There’re a number of points to consider then arranging in-house training. The first thing is the
training needs of staff. As we know, the object of training is the staff. Only when we know and
meet their requirements,
can we improve their knowledge and skills needed for higher quality
performance and more effective work. Otherwise, it will be purposeless and a waste of time.
The second thing to remember is the quality and influence of the trainer. To make the training

新编剑桥商务英语中级第三版答案
【篇一：新编剑桥商务英语(中级)课文翻译】
1、we wanna hold your hand 我们愿与你携手创业
带着浓厚的经营意识，加上一些进取精神，再来瞧瞧，哈!你拥有了一家连锁店!如果想自己开店、大展身手却又苦于缺乏经验，同时又不想在这个充满风险的昙花一现的独立法人世界中立足，那么开家连锁店不失为一个明智之举。 然而你必须明白自己将从事何种性质的经营，这是至关重要的。特许经营就是由一方(授予特许经营者)授权允许另一方(加盟特许经营者)使用其商标或商号，并使用其一揽子经营理念。
