English for Business Studies
Key to Unit 01: The three sectors of the economy
This unit covers a lot of basic vocabulary concerning developed economies much of it in an extract from a well-known British novel. It also discusses the evolution of the economy of most of the older industrialized countries, with the decline of manufacturing industry and its replacement by services. There is an extract from a magazine interview with an economist and an interview with a British Member of Parliament on this issue.
1a Vocabulary p09
Identify the most prominent features in this photograph, which illustrates various important elements of the infrastructure of a modern industrialized country.
The photo clearly shows a large factory (the Unilever factory in Warrington, England) in the center, with more factories, industrial units, or warehouses in the top right-hand corner. The large factory seems to include some office buildings. Also visible are agricultural land (in the background; the land in the foreground doesn’t appear to be cultivated), a river, a railway and several roads, and housing, perhaps with a school in the center of the housing estate top left.
1b Reading p10
What is the key point that this extract is making about economies?
The text suggests that most people take for granted the amazing complexity of the economic infrastructure.
1c Comprehension p11
1.In lines 4-7, Robyn sees examples of all three. What are they?
Tiny fields (the primary sector), factories (the secondary sector), and railways, motorways, shops, offices, and schools (the tertiary sector).
2.The long sentence from lines 12-28 lists a large number of operations belonging to the different sectors of the economy. Classify the 18 activities from the passage Primary sector: digging iron ore, mining coal.
Secondary sector: assembling, building, cutting metal, laying cables, milling metal, smelting iron, welding metal.
Tertiary sector: advertising products, calculating prices, distributing added value, maintenance, marketing products, packaging products, pumping oil, transportation.
3.Can you think of three important activities to add to each list (not necessarily in relation to the kettle)?
Primary sector: farming (agriculture), fishing and forestry
Secondary sector: manufacturing, transforming and processing
Tertiary sector: financing, designing, retailing
2a Reading p12
1.Why do people worry about the decline of manufacturing?
Because they think it will lead to unemployment.
2.Which activities are as important as the production of goods?
Designing goods, persuading people to buy them; arts and entertainment.
3.Should people worry about this state of affairs?
No, because it is a natural, progressive and inevitable development.
2b Listening p13
Listen to a short interview with Denis MacShane, a British Member of Parliament for the Labor Party.
Does he hold the same view as J. K. Galbraith?
Denis MacShane quite clearly disagrees with Galbraith.
1.Why does MacShane think that manufacturing has a future?
Because there are many new products that have to be invented to serve new needs.
2.Why does MacShane think that manufacturing has a future in the advanced countries?
Because these countries have production technology that requires very little labor input.
3.Why, however, is this manufacturing unlikely to solve the problem of unemployment?
Precisely because it requires very little labor input.
4.What does MacShane mean by ‘in theory there should be no more manufacturing’ in Switzerland? (It is this theory that makes many people argue that m anufacturing must move to ‘less-developed’ countries.)
The conventional theory is that the most important cost in manufacturing is labor, and wages and salaries in Switzerland are the highest in the world. (As is the cost of living!)
5.Why does he say it is surprising for a British company to be buying Swiss goods? Because the pound sterling has, over the years, lost a great deal of value against
foreign currencies, especially the Swiss franc.
6.What is the reason he gives for the United States still being the richest nation in the world?
It has a successful manufacturing economy, including its computer and car (automobile) industries.
7.Match up the following expressions and definitions:
1.to convert itself. B/ to change from one thing to another
2.to serve needs D/ to satisfy people’s desires or requirements
https://www.doczj.com/doc/a512121178.html,bor input A/ manual work
4.to stumble on E/ to discover something by accident
5.to be dubious C/ to be uncertain, disbelieving
2c Writing p13
Summarize both Gallbraith’s and MacShane’s arguments in a short paragraph of fewer then 50 words.
A POSSIBLE SUMMARY Galbraith says that manufacturing industry will inevitably decline in the advanced industrial countries, and be replaced by design, advertising, entertainment, and so on. MaShane says that manufacturing will change, and make new products with new technology.
New words in this unit 01
agriculture, business, company, consumer, economic, economy, employment, goods, industry, infrastructure, labour, manufacturing, primary sector, product, raw materials, secondary sector, tertiary sector, unemployment
Unit 2 Management
Management is important. The success or failure of business organizations, government institutions and public sector services, voluntary and non-profit organizations, sports teams, and so on, often depends on the quality of their management. This unit includes a discussion of the qualities required by managers, a definition of management, consideration of the role of the meetings in management, a critical view of the management of one large American multinational company, and an interview with the manager of a British department store, who discusses his job.
Before the discussion on the qualities required by managers and the definition of management, maybe we can discuss the cartoo n. What’s the joke? We can assume
that Mr. Farvis runs this company (his name is on the door). What can we say about his managerial skills, or his apparent lack of them?
Discuss in pairs for two minutes what exactly managers do, concerning organizing, setting objectives, allocating tasks and resources, communicating, motivating, and so on.
1a Discussion
What is management? Is it an art or a science? An instinct or a set of skills and techniques that can be taught?
Management is a mixture of innate qualities and learnable skills and techniques. What do you think makes a good manager? Which four of the following qualities do you think are the most important?
Being decisive: able to make quick decisions
Being efficient: doing things quickly, not leaving tasks unfinished, having a tidy desk, and so on
Being friendly and sociable
Being able to communicate with people -----
Being logical, rational and analytical
Being able to motivate and inspire and lead people -----
Being authoritative: able to give orders
Be ing competent: knowing one’s job perfectly, as well as the work of one’s subordinates -----
Being persuasive: able to convince people to do things
Having good ideas -----
Are there any qualities that you think should be added to this list?
Which of these qualities can be acquired? Which must you be born with?
There are clearly no definitive answers as to which of these skills can be acquired. 1b Reading
Peter Drucker, the (Austrian-born) American management professor and consultant, is the author of many books about business. This text summarizes some of Peter Drucker’s views on management. It paraphrases the extended definition of management he gives in one of his management textbooks. As you read about his description of the work of a manager, decide whether the five different functions he mentions require the four qualities you selected in your discussion, or others you did not choose.
What is management?
Drucker’s first point (setting objectives and developing strategies) presumably requires qualities J, H, E and A (not necessarily in that order). The second point (organizing) presumably also requires H, E and J. The third point (motivation and communication) embraces F, D, I and probably C. The fourth point (measuring performance) probably requires H and E. The fifth point (developing people) might require H, F, D and J. But all this is clearly open to discussion.
1c Vocabulary
Complete the following sentences with these words.
Achieved; board of directors; communicate; innovations; manageable; performance; resources; setting; supervise
1.managers have to decide how best to allocate the human, physical and capital
resources available to them.
2.Managers -- logically – have to make sure that the jobs and tasks given to their
subordinates are manageable.
3.There is no point in setting objectives if you don’t communicate them to your
staff.
4.Managers have to supervise their subordinates, and to measure, and try to improve,
their performance.
5.Managers have to check whether objectives and targets are being achieved.
6.A top manager whose performance is unsatisfactory can be dismissed by the
company’s board of directors.
7.Top managers are responsible for the innovations that will allow a company to
adapt to a changing world.
1d Vocabulary
The text contains a number of common verb-noun partnerships (e.g. achieve objectives, deal with crises, and so on).
Match up these verbs and nouns to make common collocations.
Allocate resources (or people)
Communicate information (or decisions)
Develop strategies (or people or subordinates)
Make decisions
Measure performance
Motivate people
Perform jobs
Set objectives
Supervise subordinates
2 Meetings
‘One can either work or meet. One cannot do both at the same time.’ (Peter Drucker: An Introductory View of Management)
What do you think Peter Drucker means by this comment?
Drucker obviously believes that work is largely something that is done individually, and that meetings are not ‘work’, but merely preparation for it, or consolidation after it.
2a Reading p18
Read the computer journalist Robert X. Cringely’s description of the management style at IBM.
Is he positive or negative about IBM’s working culture?
Robert Cringely’s history of the personal computer industry is very informative, in places very critical, and also very funny. In this extract, he is extremely negative about IBM, saying that they put much too much effort into management and worrying about the possibility of making bad decisions, and not enough into producing good, competitively-priced products.
2b Comprehension
Explain in your own words exactly what Robert Cringely means in the following sentences.
1.Every IBM employee’s ambition is apparently to become a manager.
It seems as if the people who work for IBM are more interested in being regarded as
a manager than as a computer designer or technician
2.IBM makes management the company’s single biggest business.
IBM’s corporate culture seems to place more emphasis on management than on developing and selling the company’s products.
3.IBM executives manage the design and writing of software.
IBM’s managers don’t actually do the work of designing and writing software themselves, but organize and supervise the people who do it.
4.IBM products aren’t often very competitive.
IBM products are rarely as good or as dheap as similar products made by their competitors
5.The safety net at IBM is so big it is hard to make a bad decision.
There is an extensive hierarchy and a system of checks and controls which ensures that bad decisions are generally avoided (but good decisions also take a very long
time to make).
6.This will be the source of the company’s ultimate downfall.
The slowness of IBM’s decision-making process (and the consequent lack of competitiveness of their products) will eventually destroy the company.

3 The retail sector
You will hear part of an interview with Steve Moody, the manager of the Marks & Spencer store in Cambridge, England.
What do you know about Marks & Spencer?
M&S, as many people call them in Britain sell clothes, household goods and food. They have branches all over Britain, and are expanding into continental Europe.
3a Listening
listen to part One, in which Steve Moody describes the role and responsibilities of a store manager.
Tapesript Part One
STEVE MOODY so, as the store manager in Cambridge, which is probably the fortieth largest of the 280 stores we have got, I am responsible for the day-to-day running of the store. All the product is delivered to me in predescribed quantities, and obviously I’m responsible for displaying that merchandise to its best advantage, obviously I’m responsible for employing the staff to actually sel l that merchandise, and organizing the day-to-day logistics of the operation. Much more running stores is about the day-to-day operation. And ensuring that that’s safe, and obviously because of the two hundred people that we would normally have working her e it’s ensuring that they are well trained, that they are well motivated, and that
the environment they work in is a pleasant one, that they are treated with respect, and that they are committed to the company’s principles.
Which of the following tasks is he responsible for?
1.designing the store and its layout
2.displaying the merchandise
3.employing the sales staff
4.ensuring the safety of staff and customers
5.establishing the company’s principles
6.getting commitment from the staff
7.increasing profits
8.maintaining a pleasant working environment
9.motivating staff
https://www.doczj.com/doc/a512121178.html,anizing the day-to-day logistics
11.pricing the merchandise
12.running 40 out of 280 stores
13.selecting the merchandise
14.supervising the day-to-day running of the store
15.training staff
3b Listening
Listen to Part Two, and answer these questions.
Tapescript Part Two
INTERVIEWER How much freedom do those people have within their jobs to make decisions themselves? How much delegation is there of responsibility down the chain?
STEVE MOODY We would , as a business, like to encourage as much accountability and delegation as possible. Of course that does depend on the abilities of the individuals, the environment in which you’re working, and the time of year. With 282 stores we have a corporate appearance in the United Ki ngdom’s high streets. It is quite important that when customers come into Marks & Spencer’s Cambridge they get the same appearance and type of looking store and the same level of service that they would expect if they went into Marks & Spencer’s Edinburgh in Scotland, for example, and it’s very important that we have a corporate statement that customers understand. So, there are obviously parameters and disciplines that, you know, not only the staff but supervision and management would follow. Within that, in terms of development and training, training is obviously an investment for all staff. If staff are trained to do their job well and they understand it, they will feel confident in what they’re doing, that in turn will give a better service to the custom ers, obviously from Marks & Spencer’s point of view it
could well lead to increased sales.
1.Why are Marks & Spencer’s store managers limited in giving accountability to
their staff and delegating responsibilities?
Although marks & Spencer ‘would like to en courage as much accountability and delegation as possible’, they have a corporate appearance for all their stores, in all of which customers should get the same level of service. This limits the freedom of individual mangers to change the stores: there are ‘parameters and disciplines that not only the staff but supervision and management would follow’.
2.What do they concentrate on instead?
Instead, they concentrate on staff development and training.
3c listening
listen to Part Three, and answer the following questions.
Tapescript Part Three
INTERVIEWER Do you have meetings for members of staff where they can express views about what’s going on in the store?
STEVE MOODY We have a series of meetings, management and supervisory every week we have something whi ch Marks & Spencer’s call a focus group, which is members of staff who get together regularly from all areas of the store, so from the food section and perhaps the menswear section, from the office who do the stock and accounting, and indeed the warehouse where people receive goods. They have meetings, they discuss issues, they discuss problems that they feel are going on in the store. They also discuss suggestions of how they can improve that we run the store, and they discuss that amongst themselves first. They will then have a meeting with members of management and obviously myself, and we will discuss those issues and work together to try and provide solutions. However, Marks & Spencer’s philosophy, I suppose, is that meetings should not be substitute for day-to-day communication and therefore if problems do arise in terms of the operation, or an individual has got a problem in their working environment, or indde their immediate line manager, or indeed if they have a problem outside, which might be domestic, or with their family, we would like to discuss that as it arises and would like to encourage a policy that they will come and talk to their supervisor or their manager, to see what we can do to solve the problem.
Steve Moody mentions two kinds of regular meetings. The first is weekly meetings for management and supervisory staff.
1.What is the second kind of meeting called?
A focus group.
2.Who attends them?
Members of staff from all areas of the store (e.g. the food section, the menswear section, the stock and accounting office, the warehouse, and so).
3.What are they designed to achieve?
Staff can discuss problems in the store, and make suggestions for improvements. After this, they will meet with members of management to discuss those issues and try to provide solutions.
4.What kind of problems cannot be dealt with by meetings?
Individuals’ problems with their work or their line manager, or even family problems
5.How are such problems dealt with?
Individuals are encouraged to discuss such problems with their supervisor or manager.
3d Discussion
After reading and hearing about management, do you think you have the right skills to be a manager? Would you be able, for example, to set objectives, motivate and coordinate the staff, and manage a department store, or a computer manufacturer? Some learners may decide that they have the necessary abilities to become a manager or even a top manager; others may envisage more specialized careers in a particular function such as marketing, finance, computing, accounting, and so on, which will not involve managing and coordinating a large number of people and operations.

Unit 6a Reporting Results 第六单元a 报告业绩 Annual Report 年度报告 A 我们目前正实施的资源增效计划所创造的利润基本抵消了罢工及不利汇价造成的损失，这种成本绩效的改进，实现了高达1亿英镑的业绩。另外一个收人来源是最近我们出售了独家拥有的子公司迪诺克斯。 B 公司稳步发展，税前利润和例外项目上升到5.96亿英镑。公司业绩良好的一个特点仍然还是严格的现金管理制度。投资的增加给公司带来了压力，但资产负债表显示，尽管有3.46亿英镑的支出，净现金收入还是达到了32亿英镑。 C 贸易额增长了4.5%，与近几年相比有了大幅度的提高；营业额提高了3%。去年底完成的结构重组计划，使经营利润也同时增长。这一项目虽然成功、但也使净现金减少到4.72亿英镑。 D 去年我们的主要业绩是收购了一家特色化工制品公司。这一投资以及已经制定的资产出售计划。将使公司的经营范围更加合理。由于公司非核心业务经营业绩不佳。交易利润下降了7%，证明我们目前所采取的行动是合理的。 Unit 7a Health and Safety 第七单元a 卫生与安全 5 STEPS TO RISH ASSESSMENT 风险评估的五个步骤 风险评估就是对工作中可能导致人身伤害的潜在危险进行周密极查，以此判断是否已经采取了足够的防范措施或者是否应该增加其他措施以防止危害发生。风险评估的目的是保证没有人受到人身伤害或者得病。事故和疾病可能夺去人的生命，而且，如果产量减少、机器被毁、保险费用增加或者需要打官司，还会影响到公司的业务。 进行风险评估时需要判断的重要事项包括：判断事故隐患是否重大，是否采取了适当的防范措施以把危害减到最小。 如果你的公司规模很小，井且你自信熟悉风险评估这项工作，你可以进行自我评估，或者，你也可以让有责任心的员工、安全事务代理人、安全员来帮你做这项工作。如果你自己没有把握，可向地方健康和安全监督员咨询。但切记：你有责任保证防范借施充分落实到位。 第一步 在你的工作场所周围巡视一遍，重新检查有什么可能引起伤害的潜在危险。忽略无关紧要的细节，把注意力集中在可能引起重大伤害或可能伤及群休的重大隐患上。向你的员工或员工代表了解他们的想法。因为他们每天身临工作场所，每天都在工作，他们可能已经注意到了一些井不是一目了然的情况。 第二步 把那些并不始终在工作场所的人员也考虑进去，比如清洁工、承包人以及维修人员。那些到访的公众也要考虑进去，他们也有可能因为你们的生产活动而受到伤害。 第三步 即使采取了充分的防范措施，仍然还会有危险存在。你需要对每种重大隐患作出判断：现存的危险是否重大，一般还是很小。首先，要考虑是否已经做了法律要求你必须做的一切。再想一想普遍接受的行业标准是否适宜。但不要就此而止，还要再为自己考虑一下，因为法.律规定你必须采取合理措施以保证工作场所的安全。切记：你的目的是通过增加必要的防范措施来减少安全隐患。 第四步 如果你的员工少于5人，就不必采用书面形式记录下来；但如果你有5个或5个以上的员工，就必须把评估的主要结果记录下来。也就是说要把那些较为重大的隐患写下来，并把最重要的发现结果记录在案。你应该保存这一书面材料以备将来参考。如果监督员来查询你的防范措施或者如果你卷入了一场民事责任诉讼，这份材料对你就特别有用。这份材料还能够证明你已经按照法律行事了，而且它还可么提醒你密切关注具体事务或者引起你优虑的事故隐患。 第五步 有时候，你无疑需要引进新的机器、物品以及工作程序，而这些有可能引发新的隐患。如果有重大变化，

BEC商务英语高级真题及答案(5) In the last few years, managers throughout industry have seen more changes than many of them could have expected to see in their entire working lives having to communicate information which often leads to feelings of insecurity has become a key activity. From being regarded as relatively unimportant in many companies , management employee communication has become a central corporate need. Concordia International provides a good example of a company that has adjusted well to the changing needs for communication . since 1995 , Concordia has been turned inside-out and upside-down, to ensure that it is a marketing –led, customer-responsive business, one that looks outwards at customers and competitors, rather than inwards at its own processes and the way things were done in the past. In the last eight years, Concordia has reduced its workforce by more than 80.000 people - or 35% -on a voluntary basis, with further downsizing anticipated. From being an engineering company, Concordia is now remaking itself as a service company. The role of employee communication in such a context is to build people’s self-confidence, to persuade them that, although it is inevitable that the changes will go ahead, they also bring with them new opportunities for employees. However, this is not an easy task. People tend to be skeptical of these claims and to feel that they are losing touch with the company they have worked for over many years. This is understandable, since many of the old certainties are being swept away , including the core activities of the company they work for. Above all , they have had to face up to the fact that they no longer have a job for life. Research indicates that people respond to this predicament in a variety of ways. The bulk of employees fall into two main categories in terms of their response to the

7.1 Strengths and weaknesses (page 67) 1I admire my boss a lot. He’s very capable;he knows exactly what he’s doing and he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty,not like some managers who think they’re above it all. The one problem is that he takes on too much. I don’t think it’s because he doesn’t trust us to do a good job--it’s because he likes to be involved in everything. He ‘s a bit of control freak. The result is that he spreads himself very thin, when he could hand more work out to others, and he’s often overloaded and stressed. 2 Cheryl’s not particularly brilliant, but she knows that. She knows her own limitations, which is certainly one of her strengths. In fact, I don’t think you have to be particularly bright to be a manager-- that’s more a quality you need in a leader. A manager’s job is to bring order to the workplace and the team, so that people are clear about what they should be doing and when they should be doing it. Cheryl is very good at getting everyone working in the most efficient way and that makes our working environment much less stressful. 3 He’s not an easy guy to work for. He has very high expectations of his staff and he can be rude and too direct. Sensitivity is not his strong point. He often puts you on the spot: ‘What makes you think this will work?’‘Have you thought about the cost of this?’and so on . You have to be prepared to justify your actions a lot. Some people can’t stand being challenged like this all the time, but you can’t deny that he gets the most out of his staff. People do perform. 4 There are people who listen to what you are saying, and people who hear what you are saying. Paul is one of the former. He does try to listen to other people’s ideas, but his mind has often moved onto the next thing, and he doesn’t take on board what you’re saying. It’s the same thing when he’s expressing his own ideas and wishes. He kind of takes it for granted that everyone has reached the same point in their thinking that he has, when often they’re still two or three steps behind. Don’t get me wrong, he’s very nice guy--kind and clever, and he has lots of great ideas and vision for the company--but because of these communication difficulties, he can be very frustrating to work for. 5 The financial rewards in our company are not so huge, but in spite of that, in my team we all stay very motivated because our boss really appreciates our work. She’s actually very protective of her own people. She gives us a lot of praise. Other people in the company say she’s a maverick, a kind of a loner. They say she’s difficult to get on with and doesn’t really have the company’s interests at heart. But I wouldn’t known about that really, because it’s not the side of her that we see. What we get is 100% loyalty and encouragement.
