新编剑桥商务英语高级第三版 第Module 12
Module 1212.1 Understanding business culture(page121)John So, Jim, what did you know about doing business in China before you made your first trip there?Jim Very little, actually. These days there’s a lot of literature and advice out there. I had heard about the principle of Guanxi before I went to China, but I hadn’t really realised how important a part of business culture it was.John What is Guanxi, exactly?Jim It refers to relationships or connections with people that are built on trust and have been developed over a long time. These relationships are based on shared experience-people operating in a similar field-and often also on the exchange of gifts or favours.John But if you’re an outsider, that must make life very difficult. You don’t have a shared background as such...Jim That’s right. You don’t have those networks and for that reason you’re going to have to be patient, because it takes time to develop them. That’s why so many foreign businesses look for a Chinese partner who has good contacts already, like an agent or business partner.John And is there any other way to shortcut this process?Jim Not really. Gift-giving is helpful - presenting a small gift at the end of a meeting, for example. Don’t expect immediate returns, though, and don’t give anything big. The Chinese government has clamped down hard on bribery in recent years and won’t tolerate it. What you have to do is build friendships.John And how would you go about that? Any particular tips?Jim There’s no particular secret: just get to know your partners, exchange small talk, invite them out for meals - Chinese people love eating out. They’ll certainly invite you out to a restaurant at some point. The main thing is just to be yourself...with an extra bit of formality and politeness. Don’t do what some people do and try to be Chinese.John And are there any things you shouldn’t talk about - any taboos?Jim Umm... I think the important thing is to show genuine interest in learning aboutChina and its customs, and to be respectful of the country and the government. There are also a few different habits. Sometime during the meal there will be toasts - make sure that you make one to the most senior member of the group there.John Any other tips?Jim well, they appreciate the best - established brands with a quality reputation - having had limited access to western products in the past. Everyday practicalities? Er... People dress soberly for business, they shake hands on ually, though occasionally they’ll just nod at you. They love to exchange business cards, so bring lots of those. And when you receive one make sure you study it carefully - it’s very rude just to put it straight in your pocket.John What about their behaviour? The Chinese have a reputation for being difficult to read.Jim I don’t really find that. Perhaps they use facial expressions or gestures less freely than westerners do. They do seem to take their time agreeing to things. There are two reasons for that: first of all, they generally operate within big hierarchies and the decision may need to come from high up; secondly, they dislike saying ‘no’ directly. If they start to make a series of small objections to something, it generally means they’re trying to say they’re not interested. But above all, as i said before, don’t worry about the time all this takes - you’re going to need that anyway to learn how Chinese companies operate and all the governance and tax laws, the regulations around joint ventures and so on...12.2 Small talk: short responses(page122)Sarah Hi, Joachim, sorry to be a little late.Joachim No problem. Good to see you again. How was your trip?Sarah It was fine. No delays , just the usual traffic from the airport.Joachim And did you find our offices easily?Sarah Yes, thank you. Your directions were very clear.Joachim OK. So, can I get you a coffee before we start?Sarah Yes. I’d love one. White, one sugar, please.Joachim And, how are you fixed for time?Sarah I’ve got a couple of hours now. I hope that’s enough.Joachim Sorry, do you mind if I just take this call?Sarah No, of course not. Go ahead...Joachim Sorry about that - the boss. So, are you expecting it to be a good year? Sarah Well, I hope so. Last year was pretty flat, as you know.Joachim Well, that’s really what I’d like to talk about today - how we can ramp things up a bit. Can I be of any help with the marketing side of things?Sarah That’s kind of you, but we should be able to cope. It’s just a question of programming it in. We’re planning a campaign meeting next week...Joachim ...so I think that’s been a useful start to our discussions. I will programme another meeting for two weeks’ time. But I think you have to go now. Would you like to go for a meal this evening?Sarah I’d love to, but I’m afraid I have to be back in London by six.Joachim No worries. Would you like a lift back to the station?Sarah That would be really nice, but I don’t want to put you out.Joachim It’s no problem. I’m going that way anyway.。
《商务英语阅读》第12单元译文
第12单元名牌产品与品牌管理预览越来越多的企业认识到企业最宝贵的资产之一就是与企业的产品和服务相联系的品牌名称。
尽管认识到这一点，但是人们很少重视管理教育中有关品牌的科目，尤其是MBA的课程。
作为营销专家以及品牌资产联合会的主席，Larry Light 观察到问题的严重性，认为“MBA代表的应该是品牌资产的杀手”。
为了强调这个问题，作为一本高级MBA层次的教材，本书强调了个人和组织在市场营销活动中遇到的重要的品牌决策方面的问题。
本书的基本目标是：（1）增强对品牌战略策划、实施以及评估等重要问题的理解。
（2）为做出更好的品牌决策，提供适当的理论、模型和其他工具。
为了提高管理中与品牌有关的决策能力，我们尤其强调对顾客或消费者心理原则的理解。
为了这个目的，在本单元中我们界定了品牌的概念，追溯品牌的历史渊源。
我们从消费者和企业的角度考虑品牌的作用，以及品牌对消费者和企业的重要性。
我们还将讨论可以被冠以品牌的东西、不可以冠以品牌的东西，并且识别一些著名品牌。
品牌是什么？为了让人们从众多的货物中识别制造商的货物，产品被冠以品牌的历史已有数百年之久。
实际上，“品牌”这个词来源于古斯堪的那维亚语，意思就是“打上烙印”。
至今牲畜的主人们仍然把牲畜打上烙印便于识别。
根据美国营销协会的定义，品牌是一个名称、术语、符号、设计或以上的组合，其目的就是便于人们从众多卖者中识别某一卖者的产品和服务，并使其区别于同类产品。
所以，根据这个定义，建立品牌的关键是选择名称、标识、符号、包装设计或者那些利于辨识产品服务的特征。
我们把那些不同的品牌要素，也就是便于识别产品和服务的要素，叫做品牌要素。
品牌要素可以有很多形式。
例如，有不同的品牌命名方式。
在有些情况下，所有产品的品牌名称都以公司的名称命名（如通用和惠普）。
有些生产商为新产品起不同的品牌名称，这些名称与公司的名称毫无关系（如联合利华和宝洁公司）。
零售商也可以根据商店名称或者其他某些因素，创建自己的品牌（纽约Macy’s百货公司拥有自己的品牌，如Christopher Hayes、INC以及Club Room等品牌）。
商业道德(Business Ethics)
I am not solely responsible to myself or to my family, but also to others, to the community. I cannot just be moral at home and not in the workplace.
But the business must abide by business morality to make money.
Lack of business morality will bring great harm for example，damage the interests of consumer.
Moral reasoning is the reasoning process by which human behaviors, policies, institutions are judged to be in accordance with or in violation of moral standards.
“Morality” refers to the standards that an individual or group has about what is right and wrong conduct, good and evil, and the values embedded, fostered or pursued in the act.
Morality is not just a question of avoiding evil (individual) but of pro-actively doing good (social).
Justice is not just avoiding doing harm to the other person but of responding to the objective demands of the situation, to the call of a higher value.

商务英语阅读_Unit 12产品与质量管理
Text Production Management
Production management refers to the management of a firm’s production activities. Production management is crucial to both manufacturing and service organizations. As an organization grows, it can capitalize on a number of factors that accompany their larger size. Each of these factors is associated with the experience curve, the reduction in per-unit costs that occurs as an organization gains experience producing a product or service.
The experience curve is based on the notion that unit costs in most industries decline with experience and is based on three underlying concepts: learning, economies of scale, and capital-labor substitution possibilities. Learning refers to the idea that employees become more efficient when they perform the same task many times. An increase in volume fuels this process, also increasing expertise. This reasoning can be approved in all jobs—line and staff, managerial and non-managerial—at all levels in the organization. Economies of scale—the reductions in perunit costs as volume increases—can be great for business such as automobile manufacturers or Internet service providers.

background
A more responsibly managed firm will face fewer business risks than its less virtuous competitors: it will be more likely to avoid consumer boycotts, be better able to obtain capital at a lower cost, and be in a better position to attract and retain committed employees and loyal customers. Correspondingly, firms that are unable or unwilling to recognize this new competitive reality will find themselves disadvantaged in the marketplace.
