Critical Path became a public company two years later, and Hayden took the opportunity to step down from his executive position in order to work on personal projects. At the same time, he agreed to stay with the company as Chairman, but the business was put in the hands of new managers by its investors. With sector-leading products and an expanding market, the company seemed to be on the up and up. However, by early 2001, it was in trouble. Shares that had been worth $26 in 1999, when they were first sold, were down to a mere 24 cents.Called in by a panicking board, Hayden found himself back in charge as Executive Chairman, trying desperately to rescue what he could. The 1,100 staff had lost confidence in the company and did not know what was going to happen to them. And, as Hayden discovered, the management team was incompetent. Those guys didn't understand the product or the sector,' says Hayden. The heads of department didn't communicate and they didn't lead.' But what was worse, Critical Path had lost the goodwill of its investors.Hayden knew that bringing the figures under control would be a vital step in the company's turnaround. 'You've got to sortout the finances. For me, that meant getting back the goodwill of the investors. That was tough, after what had happened. But although they were angry with the company, they didn't have bad feelings about me. I told them that I knew I could get the company on its feet again.' He was authorised to make whatever changes were required, and his first act was to find people within the company he could trust and put them in charge.The next thing Hayden had to tackle was morale. 'Everyone left the office at five on the dot - they couldn't get away quickly enough. To get the buzz back and win the staff over, I had to prove my own commitment and put in the extra hours with them.' In return, it was assumed that nobody would ask for overtime pay until the company was on its feet again. Contrary to normal practice, Hayden was reluctant to lay people off, and apart from not replacing people as they reached retirement age, he left the workforce largely unchanged, although he did identify key people throughout the company who were given more responsibility.But, as Hayden insists, before a company reaches such a crisis, there are warning signs that any financial director or accountant should take note of. 'A business that has an unrealistic pricing policy or has to negotiate extended credit with its suppliers is in trouble,' is his message. 'Or if you often have to apply for your overdraft limit to be raised or have trouble paying tax on time, something needs to be done.'By 2003, the company was healthy again, with reasonably stable finances and a modest but steady share price of $1.60. 'One thing that helped save us was that our technology worked,' says Hayden. 'With 20 million email accounts, we never lost a single major client because the product kept on working.' Withideas for a fresh venture demanding his attention elsewhere, Hayden has moved on. 'It was time to go,' he says. 'I'm not a turnaround specialist. I prefer start-ups.'13 What event coincided with Critical Path becoming a public company?A Hayden became the Executive Director of Critical Path.B Investors hired a replacement team to run Critical Path.C Critical Path launched a successful new product on the market.D Critical Path was floated on the Stock Exchange at 24 cents per share.14 Which of the following situations did Hayden face at Critical Path in 2001?A The employees were worried about job security.B The investors were calling for changes to the company structure.C The management was misleading the staff about the company's position.D The board of directors did not realise the scale of the company's problems.15 One reason Hayden was able to turn Critical Path around was thatA he managed to find new investors.B the financial situation was not as bad as he had thought.C he had built up a good relationship with the management team.D he was given the support that he needed.16 What was Hayden's policy regarding the staff of Critical Path?A He paid overtime to everybody who worked outside officehours.B He reduced the workforce by operating an early retirement scheme.C He gave key staff the opportunity to help him set goals for the company.D He restored motivation by showing willingness to work alongside staff.17 According to Hayden, what could indicate that a business is in trouble?A problems keeping accounts up to dateB suppliers refusing to offer new credit termsC a frequent need to increase the amount borrowedD difficulties in getting payment from customers on time18 Hayden left Critical Path after he had rescued the company becauseA he wanted to develop the technology for a new internet service.B he wanted to concentrate on founding a new enterprise.C he had been offered a job with a major internet company.D he decided to go into partnership with a major client.2020年中级bec真题解析这篇文章名为《Critical Path》，字面上理解是关键路径，但在此文中是指一个公司的名字。

BEC商务英语（中级）阅读模拟试卷147(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. PART ONE 2. PART TWO 3. PART THREE 4. PART FOUR 5. PART FIVEPART ONELook at the statements below and the article about outsourcing risks on the opposite page. Which section(A.B.C or D)does each statement(1-7)refer to? For each statement(1-7), mark one letter(A,B,C or D)on your Answer Sheet. You will need to use some of these letters more than once.Example:0 Outsourcing is risky for a company’s profile. Outsourcing Risks on CompaniesA One of the main risks of outsourcing a task is that it will not be done to the specifications required. By having an outside company perform a task, a company runs the risk that the outside party will not have the same skill set and experience as in-house employees. A drop in quality can result in a drop in sales, as well as harm the company’s reputation among consumers.B Another risk for a company that outsources to foreign countries is bad press. Some companies, particularly large companies, face criticism for hiring workers from other countries, generally at cheaper wages, instead of using American employees. If a company comes under significant attack for outsourcing, then its reputation may suffer, leading to a loss of business. However, smaller companies that use only modest outsourcing stand a low risk of this occurring.C Not all foreign countries have the same economic and political stability enjoyed by the United States. Many countries, particularly those that are not democratic, may change laws that affect the business climate or experience political events—revolutions, wars, sudden changes in leadership—that make it difficult or expensive for outsourcers to complete a task. Therefore, companies that outsource to unstable countries run the risk of an interruption in business.D Many times, outsourcing involves sharing proprietary information with an outside party. This raises the risk that this information will be shared with another party that will try to capitalise on it. For example, the design of a piece of software may be shared by the outsourcing company with a competitor. In some countries, intellectual property laws are not strong.

(0)The Psychology of ManagementIf overflowing in-trays frighten you or solving problems makes you sweat, there's a new range of business books called The Management Guides that you can turn to with confidence. (0)__G__. In addition, they're written in accessible language by Kathy Harman, a chartered occupational psychologist who heads her own London-based consultancy business. She says that the guides are intended for professionals working in small British companies, where thinking about management can be a low priority because of endless lists of other responsibilities.After this initial message to the reader, the following pages contain sections on every aspect of business, from managing your own time and selecting employees to planning ahead for the future.One of the reasons Harman wrote these guides was that she knows not every business is able to invest in training. The difficulty, especially for small businesses, is that, "People are professionals first and foremost and somehowthey are just expected to pick up management skills as they go along." And becoming one, she recognizes, is especially difficult if you're not used to communicating effectively or delegating work.She adds, "It's all very well managing areas that you have control over and you can do all the planning you feel is necessary, but there are always going to be other people out there who do the most unexpected things,"having good, friendly relationships with all their staff and business contacts. "The important thing inmanagement," says Harman, "is the human element."Her advice to managers everywhere is to maintain professionalism at all times. "If you've ever managed anyone," she says, "you'll know that you're not allowed to be fed up because when the staff come to you, they don't want to know about your problems, they want their problems solved."Harman feels confident about making such an analysis because of her years of training as an occupationalpsychologist. "What you find there is that more senior managers have had some kind of psychological training, while in this country most managers get their management psychology second-hand by listening to other managers."The overall message from Harman is a simple one, and it's got nothing to do with technology or databases.the right staff at all levels, you really haven't got a business. People are your principal resource."A And when they do, managers need a variety of strategies to fall back on.B This, of course, is unlikely to be easy, because being an expert in your field doesn't necessarily make you a good manager.C The question that most of them ask is ,"Can we actually afford a management training courses?"D Although this area of study is becoming more acceptable in the business world, Britain is a long way behind the rest of Europe.E It's about creating a working environment that promotes the well-being of everyone, from the post room to the board room.F This is illustrated at the beginning of each guide with the quote, "This book is for those who would like to manage better but are too busy to begin."G They're short, pocket-sized, and very reasonably priced at '2.99 each.Part ThreeQuestions 13-18Read the article below about effective communication and the question on the opposite page.For each question 13-18, mark one letter (A, B, C, or D) on your Answer Sheet for the answer you choose.The importance of good communicationEffective communication is essential for all organizations. It links the activities of the various parts of the organization and ensures that everyone is working toward a common goal. It is also extremely important for motivating employees. Staff need to know how they are getting on, what they are doing right and in which areas they could improve. Working alone can be extremely difficult and it is much easier if someone takes an interest and provides support. Employees need to understand why their job is important and how it contributes to the overall success of the firm. Personal communication should also include target setting. People usually respond wellto goals, provided these are agreed between the manager and subordinate and not imposed.However, firms often have communications problems that can undermine their performance. In many cases, these problems occur because messages are passed on in an inappropriate way. There are, of course, several ways of conveying information to others in the organization. These include speaking to them directly, e-mailing, telephoning or sending a memo. The most appropriate method depends on example, anything that is particularly sensitive or confidential, such as an employee's appraisal, should be done face-to-face.One of the main problems for senior executives is that they do not have the time or resources needed to communicate effectively. In large companies, for example, it is impossible for senior managers to meet and discuss progress with each employee individually. Obviously this task can be delegated but at the cost of creating a gap between senior management and staff. As a result, managers are often forced to use other methods of communication, like memos or notes, even if they know these are not necessarily the most suitable means of passing on messages.The use of technology, such as e-mail, mobile phones and network systems, is speeding up communication immensely. However, this does not mean that more investment in technology automatically proves beneficial: system can become outdated or employees may lack appropriate training. There are many communications tools now available but a firm cannot afford all of them. Even if it could, it does not actually need them all. The potential gains must be weighed up against the costs, and firms should realize that more communication does not necessarily mean better communication.As the number of people involved in an organization increase, the use of written communication rises even faster. Instead of a quick conversation to sort something out numerous messages can be passed backwards and forward. This can lend to a tremendous amount of paperwork and is often less effective than face to face communication. When you are actually talking to someone you can discuss things until you are happy they have understood and feedback is immediate. With written messages, however, you are never quite sure how it will be received. What you think you have said and what the other person thinks you have said can be very different.The amount of written information generated in large organization today can lead to communication overload. So much information is gathered that it gets in the way of making decisions. Take a look at the average manager's desk and you will see the problem -- it is often covered in letter, reports and memos. This overload can lead to inefficiencies. For example, managers may not be able to find the information they want when they need it. Communication is also becoming more difficult with the changes occurring in employment patterns. With more people working part-time and working from home, managing communication is becoming increasingly complex.13. In the first paragraph the writher recommends that communication with staff should include _____.A. some feedback on their job performanceB. an explanation of how company targets have been setC. information on promotion prospects within the companyD. an indication of which duties they can expect assistance with14. According to the writer, the best way of achieving effective communication is to _____.A. adapt the message to suit a particular audienceB. make the content of messages brief and directC. select the most suitable means of conveying a particular messageD. ensure that information is targeted at the appropriate group of people15. What does the writer say about the communication options available to senior manager?A. Sending memo to staff is one of the most efficient methods.B. It is important to find the time to discuss certain matters with staff.C. They should increase the range of options that they use.D. Getting junior managers to talk to staff can create different problems.16. What advice is given about the communication tools made available by technology?A. Aim to limit staff use of certain communication tools.B. Evaluate them in terms of the expenditure involved.C. Select them on the basis of the facilities they offer.D. Encourage more staff to attend training courses in their use.17. According to the writer, a problem with written communication is that _____.A. the message can be interpreted differently to what was intendedB. it can be easy for people to ignore the contents of a written messageC. most people are more comfortable with face-to-face communicationD. it is possible for correspondence to get lost within a large organization18. According to the article, what is the effect of receiving large amounts of written information?A. It is counter-productive.B. It causes conflict in a company.C. It leads to changes in work patterns.D. It makes the main points more difficult to identify.Part FourQuestions 19-33Read the letter below from an agency providing temporary staff for companies.Choose the best word to fill each gap from A, B, C or D on the opposite page.For each question 19-33, mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet.Office Angels Employment Agency14-16 Lockhart RoadWan ChaiHong KongTel: 5324365Fax: 5324111Dear Client,Office Angels is advising businesses to plan as far ahead as possible to ensure guaranteed staff cover during holiday periods.

Towards the end of the season, reducing the cost of holidays would attract last-minutecustomers, thus avoiding any possible loss on unfilled accommodation and flights. The company could also increase profits by selling more specialised holidays here in Britain, perhaps by offering breaks at historic sites and coastal destinations.B Steven WorrelWhether it's worth discounting surplus holidays is an arguable point, as it not only cuts into profits, but also results in budget-conscious holidaymakers being put next to SunT ours' more affluent customers, thus damaging the brand. It may seem attractive at first because of tight margins, but SunT ours should think twice before taking up this option. Currently, SunTours is planning to sell higher-margin holidays to previously 'unmarketed' destinations for which demand is greater than supply. It is likely that accommodation providers in these emerging holiday destinations will be more flexible when it comes to setting terms. The firm should go ahead with this policy.C Ursula CapalboGood risk management and higher sales can guarantee higher profits. Although SunTours has always been averse to planning, the company would in fact benefit from a risk model that forecasts the impact of discounting on cash flow and profitability throughout the year. SunT ours would then be able to change direction when things go wrong, as they inevitably do from time to time. Diversification can increase rather than spread risk, so caution is needed as the company enters regions where facilities for tourists are not yet fully developed. T argeting customers nearing retirement age, whose disposable income and leisure time are increasing, would be ideal.D Gillian WilmotSunT ours knows that good relationships with customers is the key to success in the travel business. With this in mind, the company should consider that brochure mailings, unlike electronic communications, can attract customers and maximise year-round opportunity. They encourage summer tourists to take another break and can even be used to send a thank-you letter to returning customers. Selling holidays at a reduced price is definitely not a sensible option. A better choice would be value-added promotions which can improve profitability and build on SunT ours customers' desire for high-quality service.四个专家分别对一个度假公司的发展给出了自己的意见。

You have to choose one of the topics from the three below and then talk for about 1 minute. You have 1 minute to prepare your ideas.2．In this part of the test, you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic. You have to choose one of the topics from the three below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas.A: What is important when...?Introducing a reward system for staff Purpose of the reward system Types of reward offeredB: What is important when...?Aiming to reach new markets Market research AdvertisingC: What is important when...?Selecting a hotel for travelling on business Location Facilities provided正确答案：I choose topic A—what is important when introducing a reward system for staff. Concerning this topic, as far as I can see, three items are listed. For the first place, purpose of the reward system should be the first item to be introduced to the staff. As the employees, staff is always eager for reward for their contribution to the company and what they are worth. If the company fails to give proper reward, staff might subsequently feel not being fairly treated, and therefore frustrate their enthusiasm for their work. So the purpose is very important. Second, types of reward offered can be also important for the staff. Nowadays, people all wish to have their jobs better and better. So the staff must want to know how to get the reward from their company efficiently. So you should list the specific items for the staff. Take the full attendance reward for example, it means mat the staff will be given this reward if the staff no absent in one month. Third, the procedure of thisreward system can be useful to the staff. The staff should have the right to know the specific steps of the reward system. For example, who will be the supervisor? And how to equally choose? I choose topic B—what is important when aiming to reach new markets. As to this topic, as far as I am concerned, there are 3 things to consider. First, I think the marketing research is always basic measurement the company should take, before the company gets into new the market. With the help of marketing research, you can learn about the needs of the consumer. No organization can survive for long without meeting consumer needs. Second, advertising is the most useful way to propagandize a company’s products and make them known to the public. Advertising is also the way to get the products orientated. The good orientation of the product can contribute to the future development of this product. Third, the high quality of the product is the substantial request. It is me assurance of the wider exploitation. It is the presupposition for consumers’buying. I choose topic C —what is important when selecting a hotel for travelling on business. As for this topic, there are three aspects to mention here. In the first place, location is the preferential point.
