Between the two extremes of management practice and management science are many general who have contributed to the study of management. ( )6.

To meet these challenges, managers must possess certain skills that disable them to fulfill specific roles. ( )12. As the company grows, management can refer to the mission statement as a means of evaluating whether proposed actions are in line with the company stated purpose and values. ( )13. A starting point is to write a mission statement that defines how the organization exists and what it seeks to accomplish. ( )14.

( )35. During the maturity period, competition forces are at their strongest, and many competitors are forced to exit the industry. ( )36. Management entails planning, organizing, coordinating, leading, and controlling resource to efficiently reach these goals. ( )37.

First-line managers set operational objectives, which define the results necessary to achieve both the tactic objectives and the strategic goals. ( )40. The field of organizational behavior is concerned with the influence that only formal grouping has on the individuals. ( )Ⅲ.Translate the following into Chinese.1. Learning about management is important for two reasons. First, our society depends on specialized institutions and organizations to provide the goods and services we desire. These organizations are guided and directed by the decisions of one or more individuals designated as “managers”. Second, individuals not trained as managers often find themselves in managerial positions. Many individuals presently being trained to be teachers, accountants, musicians, salespersons, artists, physicians, or lawyers will one day earn their livings as managers.2. All five competitive forces just discussed above are affected by the passage of time; therefore, their strength varies as the industry passes from its introductory stage to its growth stage and on to maturity, followed by decline. Competitive forces are apt to be weakest during the fast-growth period, thus, there are substantial opportunities for gaining market share. During the shakeout period, competition forces are at their strongest, and many competitors are forced to exit the industry. During the industry maturity, competitions typically slackens, but only if the industry leader holds a strong relative position.3.The grouping that characterizes organizations is of interest to the field of organizational behavior for several reasons. First, much of the work ( both intellectual and physical ) done in organizations is quite literally performed by groups, whether they are short-term task forces or formal work groups shown on an organizational chart. We are therefore interested in predicting and explaining the functioning of these groups and controlling them so that they function effectively. You will recall that the two-person news writing/news reading team was severely disrupted by Russ’s resignation. Secondly, everyone is aware that informal grouping occurs in all organizations. That is, friendships develop and informal alliances are formed to accomplish required work: Such grouping is not prescribed by the organization and not shown on the chart, but it can have an important impact upon goal achievement. Consequently, we are interested in how such groups’ form and what their exact impact is. Finally, the field of organizational behavior is concerned with the influence that both formal and informal grouping has on the individuals who enter organizations with their own particular needs and values.4. In addition to setting goals and assuming various roles, managers also employ skills that fall into three basic categories: interpersonal, technical, and conceptual skills. As managers rise through the hierarchy, they may need to strengthen their abilities in one or more of these skills; fortunately, managerial skills can usually be learned.Ⅳ.Translate the following into English.1.在这种情况下,为了使整个体系达到其目的,折中的做法是必要的。

This information usually includes your name, date and palace of birth, address, phone number, education, work experience, interests, hobbies and so forth. In this way you let others know who you are. When you do the self-introduction, you sometime concentrate only on one event, person, place, or experience in order to show a certain aspect of your life. Look at the following example of self-introduction.Good morning, everyone! This is our first lesson and I‘d like to introduce myself to you. My name is David Hume. Just call me David, please. I am form United States, and I wasborn into a teacher family. My father was a primary school art teacher. I was only boy among seven children in my family. That was enough to make me important, but my father loved me especially, because he knew his son was going to an artist. When I was small, I used to spend hours by myself drawing lovely small animals. If my mother sent me out to play in the square, I would go on drawing in the dust under the trees.

A younger person is usually introduced to an older one; a man is introduced to a woman; a guest to the host or hostess, and a person go a group. When making an introduction, we should mention the name of the person we respect first. When introducing a man and a woman, we should mention the woman‘s name first(unless the man is very old of very famous). When introducing two men of two women, we should put the older person‘s name first. If both are the same age, it is not important which the name comes first.People nod, smile and usually shake hands when they introduced to each other. In a business situation, men always shake hands with one another. But women do not often shake hands when they meet for the first time.Here are some different meeting and greeting customs around the world:In Chile, people usually shake hands when they meet for the first time. When two women first meet, they sometime kiss each other on the cheek. Women also greet both male and female friend with a kiss. Chilean men give their friends warm hugs or sometime kiss women on the cheek.Finns greet each other with a firm handshake. Hugs and kiss are only for close friends and family.People in the United States shake hands when they are first introduced. Friends and family numbers often hug and kiss on the cheek when they meet each other. In these situation, menkiss women but not other men.British people rarely keep hold of your hands for very long then they shake hands. But in many other countries in the world it is not polite to let go off hand to soon. Unfortunately, this makes many people think the British people are not friendly.New wordsGreet [ɡri:t]vt.问候,向…致意Custom ['kʌstəm]n.习惯,风俗Follow['fɔləu] vt.遵从;跟随Social ['səuʃəl]a.社交的;社会的;爱交际的Situation[,sitju'eiʃən]n.场合;形势occasionHost [həust] n.主人,主持人vt.主办;担任…的主持Guest [ɡest] n.来客,vt款待vi作客Hostess ['həʊstɪs]n.女主人;女房东Mention['menʃən]vt.&n.提及,说起Motion['məuʃən]vt.(向…)打手势, 示意n.(物体的)运动;手势Respect[ris'pekt] vt.&n敬重,尊敬Unless[ʌn'les] conj.除非….Nod[nɔd] v.&n.点头Shake[ʃeik] v.&n.shook,shaken 摇动,摇Different ['difərənt]a.不同的,有区别的Cheek[tʃi:k] n.脸颊,脸蛋儿Hug[hʌɡ] v &n.hugged, hugged 拥抱Firm[fə:m] a.有力的;牢固的;坚决的Handshake['hænd,ʃeɪk]n.握手Rarely['rɛəli]ad.很少地,罕有的Polite[pə'lait]a.有礼貌的;客气的Unfortunately[,ʌn'fɔ:tʃənitli] ad.不幸地Phrases and expressionssocial situation社交场合occasion[ə'keiʒən]n.shake hands (with)与…握手one another互相each otheraround the world在世界范围内,在世界各地keep hold of握住for long长久地;长期地(多用于否定及疑问句)let go off 松开,放开Proper namesChile['tʃili]n.智利Chilean['tʃiliən]n.智利人,智利的Finn [fin]n.芬兰人Others wordsmanners['mænə]n.方式, 方法;态度;礼貌, 规矩;(人或物的)种类opinion[ə'pinjən]n.观点attitude['ætitju:d]n.态度, 看法;姿态, 姿势affair [ə'fɛə]n.发生的事情; 大事; 事件;事务, 事态event[i'vent]n.事件, 大事;运动项目privacy ['praivəsi]n.隐私extra['ekstrə]adj.额外的interrupt[,ɪntə'rʌpt]vt. & vi.打断keep hold ofinjure['indʒə]vt.受外伤suitable['sju:təbl]adj.适宜的necessary['nesisəri]adj.需要n.translate [træns'leit]vt. & vi.转换Lesson 2-2 Meeting and making friends on campusWhat con you do when you find yourself in the school without enough friends? You can try to meet and make friends on campus! It is not difficult task. There are several methods to master, and you may find it easy when you try them out.You can start by looking around at people in your classes, dorms and dining halls. You will see them very often. An easy way to start a conversation is to talk about everyone is interested in. For example, before of after classes, ask, ―did you get the assignment for next week?‖ or ― what did you think of the professor‘s theory of …?‖ This helps you start a conversation. Be sure to introduce yourself before the end of the conversation.If your campus has other dining places, such as a café of a small restaurant, them there will be more opportunitie s for meeting people. After you‘ve introduced yourself and talked about class, it‘s the perfect time to ask the other person to join you for a cup of coffee of dinner in one of these places. Once you are at the table, if should be easier to talk about where you‘re form, what your major is , what you think of the class, whether it is easy or hard, etc. It will be much easier to suggest meeting again in other places.There are many other places where you will see people over and over again. Join a club,interest group of sports team. This means joining a community, and it is also a good way to meet people. You can get a job writing for the school newspaper. Read the newspaper of go online to look for social events.Attend concerts and cultural events. All these help one meet people with common interests in a relaxed setting.New wordsCampus ['kæmpəs]n..n校园task[tɑ:sk] n.任务;工作method['meθəd] n.方法master['mɑ:stə]vt.撑握,精通n.主人;男教师; 院长;大师adj.精通的dorm[dɔ:m] n. dormitory['dɔ:mitri] n.宿舍;寝室conversation [,kɔnvə'seiʃən]n会话assignment [ə'sainmənt]n分配的..作业;任务theory['θiəri] n理论;学说café n 咖啡馆,小餐馆opportunity[,ɔpə'tju:niti] n良机,机会perfect['pə:fikt] a.完美的,无瑕的,级好的[pə'fekt]vt.使…完美; 改善once[wʌns] conj.一旦Major ['meidʒə]n a.专业Subject ['sʌbdʒikt]n.项目,科目[səb'dʒekt]vt.使服从, 征服, 制伏Suggest [sə'dʒest]vt建议Community[kə'mju:niti] n.团体;社区Event [i'vent]n.大事;事件Cultural['kʌltʃərəl]a.文化的;与文化有关的Common ['kɔmən]a.共同的,公共的;常见的__普遍的;一般的Relaxed [rɪ'lækst]a.轻松的;不拘束的Setting ['setiŋ]n环境,背景backgroundPhrases and expressionsMake friends with sb.与.交友on campus在校园里try out 试验look around/round寻找;到外看be sure to do sth. 一定/务必做某事,口语Such as =for example例如,像-用于举例join sb.

In the past, parents, their children, and their children‘s children often lived together in a big family. Such a big family is called an extended family. In some places, the type of family even included relative by marriage, who are called in-law s, as well a s the sons and daughter of brothers and sisters, in other words, nephews and niece s.Nowaday s in many countries, the extended family is no longer very common. Instead, only two generation s, parents and children, live together. This is called a nuclear family, There are some reasons for that.First of all, young are becoming independent financially. Therefore, they are unwilling to depend on their parents. Secondly, these days the youth want to have their own privacy. Thirdly, children are supposed to become more independent and responsible, and develop a closer relationship with their parents.However, in the United States, the number of the nuclear family is also decreasing because of the influence s of some factor s such as divorce. As a result , there is an increasing number of single-parent familie s, or families with only a mother or only a father. In addition another kind of family is appear ing, which is called a blend ed family. This is a family in which two persons remarry. These two persons both once got divorced. But have children. In the new family, they make both groups of children live together.There is another type of family with double income but no kids, namely DINK. DINK family chooses not to have children for many different reasons. One of the reasons is that more and more young couples don‘t want to take too many responsibility. They just want more freedom for themselves.New wordsType [taip]n.类型v打字Extend[iks'tend]v. 扩充,延伸;延长Spread [spred]v.伸开spray[sprei]vt. & vi.喷n.浪花, 飞沫;喷雾Expand [iks'pænd]v 扩大,发展Relative['relətiv] n.亲戚Marriage ['mæridʒ]n.婚姻,结婚in-law ['ɪn,lɔ:]n.姻亲,亲家nephew['nefju:] n.侄子,外甥niece[ni:s]n.侄女,外甥女nowadays['nauədeiz]ad.现今,现在instead[in'sted] ad.取而代之,代替generation[,dʒenə'reiʃən] n.一代人;世代nuclear['nju:kliə]a.核心的;原子核的reason['ri:zən] n.原因,理由independent[,ɪndi'pendənt] a.独立的;不受约束的financially[faɪˈnænʃəlɪ] ad.经济上,财政上therefore ['ðɛəfɔ:]ad.因此unwilling [ʌn'wɪlɪŋ]a.不愿意的,勉强的depend[di'pend]vi.依靠,依赖Privacy ['praivəsi]n.独处而不受干扰的善,不受干扰的自由;个人权利,隐私Suppose[sə'pəuz]vt.认定;料想;假定conj.如果Responsible[ri'spɔnsəbl]a.有责任的,负责任的Develop [di'veləp]v.(使)发展,开发;生长Relationship[ri'leiʃənʃip] n.关系,关联However[hau'evə] ad.然而,但是Decrease [di:'kri:s]v减少['di: kri:s] n.减少,减少之量Influence['influəns]n.影响,作用vt影响Factor['fæktə] n.因素Divorce [di'vɔ:s]n.与…离婚Increase['inkri:s] n 增加[in'kri:s]v增大Reduce[ri'dju:s] v 减,减少Appear[ə'piə] v.出现;看来link v.显得, 似乎Blend[blend]vt.混合n.混合物Remarry [,ri:'mærɪ]v.再婚Double ['dʌbl] v.双重的,两倍的Double a. v.使加倍Income ['inkəm]n.收入,所得Namely ['neimli]ad.即,也就是Couple ['kʌpl]n.夫妻;一对,一双Responsibility [ri,spɔnsə'biliti]n.责任Freedom ['fri:dəm] n.自由,自主Phrases and expressionstake place 发生extended family近亲在内的大家庭as well as 和,以及in other words换言之no longer 不再nuclear family核心家庭first of all 顺序的首先be unwilling to do sth.不乐意做某事depend on 依赖,依靠be supposed to do sth.应该,被期望或要求做某事because of因为,由于as a result 结果single-parent family单亲家庭in addition 此外,另外take responsibility (for)为…负责任because of +nbecause 从句Lesson 3-2 Who can bridge the generation gap?—Grandparents!As grandparents, we are include in our family‘s daily lives. However, we are the ones that can bridge that generation gap in the family. Even though it is not an easy role for us to play, it is an important one, for we are more experienced in life, and more open-minded to what‘s happening in our families.Today‘s grandchildren, for example 12 and 13 years olds, are like 17 and 18 year olds. Wow, that is pretty terrible—and yet it can be pretty wonderful if they are guide d the correct way. It is important for us to be at hand and keep those lines of communication open.In my particular family, five kids and six grandchildren, my life definitely seems to be an ongoing soap opera. As a senior, I have learned to become more flexible and have become an important part in taking care of my grandchildren.My 18-year-old granddaughter had a huge difficultly in communicating with her mother and father. Thank goodness I keep an open door. I call ed a family meeting with her mother and did. Together, we work ed things out. It definitely helped that my children and grandchildren realize d that I would always be fare to both sides.As senior, we should not play any serious role. B ut remember, ―parenting‖ never stops. Believe me , I still get up, get out, and have a life. But we can never give up what we have worked so hard to protect–―the family.‖New wordsBridge[bridʒ]vt架起…桥梁Daily['deili]a.日常的Gap[ɡæp]n.差距;缺口Role[rəul]n.角色;作用Experienced[ɪk'spɪəri:ənst]adj.有经验的,老练的open-minded['əʊpən'maɪndɪd]adj无偏见的;愿意接受新思想的yet[jet]conj.然而,但是adv.还, 尚, 仍然;已经;甚至, 更guide[ɡaid]vt.引导;指导n.指导者;向导, 导游communication[kə,mju:ni'keiʃən]n.交流;通讯,联络particular[pə'tikjulə]adj特定地;特殊地definitely['definitli]adv.肯定地;明确地ongoing['ɔn,gəʊɪŋ]adj.正在进行的soap[səup]n.肥皂opera['ɔpərə]n.歌剧,剧senior['si:njə]adj.n年长的;长辈a.较年长的,(地位,级别)较高的flexible['fleksəbl]adj.灵活的,易弯曲的huge[hju:dʒ]ad巨大的,宠大的jcommunicate[kə'mju:nikeit]vt. & vi.沟通,交流cause[kɔ:z]n.原因,起因vt.成为…的原因; 导致;引起call[kɔ:l]vt. & vi.宣布召开,召集realize['riəlaiz]vt.认识到,体会到;实现fair[fɛə]adj.公平的,公正的serious['siəriəs]adj.严肃的;认真的,严重的;重大的protect[prə'tekt]vt.保护,保卫Phrases and expressionseven thought/if即使,尽管play a … role 扮演…角色at hand接近的,在身边line of communication沟通渠道soap opera肥皂剧,连续剧communicate with sb.与…沟通thank goodness谢天谢地work out弄懂某事,找出答案;理解solve[sɔlv]vt.处理be fair to 对…公平get up起床get out外出起动(参观,会友等)give up放弃even thought/if即使,尽管have difficulty (in ) doing sthOthers wordsfocus['fəukəs]vt. & vi.(使)集中, (使)聚集;调整(镜头, 眼睛)焦点[焦距]以便看清n.焦点, 焦距; 中心adjectives['ædʒiktiv]n.形容词adverb['ædvə:b]n.副词deaf[def]adj.聋的;不愿听的, 装聋的leafleather['leðə]n.皮, 皮革brilliant['briljənt]adj.闪光的, 明亮的;光辉的, 辉煌的steel[sti:l]n.钢, 钢铁vt.使坚强, 使坚定silk[silk]n.丝, 绸bright[brait]adj.光亮的, 闪光发光的;鲜艳/亮的;生气勃勃的, 愉快的; 幸福的;聪明的, 伶俐的;前途光明的brick[brik]n.砖, 砖块vt.用砖砌,用砖堵住Spanish-stylereject[ri'dʒekt]vt.拒绝, 谢绝; 驳回;舍弃, 排斥, 退掉['ri:dʒekt]n.被拒货品, 不合格产品probably['prɔbəbli]adv.大概; 或许; 可能gradually[ˈgrædjʊəlɪ] adv.1.逐步地,渐渐地,渐进的reunion[,ri:'ju:niən]n.团聚,团圆cousin['kʌzn]n.堂/表兄弟/姊妹as a matter of fact实际上,不瞒你说You bet.俗—当然/真的/的确Hawaii[hə'wɑ:i:]n.夏威夷Single['siŋɡl]adj.单身Divorced[dɪˈvɔ:st] adj.离婚Separated['sepərit]adj.分居['sepəreit]vt. & vi.分开, 隔离Widowed[ˈwɪdəʊd]adj寡居Unit 4 Home and hometownLesson 4-1 HomeBill and Barri Hamilton didn‘t imagine that they would make their home at an old school house someday. One day they drove to Martindale. It is a small town located in south-west of the U.S.A. They came for a German car. Bill has a business of buying and selling old cars. Then they found the Martindale schoolhouse and fell in love with it. It was for sale and they wanted to buy it. Some local people were worried that their loved schoolhouse would be a lot of different, but the Hamiltons said they felt like its doorkeeper s.At last they bought it. They make the old schoolhouse into their comfortable home. They built a garden and a swimming pool behind the house. They built two kitchen s, three bathroom, four toilet s, four drawing-room s and eight bedroom s inside it. They even had a dancing-hall in the central part of the house and they repair ed the playground. Most importantly, the schoolhouse looks almost the same as it was before.Small-town life, especially living in an old school, might seem an unusual choice for the Hamiltons. So they stared their new country life. Barri Hamilton says she and her husband have made many friends in Martindale. She didn‘t make so many friends in the city though she lived there for 30 years.Buying the school was a ―sensitive thing‖ for some resident s, because so many had been educate d there. ―It‘s important that Bill and I explain to everybody that we feel like thedoorkeepers of this school,‖ Barri says. ―When we are gone, we‘ll leave it in better shape that when we found it.‖New wordsImagine[i'mædʒin]vt.料想;设想suppose[sə'pəuz]vt.料想; 猜想; 以为;假定, 假设conj.如果Locate[ləu'keit]vt. & vi.使坐落于;将(某物)设置在某处Business['biznis]n.买卖,商业,贸易Schoolhouse['sku:l,haʊs]n.校舍Sale[seil]n.出售,销售Local['ləukəl]adj.本地的,地方的Worried[ˈwʌrɪd] adj.担心的,忧虑的Beloved[bi'lʌvd]adj.深受的,亲爱的Doorkeeper['dɔ:,ki:pə]n.看门人Comfortable['kʌmfətəbl]adj.舒适的,舒坦的Kitchen['kitʃin]n.厨房Toilet['tɔilit]n.卫生间,厕所drawing-room客厅,起居室['drɔ:ɪŋ,ru:m]n.绘画, 制图;图画, 图样bedroom['bed,ru:m]n.卧室,房间dancing-hall舞厅central['sentrəl]adj.中间的,中央的repair[ri'pɛə]vt维修,修理n.修理,修理playground['pleiɡraund]n.操场,运动场importantly[im'pɔ:təntli]ad重要的是;自以为了不起地unusual[,ʌn'ju:ʒuəl]adj.不平常的,与众不同的choice[tʃɔis]adj.n选择sensitive['sensitiv]adj.敏感的;灵敏的resident['rezidənt]n.居民adj.educate['edju:keit]vt. & vi教育explain[iks'plein]vt. & vi.解释;说明explanation n.gone[gɔ:n, gɔn]adj.离开的;逝去的shape[ʃeip]n.状态;形状,样子Phrases and expressionsbe located in位于,坐落在fall in love (with sb.

It‘s walled city and it was built by the Vikings in 853, and was later extended by the Anglo Normans.During the 18th century, the industry of the city developed, most famously its glass industry. Today the port in Waterford is still one of Ireland‘s busiest ports.Waterford is located between Dublin and Cork. One can take a day trip to both of these cities. Get ting to Waterford is easy. You can go there by bus of by train. There is a small airport located just outside the city but there are only a few flight s. A day‘s trip around Waterfod City is very possible on food though buses can be taken.Waterford castle is a beautiful place to visit. It is a huge building on its own island. However, if you can‘t afford to stay for a night, It is a wonderful thing to have afternoon tea there.The new library of Waterford City is a good place for reading of just for relaxing. Also, you may surf the Internet for free there. The City Square is beside it. If you are in Ireland around the beginning of August, make sure you go to Sproi in Waterford. There is one ofIreland‘s greatest street festival s in Sproi, and over 40.000 people attend it . All weekend long there are street parades, concert s and entertainment s.

外文资料商管031 梅文飞 0364027Competing in the global economy: the innovation challengeRt. Hon. Tony Blair, Lord Sainsbury. Innovation Report.2003.12: 17-31,52-65. Chapter 1 The innovation challengeSummaryGlobal competition is increasing as a result of trade liberalization, technological change and reductions in transport and communication costs. UK based businesses will find it increasingly difficult to compete on low costs alone in labour intensive industries exposed to international competition. The challenge for businesses is to compete on the basis of unique value.We have defined innovation as the successful exploitation of new ideas and it is central to meeting this challenge. It involves investments in new products, processes or services and in new ways of doing business. Measures to develop the skills and creativity of the workforce are often an essential prerequisite. The speed of technological change and market responses make the challenge to innovate urgent and continuous.Overall UK innovation performance appears to be, at best, average compared to our major competitors. This is reflected in the large productivity gap that exists between the UK and its major competitors. Innovation performance accounts for a significant proportion of this gap. On the whole, UK firms face a challenge: how to raise their rate of innovation?Innovation is a complex process so understanding why the UK has a relatively modest innovation performance is not straightforward. We drew on an extensive review of the international innovation literature and consulted with a group of leading experts in the field.As a result we have identified seven critical success factors for innovation performance. They are:Sources of new technological knowledge;Capacity to absorb and exploit new knowledge;Access to finance;Competition and entrepreneurship;Customers and suppliers;The Regulatory environment;Networks and collaboration.They help us to identify current strengths and weaknesses of the UK innovation system. A highly abridged summary is provided in this chapter but the more detailedanalysis is contained in an accompanying economic report.Our vision is of the UK as a key knowledge hub in the global economy. A country that will have maintained its outstanding tradition in the advance of scientific and technological knowledge while developing a similar level of performance in turning knowledge into exciting and novel products and services.The Report complements the Lambert Review of University-Business links as well as the cross-Government Skills Strategy. It makes proposals to strengthen UK performance against all the success factors building upon initiatives that have gone before.What is innovation?1.1. Innovation in this Report is defined as the successful exploitation of new ideas. Ideas may be entirely new to the market or involve the application of existing ideas that are new to the innovating organization or often a combination of both. Innovation involves the creation of new designs, concepts and ways of doing things, their commercial exploitation, and subsequent diffusion through the rest of the economy and society. It is this last–diffusion–phase from which the bulk of the economic benefits flow. Most innovations are incremental–a succession of individually modest improvements to products or services over their life cycle. But a few will be dramatic, creating entirely new industries or markets.1.2. Innovation involves experimentation and risk taking. Some attempts to innovate will fail, but across the economy the successes outweigh the failures. And the failures themselves generate new knowledge, which if evaluated correctly, can improve the chances for future success. The risk of failure justifies the potentially high returns from successes, which provide the incentive to innovate in the first place. Successful innovation-led companies have a number of common characteristics (Box 1.1). Characteristics of innovation-led companies:A worldwide focus, often requiring early expansion overseas;A balanced growth strategy, based on organic growth and targeted acquisitions to enter new markets or acquire critical expertise;A balanced investment strategy;Above average investment in market led research and development;A focus on what really matters to the customer;An innovation culture with corporate leadership that expects growth through development of new products and services.Why is it important now?1.3. Innovation is vital to most businesses operating in the UK if they are to survive and grow in the long term. But there are five reasons why innovation matters more for businesses and the people who work in them today.Markets around the world are being liberalised. This brings opportunities from expanding trade. And firms can locate all or part of the production process or service wherever the economic advantage is greatest. But UK-based firms also face competition from firms in countries with relatively low labour costs and where education and skills levels are high. For example, hourly labour costs in South Korea are just over half UK levels, but the proportion of graduates in the working agepopulation is almost identical.Long-term reductions in the costs of transportation and communication have also opened up new markets and faster global communications mean that consumers learn about new fashions, ideas and products faster than ever before. The cost of sea freight has fallen by two-thirds since 1920, air transport by five-sixths since 1930. Transatlantic telephone calls are now almost free on the Internet.Science and Technology are providing new opportunities for businesses to compete based on exploiting knowledge, skills and creativity to produce more valuable goods and services. Industries are being created, such as Biotechnology, and traditional ones are being transformed (e.g. growth of technical textiles). Because they rely on knowledge and skills, they provide areas where high wage, developed economies can maintain a competitive advantage over low wage, unskilled ones.Services, accounting for over 70% of the economy, are becoming more technology intensive. Technology is being used to improve business processes and customer service in sectors such as retail, hotels and banking, and to develop new products combining creative strengths with the latest technology, such as computer games. Many high technology manufacturers now make more money from services than they do from manufacturing.Increasing environmental concerns are acting as a stimulus to innovation. Demand for environmental improvements– for example, reducing CO2 emissions and volumes of waste – may require changes in the economy and to the way we live. To deliver these changes the market has to generate innovative uses of technology, new ways of doing business and new consumer attitudes.1.4.The speed of changing technology and the extent to which new products and services can change market conditions mean that the challenge to innovate is urgent and continuous. UK-based businesses will find it increasingly difficult to compete on low costs alone in labour intensive industries exposed to international competition. The challenge for businesses is to compete on the basis of unique value.1.5. The UK is not alone in facing this challenge. European leaders agreed at Lisbon in spring 2000 to make the EU “the most dynamic, knowledge-driven economy in the world by 2010”. Innovation is integral to achieving this vision.How is the UK doing?1.6.We have consulted a distinguished panel of leading academic experts in drawing up the analysis underpinning this Report. This analysis has been published separately. The main points concerning the UK’s innovation performance are set out below.The latest international comparisons of data on business R&D show the UK well behind the US and roughly equal to the EU average. However, it is encouraging that after a steady period of decline from 1.5% of GDP in 1981 to 1.16% in 1997, we have seen a move in the right direction, to 1.24% in 2002.Adjusting for size of economy, UK firms’ patenting activity at patent offices in Europe, Japan and the US lies well behind firms in Japan, Germany and the US and is just below the European average.Although systematic data is lacking, it appears that the UK lags behind the US and major Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) economiesin the take- up of best practice improvements such as lean manufacturing.Data from surveys, which rely on broader measures of innovation, paint a similar picture with UK performance weaker than its international peers.1.7.The analysis suggests that UK business faces a challenge: how to raise its rate of innovation?How did we try to explain the causes of UK performance?1.8. Innovation is a complex process so understanding why the UK has a relatively modest innovation performance is not straightforward. To help us do this we drew on an extensive review of the international innovation literature, aided by a panel of experts. We also drew heavily on analysis by the AIM Management Research Forum and the OECD.As a result we have identified seven critical success factors for innovation performance. They help us to identify current strengths and weaknesses of the UK innovation system and to develop proposals to improve its performance.Success factors for UK innovation performance1.9.What follows is a highly abridged version of the supporting analysis, summarizing the UK’s performance against the seven factors:Sources of new technological knowledge play an important role in shaping innovation systems. Science-based technologies are increasing in importance. New products and services tend to embody a wider range of technologies, increasing the complexity faced by individual firms. UK-based firms make extensive use of customers and suppliers as knowledge sources. The UK Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) base is highly productive and the UK has world-class design expertise.The capacity to absorb and exploit knowledge defines a firm’s ability to turn knowledge into new products, processes or services. Fundamentally it is people who create knowledge, manage businesses and innovate. Poor skills amongst managers and the workforce more generally have hindered performance. The culture within UK-owned firms appears to place less emphasis on creativity.All investments in innovation need access to finance. Relatively lower levels of innovation spend are probably more due to a lack of incentives and capacity than a shortage of funds, although some financing gaps exist.Competition provides a stimulus to innovation and helps determine the intensity of competition and the ability of firms to spot opportunities and manage risks. Customers and suppliers put pressure on firms to deliver better quality goods and services and provide opportunities for innovation. Many UK-based firms compete in global markets and the UK is an attractive market for innovative firms from abroad. The regulatory environment affects the possibilities and incentive structures for innovation. OECD comparisons show the UK to be relatively lightly regulated, although there are continuing business concerns about the impact of new regulations. And networks and collaboration are important means of accessing knowledge. Businesses are increasingly looking outside their sectors for opportunities to collaborate.Figure 1.4How Government policies influence innovationthrough which Government – at various levels – influences business innovation.1.11.The Government has already laid the foundations of an innovation-driven economy in areas such as macro-economic policy, fiscal policy, competition policy, trade policy and education and skills.1.12. Since 1997 we have produced three White Papers, “Our competitive future–Building a knowledge driven economy”(1998), “Excellence and Opportunity–a Science and Innovation Policy for the 21st Century” (2000) and “Opportunity for All in a World of Change–Enterprise, Skills and Innovation” (2001). In these we set in motion a series of micro-economic measures to stimulate innovation, such as increased investment in the science base, incentives to encourage research institutions and universities to commercialize their research, and measures to encourage more small businesses to start up and innovate.1.13. Policies and programmers affecting innovation are determined at a variety of levels. In some cases, the role of the UK Government is to influence developments on a European or global scale.Chapter 3 Technology innovationSummaryDeveloped countries around the world have recognized that success in the future will come from businesses increasing the added value from their products, processes and services. Government action to encourage businesses to develop and implement new products and services has become a high priority. Given this, the UK Government needs to harness its resources more effectively in promoting technological innovation. The need to improve the take-up of new technologies3.1.The end of the 20th century witnessed a wave of scientific discovery and technology innovation in a range of areas that have only just begun to change the waywe work and interact with our physical, natural and social environments. For example, the developments of the Internet and mobile communications have transformed people’s access to information.3.2.The pace of change is often quicker than anticipated and the impacts are fundamental. The growth of completely new industries such as biotechnology, software and the digital content industry in the UK, as well as the decline of more traditional sectors, bear very real testimony to this. For example during the 10 year period 1992-2002 the number of biotechnology businesses in the UK has increased from some 165 to 425, and turnover has increased by over six fold (from £0.5 billion to £3.2 billion).3.3.The UK has a strong indigenous knowledge source available to business through the Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) base and we do have a strong presence in some science-based technologies such as pharmaceuticals, telecommunications and aerospace.Promoting knowledge transfer3.4. The SET base makes a major contribution to knowledge transfer through the publication of research results and the supply of highly skilled people capable of transferring and adapting codified and tacit knowledge. However, there is an additional role that Government can play in providing the opportunities and incentives for translating quality UK science into commercially successful applications.3.5.To simplify arrangements for universities, Higher Education Institutions(HEIF)is to be consolidated into a permanent third stream of knowledge transfer funding to universities, alongside that for teaching and research. More money will be put into the second round of HEIF. The aim is to simplify the funding landscape and ensure that HEIs in England have greater discretion and the flexibility to develop their capacity in a way that best suits their needs and the needs of business.In future, support for technological innovation will be available through five products:Collaborative R&D support is available to meet some of the costs and risks associated with research and technology development, by facilitating collaboration between different businesses and between business and the SET base across the UK. Knowledge Transfer Networks will encourage the diffusion of new and existing technology.Grant for R&D from June 2003 this has been available for individuals and SMEs, and it enables them to meet some of the costs of investing in technology innovation. Grant for Investigating an Innovative Idea – this is a pilot, offering help to SMEs in England to look objectively at their ideas for innovative products, services or processes and to draw up an action plan to take the idea forward.Knowledge Transfer Partnerships provide direct support for knowledge transfer by enabling universities and others in the SET base across the UK to work with businesses using recently qualified people, like graduates, to undertake specific knowledge transfer projects in firms of all sizes.Technology IntermediariesTo complement the above actions, we will work more closely with technologyintermediaries, whose role in technology development and transfer has been undervalued in recent years in both policy development and implementation. Technology intermediaries also have an important role to play at regional level.The principal members of the technology intermediaries’ community are the Research and Technology Organizations. They are a private sector community of effective knowledge-transfer companies. Their objective is knowledge transfer to industry to fill knowledge gaps and to stimulate innovation leading to higher value added products and services.译文商管031 梅文飞 0364027在全球经济中竞争:创新挑战第一章创新挑战综述全球的竞争使贸易自由化的结果增加,技术变革以及运输和通讯费用减少。

工商管理英语第二版 译文U1-U6
Unit1 A 工商管理概论工商管理特性英语单词business有许多定义。
每个定义相互关联,但又各自不同。
与我们的讨论有关的定义主要有两个。
第一个定义是指作为一种生存手段而从事的任何活动。
第二个定义将工商管理视为人们生活中的重要的活动。
对于美国而言,工商管理既是一种谋生手段,同时又是人们生活的一个中心。
个人和团体既为了经济盈利又为了个人身份的确定和认可而从事工商活动。
工商管理的双重中心意味着其在为个人或人群提供生计的同时又给每个人带来一种身份感。
这两个概念相互交织,几乎不可能将它们区分开来。
然而,基于我们的目的,我们将关注作为谋生手段的工商,把工商看成是将一个或更多人的资产拿来,以商品和服务的形式使其他的人可以得到这些资产以此获得利润的过程。
我们将尽力确定并解释这一定义的不同要素。
工商管理是一个过程。
工商管理是一系列行为、变化,或引起一个结果的功能。
许多人试图将这个过程分为很多过程,其目的是为了更好地理解和管理这些过程(子过程),这样他们就能够影响并控制结果。
现在,我们只需要了解它是一个由各个过程构成的过程,我们既可以单独地理解它们,又可以将它们当作一个整体来理解。
在我们看来,工商活动是一个给为了维持生计而参与其中的那些人返还利润的过程。
工商活动主要是为了获得利润而生产商品和服务。
利润的本质会因所从事的工商的性质不同而不同。
尽管工商对利润的定义略有不同,但是他们为了继续从事工商都必须获得利润。
这就是工商的实质,因为这是维持生计的唯一途径。
根据这个的观点,工商必须维持一定的利润来养活企业和那些依赖工商维持生计的个人。
每个良好的过程都有控制,包括内部控制和外部控制。
对于企业来说,内部控制通过管理得到实现,而外部控制通常通过各个管理机构得以实现。
要使过程得到有效运作,也需要从子过程乃至控制结构提供的反馈。
这个反馈越有效,控制就会越好,这就为企业的成功运作做好了准备。
企业也是系统。
每个系统有投入、过程、产出和结果。
