A.Time management：the importance of planning work time effectively.

Time management is an important skill that helps you use your time to accomplish what you want. It is of great importance to your personal and career success for the following resons: firstly, time is limited and scarce. Time is a very special resource because you cannot store it for later use. Everyone gets the exact same amount of time each and every day. So, managing your time wisely

means enhancement of your efficiency and you will get more work done, more values created and more contributions made, thus making your life fuller and more meaningful. Secondly, you need time to get what you want out of life. You need time to do almost anything worthwhile in life. Waiting for more free time is a losing game that almost never results in getting time for what you want. You need to learn how to make time for the things that are important to you. Even if you can only afford to give a small amount of time each week to your goals, you’d be surprised at how much progress you can make.

B.Project development: how to ensure inter-departmental co-operation on new projects Bertrand Russell once wrote, “The only thing that will redeem mankind is cooperation.”In the world of project management, the degree of success is directly linked to achieving cooperation between departments. And the key to successful cooperation is ongoing, wide-ranging communication. And the following two points should be considered.

First, the managers of other departments have their own priorities and can be expected to have problems with your schedule, especially when it affects their workload and timing. It is wise to follow the basic rules of communication to defuse any potential problems that might arise in the process of project management. Second, keep in touch while the project is under way. By working together, you can the department manager will be able to resolve any conflicts that arise and to avoid the kinds of breakdowns that lead to serious conflicts, both work-related and personal.

C.Purchasing: how to evaluate and select new project.

Before starting on a new project, it is of paramount importance to make a comprehensive evaluation about the project and to make sure it is the best selection. The overall purpose of evaluation is to investigate and report on the advantages and disadvantages of the project and to facilitate decision-making. There are a number of topics which any comprehensive evaluation should cover：

First, to know the theme to which the projects relates. Evaluation needs to look at what has been achieved in terms of real improvements in these theme areas.

Second, value for money should be top priority. Emphasis should be put on benefit rather that simply shifting resources around and displacing effort from one activity to another. Focusing on effectiveness and returns is assessed to ensure public accountability and the effective use of resources.

A．You know, our company is now operating well, but we have potential problems. The major one is that we do not have a great customer base. In fact, the majority of our income comes from only one major client. That is something we should not ignore.

B．N o wonder our Finance Director is not at ease. We all understand that to rely on a single client for the company’s income can be of great potential risk. This may lead to several serious consequences. For one thing, company will be backed into corner when unexpected situation arises, for example, the bankruptcy of your client or any possible problem it might encounter.

For another, other clients’ strengths might bee possible overlooked and the possible impetus they give to company’s development fails to be considered.

A.You are right. We have to gain more clients. Having more clients means more profits and

greater success. That is a fundamental element of any healthy, growing business. We should
