee of 3000 units?D: That's a lot to sell, with very low profit margins.R: It's about the best we can do, Dan. (pause) We need to hammer something out today. If I go back empty-handed, I may be coming back to you soon to ask for a job. (smiles) D: (smiles) O.K., 17% the first six months, 14% for the second?!R: Good. Let's iron out the remaining details. When do you want to take delivery ?D: We'd like you to execute the first order by the 31st.R: Let me run through this again: the first shipment for 1500 units, to be delivered in 27 days, by the 31st.D: Right. We couldn't handle much larger shipments.R: Fine. But I'd prefer the first shipment to be 1000 units, the next 2000. The 31st is quite soon ---- I can't guarantee 1500.D: I can agree to that. Well, if there's nothing else, I think we've settled everything.R: Dan, this deal promises big returns for both sides. Let's hope it's the beginning of a long and prosperous relationship.R: We found your proposal quite interesting, Mr. Hughes. We'd like to weigh the pros and cons with you.K: Mr. Robert Liu, we've looked all over Asia for a manufacturer; your company is one of the most suitable.R: If we can settle a number of basic questions, I'm confident in saying that we are the most suitable for your needs.K: I hope so. And what might be the basic questions you have?R: First, do you intend to take a position in our company?K: No, we don't, Mr. Liu. This is just OEM.R: I see. Then, the most important thing is the size of your orders. We'll have to invest a great deal of money in the new production process.K: If you can guarantee continuing quality, we can sign a commitment for 75,000 piecesa year, for five years.R: At U.S. $1000 a piece, we'll make an average return of just 4%. That's too great a financial burden for us.K: I'll check the number later, but what do you propose?R: Here's how you can demonstrate commitment to this deal. Make it ten years, increase the unit price, and provide technology transfer.In the whole process of the negotiatin ,Robert had always been taking advantages. He was cleat that in the Asia part ,his company was the best choice of opponents,and hold a hard attitude all the way in the negotiation.In the first ,it was Dan who came up with the topic of price and gave out more informations about price negotiating by which time he lost the initiative. While Robert did more better , in the first round ,when Dan came up with the idea of big deals he insisted on the point that he need a guarantee of future business instead of a promise. In this way ,Dan put forward a Concrete plan and agree to make a guarantee to win Robert’s agree to consult about the price.Later in the second round ,they had a fierce discuss on the final price .With a problem of cost ,Robert gave out a price which is too far away from Dan’s expectation and finally they agree to have one day off for consideration.By this time,Robert had got the idea of the boss that to be hard, this day off was time for Dan’s consideration.

商务案例分析(英文) P128及p178 案例分析答案

Case analysis:1.Chapter 51). What conditions and negotiations pushed forth the merger in 2006 that werenot present in 2001?The case is a bit weak on providing details to answer this question. It might beassumed (as it is somewhat implied in the reading) that the French decided thatthey would be equal partners in the deal instead of simply acquiring the Americanfirm. Another motive could have been that the two firms realized that a mergerwas in their best interests in order to be truly global. The merger extends thereach of the new firm and provides significant cost savings.3). In some ways the statement is true. There are significant differences betweenFrench and American culture. At the same time, other French-American partnerships and mergers have been successful. One of the difficulties that the new company has experienced since the merger is resistance to lay-offs. When Alcatel-Lucent announced in early 2007 that it planned to reduce its workforce by 12,500, French unions and the French government took note. Workforce reduction in France may not be as easy as in the United States and the company has met with the European Works Council and the French government in an attempt to move ahead with its downsizing. Students can research the latest developments at the time of the case analysis.O ther culture-based problems included appointing leaders based on their nationality rather than their skill set, and the resistance to having a woman run a male-dominated company in a male-dominated industry—although that not might be a problem in many countries and across many borders.O n the positive side, Alcatel-Lucent operates in many countries, is used to international business issues, and has English as its internal language.4) There is increased low-cost competition from Chinese firms, and internet technologyis changing rapidly. In addition, demand has been weakening across the industry; “the telephone equipment industry is brutal and likely to see more attrition.”2.Sewing for MillionairesA two-hour drive from the capital of San José, Costa Rica, sits the small community of Turrialba where mostly young workers sit and sew baseballs destined for Major League Baseball teams. Rawlings Sporting Goods Company moved its baseball manufacturing operations from Haiti in 1986 when the political landscape of the country began to change.Rawlings selected the town of Turrialba due to the incentives offered to the company by the Costa Rican government. Rawlings was awarded a free-trade zone in which the company would be allowed to operate duty-free in the country. Rawlings pays no import tariffs on the goods it imports to manufacture its baseballs, and the finished product can be shipped duty-free into the United States under the Caribbean Basin Initiative. The Turrialba region was hard hit economically in the 1980s when a major highway from the capital bypassed the town. Because travelers no longer stopped in Turrialba, the Costa Rican government wanted to develop the local area through foreign investment. Rawlings found the potential workforce better educated, and more disciplined than its workers in Haiti. The country was also well known for being verypolitically stable. With few employment opportunities in the area, Rawlings had no difficulty in securing dedicated and motivated employees. Although Costa Rica is the wealthiest country in Central America, per capita income is still only about $4,200 a year. Costa Rica has a national unemployment rate of 6.7 percent. However, the rate can vary from region to region. With the completion of the new highway and declining employment opportunities in the coffee and sugarcane industries, many local residents of Turrialba were eager to find stable employment.Most Rawlings employees in Costa Rica are engaged in sewing operations. In the plant, 300 employees sit in rows of high back chairs and sew baseballs. Many employees break the boredom of the work by listening to music on their headphones. The plant employs a total of 575 workers. At one time Rawlings employed approximately 1,900 workers at the Costa Rican plant, however, employment fell when the company shifted production of its lower quality baseballs to China. The Rawlings plant takes a baseball core and wraps it in yarn. The product is then covered with cowhide and sewn by hand. Baseballs must be sewn by hand in order to achieve the quality level demanded by the Major Leagues. Each worker sews 108 perfect stitches using a long needle and thread. The balls are then inspected, cleaned, and stamped with the MLB logo and the signature of the commissioner of baseball. The balls are then packed and shipped to the port city of Limón where they are loaded onto a ship bound for Port Everglades, Florida. The baseballs are then trucked to Rawlings’ Springfield, Missouri facility, an d then to Major League teams or retail stores. Rawlings has been the exclusive supplier of baseballs to the Major Leagues since 1977. The Costa Rican facility produces approximately 2.2 million baseballs a year, with 1.8 million of those going to Major League Baseball. The remaining balls are sold to minor league and college baseball teams, or sold to the public through retail stores or the Websites of MLB and Rawlings. Although Rawlings refuses to disclose the price of the baseballs paid by MLB, the baseballs retail on the company’s Website for $12.99 per unit.Employees are paid $1.21 per hour and receive the value of 67 cents an hour in benefits, or about 30 cents per ball produced. Workers can go home early in the week if they complete their production quotas. Rawlings workers earn about 14 percent above the Costa Rican minimum wage. In addition to their wages, Rawlings employees in Costa Rica must be paid for eleven holidays, receive two weeks of paid vacation a year, and receive a Christmas bonus equal to one month’s pay. The Company must also pay into a retirement and medical plan and provide four months of maternity leave when needed.A 2004 New York Times article questioned the pay and working conditions of the Rawlings plant in Costa Rica. The article accused Rawlings and MLB of running a sweatshop in Costa Rica where workers were underpaid and worked in an unhealthy environment. Consumer advocate Ralph Nader joined in the criticism by writing a letter to Bud Selig, MLB Commissioner and the Executive Director of the MLB Player Association. In the letter Nader condemned the two men for allowing baseballs to be manufactured in what he considered to be poor conditions. Portions of the letter follow:“Your respective organizations must not ignore their ro les in this exploitation and abuse of worker rights committed under Major League Baseball and Player Association product sourcing and licensing agreements.”“American consumers and baseball fans currently have no guarantee that any licensedMajor League Baseball products are not being made under sweatshop conditions that violate basic human and worker rights standards.”Major League Baseball consumer products vice president, Howard Smith, responded to the rising complaints by stating: “I can assure you that there is no company we do business with that knowingly goes into a factory with sub-par working conditions.”Not everyone agrees with Mr. Smith.Maribel Alezondo Brenes worked at the Rawlings plant for seven years before her doctor told her to stop working there for health reasons. Carpal tunnel syndrome has been noticed in the Rawlings employees due to the repetitive nature of the work. Dr. Carlos Guerrero who worked at the Rawlings plant as company physician says that up to 90 percent of Rawlings employees may have experienced pain from the work, from minor cuts to disabling injuries. Others feel that the plant has been a good addition to the region, including Warny Gomez, who worked at the Rawlings facility for four years and made enough money to attend college and to become a teacher. With average pay for Major League Baseball players close to $2.3 million a year, some Rawlings employees feel that their compensation is unjust. Many, however, feel like Alan Cascante, an eight-year employee of the baseb all factory: “We can live on that (Rawlings wages). We never made that working in the fields.” Plant manager, Ken West agrees with Cascante, by saying “The best thing’s the pay. We’re a good place to work.”The debate over pay and working conditions of employees who supply MLB with its products appears to be growing in some quarters. People like Kenneth Miller; a self-appointed champion of sweatshop workers takes his message to the fans by camping outside ballparks. He tells potential consumers of MLB products that the baseball player bobble head doll they are about to purchase was made by a Chinese worker who works 20 hour shifts for very little pay. Miller states that he often finds indifference among consumers. Some tell him: “Why are you trying to interr upt our nice day at the ballpark?” Miller and a handful of others are pressuring MLB to take greater control over the working conditions of its suppliers, such as Rawlings.As the debate continues in the United States over the working conditions and pay of the Costa Rican employees and others, baseballs are sewn in Turrialba with pictures of Alex Rodriquez, Mike Piazza, and other baseball players hanging on the walls of the factory. Rawlings’ employees, however, are too busy sewing baseballs for the millionaire players to even notice the pictures hanging above them.Discussion Questions:1.In your opinion, is Rawlings exploiting its Costa Rican employees? Explain youranswer.2.Is it fair to compare the salary of Major League Baseball players to that of employeeswho sew baseballs?3.If you were the CEO of Rawlings Sporting Goods’ parent company (K2, Inc.) whataction would you take, if any, given the present situation?Answers:1). A case could be made for exploitation in that the wage level is not much above the minimum wage of the country. Although the skill level needed to sew baseballs is not great, it does, nevertheless, involve training and skill development, and comes with some potential healthhazards. Especially in the long run, a worker is more vulnerable to repetitive motion injury. Some may argue that because few employment opportunities exist in the area, Rawlings is able to get employees to work for a low wage and disregard their health concerns. On the other hand, Rawlings is by local standards a good employer. The pay is better than other opportunities in the area, and the work is stable. One could argue that Rawlings is simply paying what the labor market will bear, and could in fact get an even lower cost of labor by moving the operation to China.2). This is not a fair comparison and really has little relevance. Although an MLB player may beable to command a salary many, many times greater than that of the average employee in the baseball factory, the comparison must include skills and labor availability. Very few people have the skills necessary to be employed in the Major Leagues. The availability of people to sew baseballs is abundant. Although it is tempting to compare salaries, this comparison is meaningless. However, one could still make an argument for increased wages and better working conditions for the factory workers.3). The correct answer here is not to ignore the issue. The problem needs to be taken seriously,and without attention may get worse. Baseball manufacturing for the Major Leagues has high visibility and the potential for increased public scrutiny. It would be better to handle the situation before it becomes even more public. The negative public relations problem is only one of many potential problems. Although Rawlings has had an exclusive contract with MLB for some time, the contract could be terminated if MLB felt its image was being harmed by its association with Rawlings. In addition, the increased scrutiny by the media causes more visitors to the plant and the homes of workers, and increases the perception that employees of Rawlings are being exploited. Labor and quality issues may become more prevalent with this increased questioning. It certainly is possible that the issue will blow over; however, it appears that some reasonable concerns have been raised and should be addressed. Most importantly is the concern of possible long-term health issues. The current plant manager, Ken West has been quoted as saying that it is not an issue at the plant; however, it is likely that in fact it is a problem. Investigation into possible ways of minimizing this risk should be a high priority. Additionally, although Rawlings could move the operation to China and save on labor expense, the cost of labor in Costa Rica is not very high and the disruption of operations and training of new workers may not be in the best interests of the company. It could be argued that paying more than 14 percent above the minimum wage rate would go a long way to combating some of the problems Rawlings is facing in this case.。

Case StudyOf KimsoongIndex1.Background information of Kimsoong (2)2. Kimsoong customer profile (4)3.Problem (6)(1).Cutomer profiles (7)(2). The excellent office workers (7)(3).Improving skills (7)(4).Cooperation (7)4.Solutions (7)(1).Building up relationships (8)(2).Increasing customer loyalty (8)(3).Drawing up an accurate buyer profile (8)(4).Encouraging staffs (8)5.Conclusion (10)1.Background information of KimsoongKimsoong, a Korean car manufacturer, has its European headquarters near Paris. It has retail sales franchises in most European countries which not only sell cars and motor accessories but also have servicing facilities. The larger outlets also offer fast-fitting of tyres and exhausts, and deal in used cars.Over the last ten years Kimsoong, with its reputation for reliability at low prices, has build up market share at the lower end of the market. Their basic models include many”extras”which other manufacturers charge for. Kimsoong also makes large donations to environmental groups and is seen as an organization with a social conscience. Furthermore, its R&D Department is developing an “eco-car” which uses an alternative power source.Then set our focus on the whole car manufacturing market.For 2009, global vehicle sales remain in the midst of a precipitous fall-off, led by sharp declines in the mature markets of the United States, Western Europe and Japan. We project total cars produced at 51,971,328.In 2006 there were 49,886,549 passenger cars produced in the world, with an increase of 6.45% over the previous year. The increase for 2007 was more modest, and 2008 showed a decline. Analysts from various institutes had in fact pegged the year 2007 as the year which would end the 5-year cycle (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006) of recordA third of all cars in the world is produced in the European Union (see chart below).Ch ina became the world’s third-largest car market in 2006, as car sales in China soared by nearly 40% to 4.1 million units. China should become the world’s second-largest car market by 2010, as low vehicle penetration, rising incomes, greater credit availability and falling carprices lift sales past those of Japan. Furthermore, vehicle penetration in China stands at only 24 vehicles per 1,000 people, compared with 749 vehicles per 1,000 people in the mature markets of the G7.It is estimated that over 600,000,000passenger cars travel the streets and roads of the world today.In the United States alone, 247,421,120 "highway" registered vehicles were counted in 2005, of which 136,568,083 passenger cars. (Bureau of Transportation Statistics U.S. Department of Transportation)So with the high development of car manufacture, we may face many difficulties. There are so many cars produced in the world, the only thing we can do to keep our position is to become more competitive in this market, or we’ll drive out b y its high competition.2. Kimsoong customer profileCustomers are the god of our company, thus the survey of customers’ tastes and basic information is important for us to know better of our shortage, and we’ll also serve more people in the fu ture and gain more profits. The following forms are information we have got from our customers.We can see that the majority of the customers are men who are under 30, they are employed. However, women between 31 and 50 who are self-employed have potential to buy our cars.Our repeated customers only occupy 15% of the whole. People who buy our cars are mostly middle income group. This is a hint that if we want to hold on to existing customers, we must produce cars that are affordable by middle income group. But to attract new customers we should provide different kinds of cars for different income level.As the form shows, customers are not satisfied with our service. The competitor’s cars are better in performance and service. These are two main reasons that hinder us to maintain existing customers. The after-sale care is just fair. In a word, customers care more about their price, reliability, after-sales service, etc. We should improve our service and convince customers of the reliability of our cars at the same time.By collecting and analyzing customer profiles, we may conclude that we can make improvement by producing cars suit every age stage, providing reasonable price for middle income group, improving our after-sales service to hold on to existing customers. We should also create cars for women and for self-employed persons and even students. High level cars with high price will attract people of high income group. These may help gain more profits.3.ProblemFacing the intense competition, the company must remain unchanged with its reputation for reliability at low prices and has its excellent office workers and loyal customers, also the skill and cooperation are very important parts. The management should solve these problems.(1).Cutomer profilesThe company’s new strategy is to hold on to existing customers and increase customer loyalty. And the company also hope to develop a more accurate buyer profile. Customers are very important to a company. So the company should know about the customers well so that we can produce the products that fit the customers. Only in this way can our company make profits.(2). The excellent office workersThe excellent office workers in the company is also a big problem. For one hand, the younger office workers have much knowledge but a little experience; on the other hand ,the elder office workers don’t have as much knowledge as the young but they have enough experience. They are all excellent, but the company doesn’t have enough money to hire both the young and the elder ones. So the problem is that the company should choose what kind of the officers they need by using less money to make more money.(3).Improving skillsImproving skills is also a big problem to the company. Because of the ever-accelerated science and technology, having a superb skill can save cost and make profits.(4).CooperationLast but not the least, cooperation is very important to the company. But the company’s staffs are lack of the skills of grasping good communication. So if the company want to do better, they must promote social skills and competence.4.SolutionsAiming at the problems given above, we summarize some solutions to those problems:(1).Building up relationshipsTo builds up long-term customer relationships, thereby increasing profits.To establish long-term cooperation relations, the customer is one of the important fa ctors that assure our company’s long-term and stable development. In the long-term cooperation relations, the company can not only improve enterprise image, enterprise credibility still can bring stability of the interests of the enterprise income. Only in this way, can the enterprise form a security capital chain. Additionally, through this long-term cooperation, we can build trust with each other and win good enterprise image, thus our company will expand more customer groups and win more profits.(2).Increasing customer loyaltyIncreasing customer loyalty is to guarantee the premise of enterprise sales. First, our company shall keep good communication with customers. The price for the customers must be given favorable; we can also use the gifts method to increase satisfaction. Cheap and good things will receive the love of consumers, so we should be radically improve the competitiveness of our enterprise, by improving products’ performance in all aspects so as to reduce the cost. Once the cost reduced, we will not only attract more customers to buy our cars, but also enhance our profit space, that is kill two birds with one stone.(3).Drawing up an accurate buyer profileEnterprise’s accurate understanding of his client group is very important. The company should not only know the customer's age distribution, but have an understanding of what kind of car sales good. At the same time, we must pay attention to customers’ feedback, make market surveys, know what kind of car our customers really want to buy. F rom these information we will realize our company’s deficiencies, so as to further improve their product, as well as the enterprise’s all aspects of operation.(4).Encouraging staffsTo encourage staffs to be more active in building up good customer relations.It is not enough to just have a good car, a good people who can promote it is necessary. So encourage staffs to establish good relationship with customers is very important. Nowadays, the consumer not only pays attention to the quality of the product itself,but is very concern about enterprise service attitude. First, the company shall encourage the staffs to work hard to establish a good relationship with their clients. For those who have outstanding performance , the company sales should give them full praise and encouragement. For those who not work hard, and have poor work performance, our company shall take appropriate punishment. Everyone must have crisis consciousness. Second, team spirit is very important. The common saying says more people, more powerful. Only we work together can we create more profits for our company.5.ConclusionFrom the report above, we can see that good customer relationships are very important for our further development. Only when we win our customers’ loyalty, can we gain more profits and make a good reputation. Thus, improvement of all aspects, including staff training, survey of customers and potential ones, change of disciplines and politics in our company and so on is of importance. We should also appreciate other competitors strengths and learn to use them for ourselves. I believe that our company will develop well in the future and attract more customers to buy our cars.。

商务英语谈判案例集分析精品文档--------------------------精品文档，可以编辑修改，等待你的下载，管理，教育文档---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------史蒂夫的销售报价策略姜德才环境与测绘学院 07103077 (一)案情:史蒂夫是爱姆垂旅店董事会成员，但是旅店的地理位置是在不理想，董事会曾委派一个小组委员会，调查了将爱姆垂旅店从萨默维尔迁到一个安静的、半居住性的社区的可能性。

但从财务上看，搬迁是不可行的，因而搬迁的想法就被打消了。

几个月以后，一位名叫威尔逊的先生先找爱姆垂旅店的经理——彼得斯夫人。

威尔逊表示他的公司愿意买下爱姆垂旅店。

董事会委派史蒂夫去办理这项有希望的交易。

史蒂夫根据对威尔逊的商业往来所作的一些调查，认为他是一位有信誉的合法商人。

史蒂夫意识到，威尔逊想买爱姆垂旅店，可能是想在这里建造公寓。

威尔逊希望马上讨论价格问题，而是蒂夫则需要两个星期来做这些谈判准备工作。

史蒂夫初步确定旅馆的开盘价格在接下来的12天里，史蒂夫做了几件事。

首先，他想要确定爱姆垂旅店的保留价格或等够轻易成交的价格。

史蒂夫得知，位于梅德福和位于奥尔斯顿的两个地点是可以用一个合适的价格买到的。

他得知:梅德福德那块房地产可以175000美元的价格买下来，奥尔斯顿的那块可以235000美元的价格买下来。

史蒂夫断定，爱姆垂旅店搬迁到梅德福至少需要220000美元，而搬迁奥尔斯顿则至少需要275000美元。

奥尔斯顿的那个地点(需275000美元)比梅德福的那个地点(220000美元)好得多，而后者又比现在爱姆垂的这个好。

所以史蒂夫决定，他得保留价格是220000美元。

So we can believe she has a good academic background. Maybe someone think she is too young and she has less social experience. Besides, Jonna is rather ambitious, she is ready to be the director and she likes to win. In my opinion, this point is the most important to be a natural leader. Only the leader is determined, the staff can work together to improve the sales results. She is also energetic and confident; therefore the sales team can be easily motivated by her. While she has strong personality and she’s difficult to work with.I concern the team’s cooperation may be hard. In general, she may become a good sales leader.Anna Belinski: She wants to enjoy working to achieve good result in our company and to work with each other. In this way, the staff will work more effective and the staff turnover can be decreased. she is not independent: she depend too much on others. This means she is not suitable to be a leader. Besides, she is not an outgoing person, but we cannot deny her strong sales ability and she does well in computer and handling figures. So I think she’s more suitable to be a sales representative than to be a sales manager.Robert Kaminsky: He has good education and good judgment. As far as I’m concerned, he’s the most experienced sales representative sales representative of the 3. His linguistic ability quiet well and he works veryhard .While he’s not creative he cannot well motivated others and he is not good talking with people. So I think he’s also not the most suitable one to be a leader. Even though, he has strategy for developing sales, he believe the company should increase market share in along term. So his clear future can be a good advice to the sales manager.下面红色字体为赠送的个人总结模板，不需要的朋友下载后可以编辑删除xx年电气工程师个人年终总结模板根据防止人身事故和电气误操作事故专项整治工作要求，我班针对现阶段安全生产工作的特点和重点，为进一步加强落实安全工作，特制定了防止人身事故和防电气误操作事故的(两防)实施细则。

In some ways the state me nt is true ・ There are sigrdficant differe nces betwe en French and American culture・At the same time, other French-American partnerships and mergers have been successful. One of the difficulties that the new company has experienced since the merger is resistance to lay-offs ・ Whe n Alcatel-Luce nt announ ced in early 2007 that it planned to reduce its workforce by 12,500, French unions and the Fre nch go ver nment took note ・Workforce reducti on in Fra nee may not be as easy as in the United States and the company has met with the European Works Council and the French government in an attempt to move ahead with its downsizing. Students can research the latest developments at the time of the case analysis・•Other cultur based problems in eluded appoi nting leaders based on their nation ality rather than their skill set, and the resista nee to havi ng a woma n run a male-dominated company in a male-dominated industry—although that not might be a problem in many countries and across many borders・•On the positive side, Alcatel-Luce nt operates in many coun tries, is used to international business issues, and has English as its internal language.•4) There is in creased low-cost competiti on from Chinese firms, and in ter net tech no logy is cha nging rapidly. In additi on, dema nd has bee n weake ning across the in dustry; "the teleph one equipm ent in dustry is brutal and likely to see more attritio n."2.Sewing for MillionairesA two-hour drive from the capital of San Jose, Costa Rica, sits the small comm unity of Turrialba where mostly young workers sit and sew baseballs destined for Major League Baseball teams ・ Rawlings Sporting Goods Company moved its baseball manufacturing operations from Haiti in 1986 when the political landscape of the country began to change.Rawlings selected the town of Turrialba due to the incentives offered to the company by the Costa Rican government. Rawlings was awarded a free-trade zone in which the company would be allowed to operate duty-free in the country. Rawlings pays no import tariffs on the goods it imports to manufacture its baseballs, and the finished product can be shipped duty-free into the United States under the Caribbean Basin Initiative・The Turrialba region was hard hit economically in the 1980s when a major highway from the capital bypassed the towru Because travelers no Ion ger stopped in Turrialba, the Costa Rica n gover nment wan ted to develop the local area through foreign investment. Rawlings found the potential workforce better educated, and more disciplined than its workers in Haiti. The country was also well known for being very politically stab I e. With few employme nt opport un ities in the area, Rawli ngs had no difficulty in securing dedicated and motivated employees・ AlthoughCosta Rica is the wealthiest country in Central America, per capita income is still only about $4,200 a year. Costa Rica has a national unemployment rate of 6.7 percent. However, the rate can vary from region to region. With the completion of the new highway and declining employment opportunities in the coffee and sugarcane industries, many local residents of Turrialba were eager to find stable employment.Most Rawli ngs employees in Costa Rica are eng aged in sewing operati ons. In the plant，300 employees sit in rows of high back chairs and sew baseballs・Many employees break the boredom of the work by listening to music on their headphones. The plant employs a total of 575 workers. At one time Rawlings employed approximately 1,900 workers at the Costa Rican plant，however, employment fell when the company shifted production of its lower quality baseballs to China. The Rawlings plant takes a baseball core and wraps it in yarn. The product is then covered with cowhide and sewn by hand. Baseballs must be sewn by hand in order to achieve the quality level demanded by the Major Leagues. Each worker sews 108 perfect stitches using a long needle and thread・ The balls are then inspected, cleaned, and stamped with the MLB logo and the sign ature of the commissi oner of baseball ・The balls are the n packed and shipped to the port city of Limon where they are loaded onto a ship bound for Port Everglades, Florida・ The baseballs are then trucked to Rawlings" Springfield* Missouri facility, and then to Major League teams or retail stores・ Rawlings has been the exclusive supplier of baseballs to the Major Leagues since 1977. The Costa Rican facility produces approximately 2.2 million baseballs a year, with 1.8 million of those going to Major League Baseball・The remaining balls are sold to minor league and college baseball teams, or sold to the public through retail stores or the Websites of MLB and Rawlings. Although Rawlings refuses to disclose the price of the baseballs paid by MLB, the baseballs retail on the company's Website for $12.99 per unit.Employees are paid $1.21 per hour and receive the value of 67 cents an hour in bene fits, or about 30 cents per ball produced・Workers can go home early in the week if they complete their production quotas・ Rawlings workers earn about 14 percent above the Costa Rican minimum wage. In addition to their wages, Rawlings employees in Costa Rica must be paid for eleven holidays, receive two weeks of paid vacation a year, and receive a Christmas bonus equal to one month's pay. The Company must also pay into a retirement and medical plan and provide four mon ths of mater nity leave whe n ne eded.A 2004 New York Times article questioned the pay and working conditions of the Rawlings plant in Costa Rica. The article accused Rawlings and MLB of running a sweatshop in Costa Rica where workers were underpaid and worked in an unhealthy environment. Consumer advocate Ralph Nader joined in the criticism by writing a letter to Bud Selig, MLB Commissioner and the Executive Director of the MLB Player Associati on. In the letter Nader con dem ned the two men for allowing baseballs to be manufactured in what he considered to be poor conditions. Portions of the letter follow:"Your respective organizations must not ignore their roles in this exploitation and abuse of worker rights committed under Major League Baseball and Player Association product sourci ng and lice rising agreeme nts.""American consumers and baseball fans currently have no guarantee that any licensedMajor League Baseball products are not being made under sweatshop conditions that violate basic human and worker rights standards."Major League Baseball consumer products vice president, Howard Smith, responded to the rising complaints by stating: "I can assure you that there is no company we do business with that knowingly goes into a factory with sub-par working conditions." Not every one agrees with Mr. Smith.Maribel Alezondo Brenes worked at the Rawlings plant for seven years before her doctor told her to stop working there for health reasons. Carpal tunnel syndrome has been noticed in the Rawlings employees due to the repetitive nature of the work・ Dr. Carlos Guerrero who worked at the Rawlings plant as company physician says that up to 90 percent of Rawlings employees may have experieneed pain from the work, from minor cuts to disabling injuries. Others feel that the plant has been a good addition to the region, including Warny Gomez, who worked at the Rawli ngs facility for four years and made eno ugh money to attend college and to become a teacher. With average pay for Major League Baseball players close to $2.3 million a year, some Rawlings employees feel that their compensation is unjust. Many, however; feel like Alan Cascante, an eight-year employee of the baseball factory: "We can live on that (Rawlings wages). We never made that working in the fields/' Plant manageo Ken West agrees with Cascante, by saying "The best thing's the pay. We're a good place to work."The debate over pay and working conditions of employees who supply MLB with its products appears to be growing in some quarters・ People like Kenneth Miller; a self-appointed champion of sweatshop workers takes his message to the fans by camping outside ballparks・He tells potential consumers of MLB products that the baseball player bobble head doll they are about to purchase was made by a Chinese worker who works 20 hour shifts for very little pay. Miller states that he often finds indifferenee among consumers・ Some tell him: "Why are you trying to interrupt our nice day at the ballpark?" Miller and a handful of others are pressuring MLB to take greater control over the working conditions of its suppliers, such as Rawlings.As the debate continues in the United States over the working conditions and pay of the Costa Rican employees and others, baseballs are sewn in Turrialba with pictures of Alex Rodriquez, Mike Piazza, and other baseball players hanging on the walls of the factory. Rawlings' employees, however; are too busy sewing baseballs for the millionaire players to even notice the pictures hanging above them・Discussion Questions:1.In your opinion, is Rawlings exploit!ng its Costa Rican employees? Explain youran swer.2.Is it fair to compare the salary of Major League Baseball players to that of employeeswho sew baseballs?3.If you were the CEO of Rawlings Sporti ng Goods' pare nt compa ny (K2, Inc.) what actionwould you take,讦any, given the present situation?An swers:1). A case could be made for exploitation in that the wage level is not much above the minimum wage of the country. Although the skill level needed to sew baseballs is not great, it does, nevertheless, involve training and skill development, and comes with some potential health hazards. Especially in the long run, a worker is more vulnerable to repetitive motion injury. Some may argue that because few employment opportunities exist in the area, Rawlings is able to get employees to work for a low wage and disregard their health concerns. On the other hand, Rawlings is by local standards a good employer. The pay is better than other opportunities in the area, and the work is stab I e. One could argue that Rawli ngs is simply payi ng what the labor market will bear; and could in fact get an even lower cost of labor by moving the operation to China.2). This is not a fair comparis on and really has little releva nee. Although an MLB player may beable to comma nd a salary many, many times greater than that of the average employee in the baseball factory, the comparis on must in elude skills and labor availability. Very few people have the skills necessary to be employed in the Major Leagues・The availability of people to sew baseballs is abundant. Although it is tempting to compare salaries, this comparis on is mea nin gless ・However; one could still make an argume nt for in creased wages and better working conditions for the factory workers・3). The correct answer here is not to ignore the issue・ The problem needs to be taken seriously,and without attention may get worse・Baseball manufacturing for the Major Leagues has high visibility and the pote ntial for in creased public scrutiny. It would be better to handle the situation before it becomes even more public. The negative public relations problem is only one of many pote ntial problems ・ Although Rawli ngs has had an exclusive con tract with MLB for some time, the con tract could be termi nated if MLB felt its image was being harmed by its associatio n with Rawli ngs. In additi on, the in creased scrutiny by the media causes more visitors to the plant and the homes of workers, and in creases the perceptio n that employees of Rawlings are being exploited・ Labor and quality issues may become more prevalent with this in creased questi oning.It certai nly is possible that the issue will blow over; however, it appears that some reas on able con cer ns have bee n raised and should be addressed ・Most importantly is the concern of possible Iong-term health issues・The current plant managec Ken West has been quoted as saying that it is not an issue at the plant; however; it is likely that in fact it is a problem .In vestigatio n into possible ways of minimizing this risk should be a high priority. Additionail% although Rawlings could move the operation to China and save on labor expense, the cost of labor in Costa Rica is not very high and the disruption of operations and training of new workers may not be in the best interests of the company. It could be argued that paying more than 14 percent above the minimum wage rate would go a long way to combating some of the problems Rawlings is facing in this case・。

商务案例(英文)

The failure of Background was founded by two Swedish entrepreneurs: Kajsa Leander, a fashion model, and Ernst Malmsten. Before , they had created the Swedish Internet bookstore in 1997 and sold it the following year. was backed by Paris-based Europ@web, the private investment company of LVMH Chairman Bernard Arnault; 21 Investments of Italy, the private investment company of the Benetton family; Bain Capital Inc. of Boston; and the New York investment firm Goldman Sachs Co. first announced that it would launch by the end of May 1999; however, due to software problems, the web site actually launched in November 1999.The company failed to meet its sales targets by January 2000. It fired 100 staff members and reduced its product prices by up to 40%. In May 2000, Rob Shepherd quit as chief technology officer, the third high-level personnel loss in a month. Finally, On May 17,2000, after failed attempts at selling the site to other retailers and trying to get more funding from the shareholders , announced that it was shutting down.The rights to the name were acquired by for 250,000 British pounds. In February 2001, recast itself as a fashion and style portal that provided fashion advice and reviews. It also provided links to small boutiques where customers could go to buy the products. The new site was also less data-intensive making downloading easier.An Analysis of Firm Strategy believed in the big-splash theory of firm strategy. The firm wanted to be a global fashion super retailer. The company hoped to have a major presence in multiple prominent fashion markets-at one point, it had offices in London, New York, Munich, Stockholm, Paris and Amsterdam. It aimed to leverage the power of the Internet by serving brands that were local powerhouses or global superstars to the consumers in these markets. And it intended to provide access to consumers in different multiple languages and transact business in multiple currencies.The vision for the firm can be summarized in one word: grandiose. Although this strategy can be faulted on many counts, envisioning a global reach is not in itself a mistake. It is, however, problematic to hope to achieve that all at once. Because th e company’s web site was launched simultaneously in several countries, the firm had to ensure that it had an effective presence in all of those countries. As a result, its resources were spread thin. The company may have been better served by starting small and spreading out over time.The company also failed to consider those companied with strong brand names that had already established strong presences in the markets that they wished to attack. Many of these companied had a long history in these markets due to catalog or bricks-and-mortar operations. Consequently, they had an advantage in resources, as well as in brand name. furthermore chose a product category, fashion goods, that is hard to sell in the internet. Individuals like to touch and feel the fabric, try in a dress, and experience the product firsthand before buying it. In spite of these challenges, companies such as Land’s End are successfullyselling apparel online today by using systems such as virtual dressing rooms. Although has a lot of functionality on its web site, it did not adequately focus in the functionality that could best help its consumers.The global vision for the company led to several execution problems. An ex-employee described a few.Multiple CurrenciesIf you want to trade globally, you can’t only offer US dollars. As a result, you need to figure out a way to handle multiple currencies ranging from dollars to pounds to liras to francs, to deutschmarks, to kroners, etc…. If you are planning on doing this we ll, you have to peg your prices to a particular value. However, you have to realize that prices are not the same in every country. In the end, Boo built a system that allowed us to set a different price for each country or set a single price for all countries.Multiple LanguagesGrammatical rules can hardly be standardized for several languages. The way we worked around it at Boo was to create a system where the copy was translated by hand by people who were fluent in the language. Unfortunately, another problem cropped up: British English and American English are EXTREMEL Y different. On the one hand, to be accepted by markets in different countries, the content has to be in different languages. Moreover, the language and product selection must be sensitive to the local cultures in order to truly appeal. may have underestimated the cost of achieving this on the Web.On-the-Fly Tax CalculationIn the US, it’s relatively easy to deal with taxation. Where it gets tricky is when your servers are located in one area and your offices are in another. Technically, that is two locations, In the case of Boo, it got worse. For example, a sale to France was taxed three ways. Why? Quite simple because the company has offices in Paris, its servers were located in London, UK and its distribution center was in Cologne, Germany. However, the interesting part of the problem was were making a sale but not delivering a good in the UK, delivering a good but not making a sale in Germany, and making a sale and delivering a good in France.Integration with Multiple Fulfillment PartnersThe main issue here was dealing with different file formats for DeutschePost and UPS. What we ended up doing was create an EDI link to those guys and create a set of filters for each of them. A simple answer to a simple problem but this little answer cost about ISO man hours of work as the content had to be migrated from the old setup to the new one. Because the original database was originally set up wrong, we had to totally reorganize the schema and refit the content into it.Problems with the Web Site had spectacular problems with its web site when it first launched. The site was designed with excessive graphics, movies, audio, and video. Every product on the web site had a 3-D image. Photographing the products to create these images cost up to half a million dollars a month. An analyst for Forrester Research rightly points out that this was the wrong strategy forweb site design at the time because “99% of European and 98% of US homes lacked the high-bandwidth access needed to fully benefit from the site.” The company rolled out a site for low-bandwidth users in February 2000, but the target market had already been alienated. Moreover, was built using Macromedia’s Flas h program, which at the point of the launch, was loaded on the computers of only a small proportion of the population.The initial response to the web site was awful An article in the Wall Street Journal reported:On Day 1, according to Boo, only 50% of consumers who typed in the address actually made it onto the site. There were a variety of reasons: The site didn’t run on some combinations of browser software and hardware, particularly Macintoshes. The abundance of graphics and animation made it extremely slow, even for customers with high-speed connections. Many of those with low-bandwidth connections found it impossible to access the site, or simple gave up, Boo says. And, worst of all, those who did manage to make it onto the site were unable to purchase anything because of a glitch in the checkout process that unexpectedly returned customers to the opening screen just before the transaction was completed. The Web usability guru Jakob Nielsen wrote this scathing review in December 1999: takes itself too seriously. Instead of making it easy to shop, the site insists on getting in your face with a clumsy interface. It’s as if the site is more intent on making you notice the design than on selling products. Boo should be congratulated, though, on running a site that supports 18 countries equally well in terms of both language and shipping.Screen PollutionBoo insists on launching several of its own windows. This site is simply slow and unpleasant. All product information is squeezed into a tiny window, with only about one square inch allocated to the product description. Since most products require more text than will fit in this hole, Boo requires the user to use a set of non-standard scroll widgets to expose the rest of the text, 20 words at a time. Getting to a product requires precise manipulation of hierarchical menus followed by pointing to minuscule icons and horizontal scrolling. Not nice.Miss Boo, the Shopping AssistantShe is prettier than Microsoft’s Bob but just as annoying. Web sites do need personality, but in the form of real humans with real opinions and real advice. I prefer the interactive content experiments in the site’s magazine section, such as a feature on the similarities between stone-age living and some current fashion products.What’s a Boobag?It’s a shopping cart, actually, and unlike other carts it contains miniature photos of your products. It is also possible to drape the items on a mannequin to see how they look as an outfit, though too much dragging and low-level interface manipulation is required.In general, became a victim of Internet time. Businesses move faster in Internet time; e-tailing system takes much longer to develop. In this case, the web site was not fully designed when it was launched, which meant changes had to be made in public, reducing consumerconfidence.The Badly Designed Advertising CampaignAnother problem faced by was that it overspent on advertising early on. It created a great deal of consumer interest, but then the web site launch was delayed by about five months, during which time, consumers finally got fed up.Anticipating a May 1999 launch, announced a two-year $65 million advertising budget after hiring the London ad agency BMP DDB. The agency created a campaign showing geeky kids playing sports in cool clothes that would be available from .According to Marina Galanti, the second marketing director, when the launch got delayed, the ad campaign was modified to make it “more about mood and attitude and less about sports.” The launch was rescheduled for July and teaser ads began running in magazines. However, teaser campaigns work only when the firm knows exactly when the final product is going to be available. In this case, the tease campaign backfired because the site did not launch until November 1999. It also placed the spotlight on the company while it was still tinkering with the web site.The company believed in going on an all-out blitz rather than building the business gradually. As de scribed in a Wall Street Journal article, ”the company launched press, television, cinema and outdoor campaigns in six countries and expanded to nine others, spending about $25 million-much of it still owed to the agencies that created and executed the ads.”Poor Management Quality has also been criticized for poor management quality. The firm had few management controls and many of the personnel were consultants with little relevant business experience. The company is also said to have been too enamored with the fashion industry: senior managers were rewarded with five-star hotels and first-class airline tickets to attend fashion shows in cities such as Paris and Milan. Early employees were also rewarded with Palm Pilots and other perks. set out to do too many things and ended up doing none of them. The site was designed to create an immersive online retailing experience, but most users did not have broadband connectivity to benefit from it. The ad campaign built traffic to the site when it was not up. The management quality was poor and in the end, Boo’s failure did not particularly surprise anyone who had worked for or with the company. Future attempts at building a global online apparel retailer will surely learn from the experiences of Boo.Discussion Questions1、Translated into Chinese失败的一、背景是由两名瑞典企业家建立的：Kajsa利安德，一位时装模特，和Ernst马尔姆斯滕。
