Unit 2NegotiationsLead-inTask 1Suggested AnswersTask 2Key1. 订货2. 发盘3. 还盘4. 询价5. 购货合同6. 销售确认书Reading AStarting PointTask 1Translation主要的个人及团队谈判风格在过去几十年里,商品交易会一直被公认为是最有效的营销手段之一。

但近几年情况发生了变化:出于安全和成本的考虑,不少商家都在缩减参展次数,转而将目光投向互联网。

谈判员及其谈判团队必须选择一种能最大限度服务于其谈判目标的谈判风格,在确保对手不会放弃此次谈判的前提下,从对手那儿获取最大的让步。

然而,同一种谈判风格并不适用于所有场合,而每一次谈判也并不是所有风格都适用。

谈判员必须要懂得变通,能够根据情况的变化调整谈判风格。

对自身进行真实而全面的评估,有利于谈判人员选择最适用的谈判风格。

主要的个人谈判风格包括:进攻型、顺从型、被动型、胁迫型、技巧型、财务型、顽固型、实务型及傲慢型。

以被动型为例。

在谈判桌上,被动型的谈判人员并非如他们表面所展示的那样。

这种风格往往被发展中的、合同律法尚未完善的经济体所运用。

被动型谈判员往往会使对方误以为双方已达成共识,故而使对方将一切底牌亮到谈判桌上。

而被动的一方并不亮牌,只是频频点头,使对方认为双方已达成共识。

但点头仅仅表示他们听明白了。

一旦一切底牌亮出,先前被动的一方便开始挑选对自己有利的条款,而就那些他们未能接受的条款开始展开主动积极、甚至是攻势凶猛的谈判。

顽固型是谈判员偏好的另一种风格。

某些谈判员会利用固执掩盖他们真正的动机,分散对手的注意力。

另一种方式是在某些原本被视为无谈判余地的点上进行让步。

这种做法有利于谈判员以回报为理由,从对手那边获取更多重大的让步。

主要的团队谈判风格包括:舆论统一型、牛仔型、逐个击破型和软硬兼施型。

尽管“牛仔”一词带有强烈的个人主义色彩,貌似不大适用于商务领域,在国际商务谈判中,牛仔型的谈判风格就意味着由“路线总指挥”(通常都是由首席谈判员来担任)整合反对意见,并使对方按首席谈判员指定的方向前进。

ListeningListen to the following three passages and then do the relevant exercises.A.Listen to Passage 1 and answer the questions.1.Their names are Plan Ahead, Think Fast, and Wait and See.2.Towards the same issue, the three fish made different responses: Plan Ahead said, “I'mswimming down the river tonight!” Think Fast said, “I'm sure I'll come up with a plan.” Wait and See lazily said, “I just can't think about it now!”3.When the fisherman cast his nets, Plan Ahead was long gone. But Think Fast and Wait andSee were caught! Think Fast quickly rolled his belly up and pretended to be dead and so the fisherman threw him safely back into the water. But, Wait and See ended up in the fish market.B.Listen to Passage 2 describing the myth and legend which surround St George’s Day andcomplete the sentences below.1.slayer, saviour, medieval texts and art, little information about2.valorous deeds, 12th century, rescuing a king's daughter, slaying a dragon3.popularized, knights, Middle East4.have appeared, white robes, siege, patron saint, Henry V's victory5.stake a claim, invoke, exorcise demons, associated with fertilityC.Listen to Passage 3. In this part, you will hear a lecture given by a historian. He will talkabout the 1906 San Francisco earthquake myths which persist even after 100 years. After you have heard the lecture, select the best answer from the four given choices.1.B2.C3.D4.D5.C6.D7.A8.DIII. DiscussionB.Work in groups of three or four and discuss the following questions:1.Yes, it is. In the absence of scientific information of any kind, long ago societies all over theworld devised creation myths, resurrection myths, and complex systems of supernatural beings, each with specific powers, and stories about their actions. Since people were often isolated from each other, most myths evolved independently, but the various myths are surprisingly similar, in particular creation myths.2.The first function of myth is the need: myth is a universal need. Over time, one version of amyth would become the accepted standard that was passed down to succeeding generations, first through story-telling, and then, much later, set down in written form. Inevitably myths became part of systems of religion, and were integrated into rituals and ceremonies, which included music, dancing and magic.The second function of myth is to justify an existing social system and to account for its rites and customs. One constant rule of mythology is whatever happens among the gods reflects events on earth. In this way, events such as invasions and radical social changes became incorporated into myths. Some myths, especially those from the Greco-Roman and medieval periods, also serve to illustrate moral principles, frequently through feats of heroism performed by mortals.ExercisesI.Reading Comprehension1.Yes, they are. Myths are significant stories for their culture, and their significance sometimesresonates over millennia and far beyond their original culture. Myths permeate every culture, and are borrowed, retold, and live again in fresh imaginings. They are the stories of cultural beginnings, of how people's lives and ways of thinking came to be shaped, and they still help to shape the way that many people understand themselves and the world.2.Explanatory myths pose and offer the answers to questions that puzzle the philosophers. Suchquestions cannot be answered from a purely rational framework, and the greatest philosophers have sometimes resorted to the language of myth to treat such issues. On theother hand, etiological myths explain the range of phenomena in the world by offering answers that science casts aside, as science has its own rational explanations for celestial visitors like comets and eclipses, phenomena of the weather, geological formations, and the like, but these myths still offer a truth of the imagination, if not the scientific truth that can be weighed and calculated and predicted.3.Because m yths give the p eoples of the world reasons f or ritual, and enforce certain s ocialbehaviors with promises of divine favor and real t hreats of divine punishment.Especially in tribal cultures,myths are potent means of s ocializing children into the w ays of the people.Myths l ay down the many important rules, for instance, for t he right behavior towarda nimals that are hunted, or s et up the precedent for a people's system of law.4.This is due to the cultural differences. In times before literacy was widespread, in the daysbefore the printing press, myths were told and retold countless times. Some cultures valued the precise words of their myths as sacred texts given to them by the gods, and they sought to transmit their myths in exactly the same way. Other cultures enjoyed varying the elements of the story, so that each time the myth was retold, it would be slightly different, with its listeners enjoying the variations as part of the pleasure of hearing this particular version of the traditional tale.5.Besides using words as a medium to pass on m yths from generation to generation, peoplealso use sacred artworks or carvings on rocks, special dances or music, and ritual enactment to spread myths.6.Perhaps it is because all peoples have a thirst for insights into the mysteries of life, from theorigin of consciousness to the end of the world. And myths tend to have an enduring power because they do not limit the world to statistically verifiable facts and figures, because they people the familiar world with wonder and marvel, and because they intersect humanity with the world of the animals and that of the gods. All myths stretch our ways of perceiving the world, and have the power to lift us away from our mental habits.7.He says that we need the stories of myth to make sense of the confusion of our society andour own psyches. Myths voice the truths of our unconscious selves, and the gods, goddesses, and heroes of myth embody aspects of creativity, cleverness, grief, joy, aggression, and ecstasy.The monsters of myth are really monsters of the mind; the tragedies and triumphs of myth reflect upon the ways in which we seem to be tossed to and fro psychologically by forces that are beyond our control. Human beings are myth-makers by nature, always curious, always psychologically living out the patterns of myth or being lived out by them.8.Because the printing press came into popular use, and it has helped to fix one form of astory as the correct version. Besides, radio, film, television, and video have also helped to fix more stories, which in turn discouraged the art of telling and retelling traditional stories over and over again.9.The Internet. Myth may once again flourish in chat rooms and e-mail transmissions, ona scale far beyond that of the ancients.10.Because in our life some popular figures are loved by people and sometimes they are eventreated as people’s idols all over the world. When they died, people will use different ways to commemorate them and gradually the stories told about them will have different variations and become more or less myths.II.Paraphrase1.For their own cultures, myths are important stories which are liked, enjoyed by the peopleand they have lasted for thousands of years, and what is more, they even spread through all the other foreign cultures, and gain new versions, interpretations and variations while being told. (Para. 2)2.Some myths explain the hard questions and describe the difficult phenomena which thephilosophers want to understand.(Para. 3)3.Many myths focusing on the causes and reasons of the natural phenomena have their ownunderstandings and interpretations towards these things. But science does not think they are right because it has its own reasonable explanations for the space issues, for instance, the comets, the eclipses, the change of the weather, the geological formations and so on. But in these myths there is a certain truth although the truth cannot be regarded as the scientific one, as the latter can be measured and seen in advance. (Para. 4)4.Myths give the people of all nationalities in the world the reasons for religious ceremonies,emphasize and strengthen the social manners. If they follow the practice, they can get the praise and honour from a god or God, otherwise, they will be likely punished by them. (Para.5)5.Most myth writers are unknown because they were told long before the writing came intobeing, and only few of the first story tellers could be known. (Para. 6)6.Myths are told in different forms. We can find them in the religious paintings, rock carvings,unique dances or music, and religious performance. (Para. 7)7.Certainly some myths give praise and thanks to a state or city, give religious punishment toinvasion and political control over other countries, but this is not the reason why these myths could last much longer than the state or the empire themselves for several thousand years.The reason is that in the myths there is something which is strong and super enough which makes the myths go far beyond the reason itself and the different cultures. (Para. 8)8.Myths are likely to last longer because they do not restrict themselves to the confirmed factsand numbers, because they give wonders and surprises to people in their normal life, and because they join the world of animals and the world of gods with the world of human beings.(Para. 9)9.By nature human beings love to create myths because they want to know about things, and inheart they want to experience the life style in myths or they wish the life style of myths could be part of their experience. (Para. 11)10.The sudden, large increase of great sadness people felt over the death of Princess Diana is thesame as people all over the world felt over the much earlier and unexpected death of the Norse god Baldr.

(Para. 4)4.Myths give the people of all nationalities in the world the reasons for religious ceremonies,emphasize and strengthen the social manners・ If they follow the practice, they can get the praise and honour from a god or God, otherwise, they will be likely punished by them. (Para. 5) 5.Most myth writers arc unknown because they were told long before the writing came into being,and only few of the first story tellers could be known. (Para. 6)6.Myths are told in different forms. We can find them in the religious paintings, rock carvings,unique dances or music, and religious performance・(Para・ 7)7.Certainly some myths give praise and thanks to a state or city, give religious punishment toinvasion and political control over other countries, but this is not the reason why these myths could last much longer than the state or the empire themselves for several thousand years・ The reason is that in the myths there is something which is strong and super eno ugh which makes the myths go far beyond the reason itself and the different cultures・(Para. 8)X. Myths are likely to last longer because they do not restrict themselves to the confirmed facts and numbers, because they give wonders and surprises to people in their normal life, and because they join the world of animals and the world of gods with the world of human beings. (Para. 9) 9.By nature human beings love to create myths because they want to know about things, and inheart they want to experience the life style in myths or they wish the life style of myths could be part of their experience・(Para. 11)10.The sudden, large increase of great sadness people felt over the death of Princess Diana is thesame as people all over the world felt over the much earlier and unexpected death of the Norse god Baldr.

Listening: Advices on franchises & Planning a seminar
Speaking: Discussing a schedule
Vocabulary: Types of business
Here are three different ways to start your own business. Work in pairs and think of one advantage and one disadvantage for each approach.
• Sale trader you are self-employed and set up the business on your own.
• Partnership you are self-employed and start the business with another person. You are both equally liable.

But being a franchisee is unlikely to satisfy the most entrepreneurial. It doesn’t suit people who don’t want to follow the system. William Ewbank, the head of franchise sales at Domino’s Pizza, says, ‘If you’re massively entrepreneurial this isn’t for you. It’s a discipline, a club with rules. There is some independence --- our franchisees can charge their own prices although we’re strict on menu content. It’s running a business with help.’

Our principal manufacturing facility is just out side Lille and products go from there to be a cental distribution point at Compiegne.Three sales agencies cover the various regions of France with international offices in Frankfurt,Milan and Madrid. The London offices is run by our UK subsidiary.3 What is the diffidence between the following words and phrases?1 a sales office and a subsidiary2 a warehouse and a plant3 the headquarters and a divisionGrowth Strategy4 Find a synonym in the box of each of the underlined words.Go public sell off set up go out of business expandTake over make redundant shut down1 We acquired Everforce Ltd in 2005.2 Our target is to grow the business by 15% each year.3 We created a subsidiary to sell after-sales service.4 The company will be listed on the Stock Exchange next year.5 They went bankrupt last year.6 We laid 300 employees off in June.7 After a lot of discussion we decided to closed the plant.8 We have divested our shares in the logistic company.5 What is the diffidence between the following expressions?1 Laying people off and firing them2 taking over a company and merging with it3 organic growth and non-organic growth6SAP and Oracle are the world’s leading companies in providing the software solutions for business. But their business strategies are very diffident.Read the text about SAP’S growth strategy. Choose the best sentences from the list (A-H) below the complete each gap (1-6). Do not use any letter more than once.SAP competes with ‘organic growth’How do you stay at the top of the heap in the business software game If you’re SAP, you do it through ‘organic growth’, not blockbuster acquisitions. That is the world from SAP CEO Henning Kagermann. (0) H The second-best strategy is acquisition: Kagermann said. ‘The best is the organic growth. We are not just doing the organic growth because we have no other choice.The comment is aimed squarely at rival Oracle Corp; which spent nearly $20 billion between 2004 and 2006 expanding its core database business into the SAP-dominated business applications market.(1) . ‘We are the market leader,’he said.’It’s on surprise that a distant number-two player wants to catch u.’SAP was set up in 1972 by five former IBM employees.(2) . Although it has a growing number of subsidiary, there are complements to its main activities, as Shai Agassi, president’s of the company’s Products and technology Group explain, at the same time having a direct dig at Oracle. The key diffidence between the two companies, he says, lies in Oracle’s tendency to ‘acquire an industry solution that is at the heart’. ‘when we do an acquisition, it’t at the edge of the solutions. (3) Oracle is buying half body parts and trying to make a body out of it.’In fact, Agassi expects SPA to grow faster than the rest of the industry this year- 15% to 17% in sales of new software licences-through internal innovation and small-scale acquisition.(4) .SAP used to concentrate on large business customers, but increasingly pursuing sales in the market, a strategy that began in 2000.(5) .The company excepts to finish development of the mySAP suite within the next four years, as well as its Enterprise Services Achitecture (ESA). ESA is basically a platform that will allow SAP to provide consistent business services around it, in much the same way as Microsoft has built applications around its successful operating systems.Among the company’s other goals is the development of hundreds of additional services for the mySAP suite, a so-called‘ecosystems’ of supportive technologies.‘Business in the future is not business in an enterprise,‘Kagermann says.’ It’s business in an ecosystem. (6) . We try to invite others with great ideas to innovate on the platform.’Exam Success A In fact, it expects sales to companies with fewer than 25,000make sure that the employees to account for nearly half SAP’s total softwarephrase you choose fits sales this year.grammatically and in B They recently announced they had purchased Virsa System,meaning, both with a privately held supplier of regulatory compliance software.the sentence before C You just can’t do everything yourself if you want to remainand the sentence after.

Over the past few weeks, our independent directors met with individual stockholders to get their views. We were told during these conversations that they believe Oracle's $24 wasn't adequate and did not reflect peopleSoft's real value. It become clear to us that the vast majority of our stockholders would accept $26.50 and Oracle was willing to pay for it.You should know, and I hope you would expect, that I am deeply saddened by this outcome. We have come so far under such trying circumstances over the past eighteen months, and especially the past two and a hall' months. PeopleSoft had gained significant momentum in all areas of our company, including with customers, prospects, and in the financial community.Over the next few weeks, we will be working with Oracle to ensure that you get answers to as many questions as possible that you have. I believe some of you will find interesting opportunities at Oracle, others will take your talents and work elsewhere the area that you live, while another group may have difficulties finding rewarding job experiences. It is to this last group that I offer my sincerest apologies for not figuring out a different conclusion to our 18-month saga.I know it is little comfort, but I am extraordinarily proud of what we have accomplished over the past 17一plus years, and longer in the case of JD Edwards.And I am even prouder of you for your perseverance and teamwork over the past eighteen months.I make a final request.And that is to continue our work with our heads held high.Whether it's serving customers, building products or working on internal operations, 1'eopleSoft and the people at peopleSoft have built their reputation as a company with class.Sincerely,DaveThe peoplesoft takeover1 2.1 Listen to two accounts of the takeover by a commentator and an industry analyst, both close to the takeover.

Deal and Kennedy recognised this when they proposed four different types oforganisational culture: Work-hard, play一hard culture tends to apply to companieslike software developers or (1) which need to react quickly to changing circumstances and fo work of a high tempo. Creativity often plays an important part in their work so they tend to be organised in a project-based way grouping people in teams to solve particular tasks. Tough一guy macho culture concentrates power around key personnel,but it will also devolve a lot of responsibility to the individual and emphasise decisions that affect the present rather than the future. Examples are (2) sports teams, police, the military Process culture applies to companies which have strict hierarchies and strict job roles, such as insurance companies (3) and public services.

Some styles, for instance, are more people-oriented, while others tend to focus on a project or product. The management style you select will depend on your people skills and knowledge, available resources (like time and money), desired results, and, of course, the task before you. The common management styles can be summarized into three categories.The participatory style is the first of its kind. Here, it is critical to give each employee an entire task to complete. If that’s not possible, make sure the individual knows and understands his or her part as it relates to the project or task. When people in your team know where they fit in the big picture, they’re more likely to be motivated to complete the task.Following that, we have the directing style. Sometimes a situation will call for a direct style of management. Perhaps a tight deadline looms, or the project involves numerous employees and requires a top-down management approach. Here, a manager answers five questions for the employees: What? Where? How? Why? and When? Let employees know what they need to do, how they’re going to do it, and when the questions must be finished.The last one is the teamwork style. If you want to speed up a project and choose the best process for completing that project, managing by teamwork is the way to go. When you motivatepeople to pool their knowledge, the results may exceed your expectations. Often, teams can tackle problems more quickly than what you can accomplish on your own. The give-and-take can create a process that you can repeat in other projects.1. Being an effective manager lies in knowing the right _____.A. knowledgeB. skillsC. management style2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a focus of different management styles?回答A. People.B. Customers.C. Project.3. Which of the following can’t be inferred from the passage?A. The management style is likely to change because the manager has been replaced.B. The management style is likely to change because the desired results have changed.C. The management style is likely to change because the available resources have changed.4. When people in your team know where they fit in the big picture, they are more likely to be_____ to complete the task.A. frustratedB. reluctantC. inspired5. If you want to speed up a project and choose the best process for completing that project, youcan resort to _____.A. team workB. top-down managementC. tight deadline。

Marketers focus on transporting costs and services.Storing: Like transporting, storing is an aspect of the physical distribution of products. Storing includes warehousing activities. Warehouses hold products for long periods sometimes in order to create time utility.Grading: Grading involves sorting products according to size and quality. This makes uying and seeling easier because it reduces the need for inspection and sampling.Financing: For many products, such as automobiles, fridges, and new homes, the purchase is facilitated when the marketer provides credit that makes the purchasing of the product possible.Marketing research: Through research, marketers may find out the need for new products and services. By gathering information on a regular basis, they can better plan, carry out and control marketing activities.Risk taking: It involves bearing the uncertainties that are part of the marketing process. Most marketing decisions result in either success or failure that is associated with risk.( ) 21. It is very important to understand buyers’ behavior.( ) 22.

How do you know if your office culture is helping, or huring, your employees, and as a result your bottom line? Designing a thoughtful offfice culture is so important for a new company. Here are some aspects where a leader should be careful not to make mistakes. A cohesive office culture starts at the top and is built with intention. Facebook’s founder projects a laid-bak vibe. That sets the tone for his $200 bilion company, where he visits weekly Q and A sessions from his staff, loads up the perks, and courts a young team thatclosely mirros his target market, positioing Faceboook are especially disigned for their wants and needs.Strict dress code or early start time may seem like an easy way to build professionalism in your workplace, but is there a good reason for it? Strict requirements that work in a law office may erode the work ethic at a hip tech startup. Make sure to back up your rules with reason. For example, at Culture Studio, a T-shirt design and printing company, you’d better believe there’s no place for ties. Employees are encouraged to dress down in their brand’s merhandise or their competitors’.Leadership shouldn’t abandon culture development there. Good employees tend to be goal-oriented over-achievers, so put your budget on that with team-building activities, contest, and incentives for the best. Think critically about the ideal employees for your team, what makes the tick, and how you can support them, within and outside of their role n the compan’s goals.Setting the tone for your workplace starts with each hire and at every level in the company. At digital marketing firm Mabbly, every hiring decision is made with company’s vision in mind: a creative and young team of approachable guides that help clients to understand the seemingly mysterious world of PR in this internet age.26. What is the main topic of this article? _______.A. How to write business emails and memos.B. How to design a thoughtful office culture.C. How to set rules for employees to follow.27. The example of Facebook is to show __________ .A. one should built a cohesive office culture on purposeB. how you can use Q and A sessions from your staffC. office culture must reflect your own wants and needs28. It is suggested that one should _________ in the third paragraph.A. set the tone for one’s companyB. drop strict dress code or early start timeC. back up offfice rules with reason29. What does “put your budget on that” means in the fourth paragraph?A. To withdraw the money.B. To pay more attention to it.C. To invest money and effforts.30. Mabbly is targeted in _______.A. helping clients to understand the PR worldB. attracting as many investments as possibleC. making a link between selling and buying四、写作(共20分)31题:根据写作要求,写出一篇作文。
