Read this text about the problem of Barclays Bank.The New LookWhen Sir John Quinton, then chairman of Barclays Bank, was given his marching orders last April, Britains biggest bank thought it had found the scapegoat for its sudden fall from grace and profits, Andrew Buxton, the banks managing director and an offspring of its founding families, was a pointed chairman and chief executive, with effect from January 1st of next year. It seemed a glorious victory for good business management. Is the problem solve do certainly not.1. No sooner had Mr. Buxton been appointed chairman and chief executive than bigshareholders and quite a few board members began quietly to question his ability to do both jobs at once. Now, weeks before he is due to move up, the questions are louder. Many wish the bank had seized the opportunity Lasy April to separate the two top posts. And privately. Some wonder whether Mr. Buxtonis the right man for either one. What started as a thoroughly British Whispering Campaign has assumed much bigger dimensions..2. Mr. Buxton has suffered it all, but in truth he has no way out. After weeks of talking to shareholders and discussing with his non-executive directors, he has accepted that Barclays will separate the top jobs sometimes in the future. How7 He says that there has been no formal discussion of it in the boardroom.3. Formally or informally, it has been agreed that Mr. Buxton will not be moved from his chairmanship, and that Barclays must find a strong chief executive. Opinions differ as to whether this person should be chosen from inside or outside the bank. Several board members believe that there is no ideal candidate inside Barclays.4. Neither shareholders nor non-executive directors want to wait long. If the right candidate can be found, the bank could combine the announcement of a new appointment with its annual results at the end of March. Mr. Buxton stressed the importance of getting this next step right, particularly since any appointment will mean overturning a management reorganization that was announced only eight months ago.Questions 13-16.

初级商务英语阅读理解试题Achieving a successful mergerHowever attractive the figures may look on paper, in thelong run the success or failure of a merger depends on thehuman factor. When the agreement has been signed and theaccountants have departed, the real problems may only just bebeginning. If there is a culture clash between the two companiesin the way their people work, then all the efforts of the financiersand lawyers to strike a deal may have been in vain.According to Chris Bolton of KS Management Consultants, 70% of mergers fail to live up totheir promise of shareholder value, riot through any failure in economic terms but because theintegration of people is unsuccessful. Corporates, he explains, concentrate their efforts before amerger on legal, technical and financial matters. They employ a range of experts to obtain themost favourable contract possible. But even at these early stages, people issues must be takeninto consideration. The strengths and weaknesses of both organisations should be assessed and, ifit is a merger of equals, then careful thought should be given to which personnel, from which side,should take on the key roles.This was the issue in 2021 when the proposed merger between two pharmaceuticalcompanies promised to create one of the largest players in the industry. For both companies themerger was intended to reverse falling market share and shareholder value. However, although thecompanies skill bases were compatible, the chief executives of the two companies could not agreewhich of them was to head up the new organisation. This illustrates the need to compromise if amerger is to take place.But even in mergers that do go ahead, there can be culture clashes. One way to avoid this isto work with focus groups to see how employees view the existing culture of their organisation. Inone example, where two global organisations in the food sector were planning to merge, focusgroups discovered that the companies displayed very different profiles. One was sales-focused,knew exactly what it wanted to achieve and pushed initiatives through. The other got involved inlengthy discussions, trying out options methodically and making contingency plans. The firstresponded quickly to changes in the marketplace; the second took longer, but the option iteventually chose was usually the correct one. Neither companys approach would have worked forthe other.The answer is not to adopt one companys approach, or even to try to incorporate everyaspect of both organisations, but to create a totally new culture. This means taking the best fromboth sides and making a new organisation that everyone can accept. Or almost everyone.Inevitably there will be those who cannot adapt to a different culture. Research into the impact ofmergers has found thatcompanies with differing management styles are the ones that need towork hardest at creating a new culture.Another tool that can help to get the right cultural mix is intercultural analysis. This involvescarrying out research that looks at the culture of a company and the business culture of thecountry in which it is based. It identifies how people, money and time are managed in a company,and investigates the business customs of the country and how its politics, economics and historyimpact on the way business is done.13 According to the text, mergers can encounter problems whenA contracts are signed too quickly.B experts cannot predict accurate figures.C conflicting attitudes cannot be resolved.D staff are opposed to the terms of the deal.14 According to Chris Bolton, what do many organisations do in preparation for a merger?A ensure their interests are representedB give reassurances to shareholdersC consider the effect of a merger on employeesD analyse the varying strengths of their staff15 The proposed merger of two pharmaceutical groups failed becauseA major shareholders were opposed.B there was a fall in the demand for their products.C there were problems combining their areas of expertise.D an issue of personal rivalry could not be resolved.16 According to the text, focus groups can help companies toA develop new initiatives.B adopt contingency plans.C be decisive and react rapidly.D evaluate how well matched they are.17 Creating a new culture in a newly merged organisation means thatA management styles become more flexible.B there is more chance of the merger working.中华考试网C staff will find it more difficult to adapt to the changes.D successful elements of the original organisations are lost.18 According to the text, intercultural analysis will showA what kind of benefits a merger can lead to.B how the national context affects the way a company is run.C how long it will take for a company culture to develop.D what changes companies should make before a merger takes place.参考答案接解析《Achieving a successful merger》,实现一个胜利的并购。

He’d heard that there was going to be a large exhibition for jewellery designers and he asked the organisers whether he could show some of his work. ‘I was only 21,’he says, ‘and they agreed, if I could show a complete collection.’So he went to the bank, borrowed £1,500 for materials, and began to work on new designs. ‘The exhibition was fantastic. Although everyone else was much more experienced than I was, my designs were still praised.’He decided to transfer his business to Canada and began to experiment with new materials: all sorts of stones from around the world, some totally new to him. ‘As most of them weren’t precious, it changed the way I approached design. It was great!I was able to produce much larger pieces of modern jewellery,’ he says. ‘Then I was asked by an advertising agency to design a wedding ring for a TV advert. The agency liked what I’d done, but their client, a car manufacturer, wanted something a little more traditional. I was happy to make changes and that work gave me a lot of free publicity.’16.At the start of his career, Paul felt confident.A.RightB.WrongC.Doesn’t say正确答案:A17.Paul used his savings to make jewellery for the exhibition.

Interviewers find it useful to ask candidates about the way they behaved in difficult situations in the past, for example with an angry customer or colleague. These questions allow applicants to explain how they acted in a real-life situation and, consequently, give clues as to how they would act again in similar situations. Candidates are likely to tell the truth as speaking from memory leaves little time to invent what happened. On the other hand questions which ask candidates to imagine how they would behave in a situation which they have probably never met are of little or no value. This is because they only provide answers about how candidates would hope to behave, and this might not match the actions they would actually take. In any interview candidates must be treated fairly, with questions asked in the same manner and with no candidate’s interview lasting considerably longer than any other’s. Candidates should always be given the opportunity to ask questions throughout the interview. Jan Godley, head of Human Resources at Aspley Supermarkets says: ‘A company needs staff not only who have the right qualifications and experience, but also who are happy to fit in with the company’s way of doing things. Our managers have to accept the idea that everyone working here is a colleague (managers are always known by their first names), and that spending time actually in the store with colleagues and customers, rather than in their offices, is part of the job. For management posts, we organise pre-interview group exercises to measure team-working and leadership skills, sometimes along with activities to assess personal qualities. In all our interviews we pay attention to body language. It is natural for candidates to show signs of being nervous at an interview but most relax after a few minutes and become more confident. However, if the nervousness continues until the end of the interview, especially when difficult questions are asked, we would begin to have doubts about that candidate. Like all employers, we want to take on staff who are at ease with colleagues and customers so it is important to watch the way candidates behave, as well as listen to what they have to say.’23.According to the article, why are questions about a candidate’s past behaviour useful?A.They prove the candidate will act appropriately in different circumstances.B.They show the candidate can remember details of the situation.C.They demonstrate how the candidate might act in the future.正确答案:C24.Why is asking candidates to imagine their reactions to a situation unhelpful?A.Candidates may have no experience of this situation.B.Candidates may act differently in the real-life situation.C.Candidates may never meet such a situation.正确答案:B25.According to the article,A.candidates should ask questions at the end of the interview.B.interviewers should ask all the candidates the same question.C.interviews should all last for roughly the same length of time.正确答案:C26.What does Jan Godley say about the managers in her company?A.They must spend some time with customers in the store.B.They must know the first names of all their staff.C.They must spend most of their time in their offices.正确答案:A27.Management applicants at Aspley Supermarkets areA.asked a number of questions about their personal qualities.B.assessed on their ability to work within a group.C.asked to say what leadership skills the job will require.正确答案:B28.According to Jan Godley, how do candidates often behave at interviews?A.They show a lack of confidence at first.B.They are skilled at hiding their nervousness.C.They suddenly lose confidence when asked difficult questions.正确答案:APART SIXBad news for bankers There was great uncertainty today about the future for employees of Lancet Bank following publication of (29) pany’s yearly financial results.

BEC初级阅读训练71. (信息定位) Marketing SegmentationWhich paragraph contains the following information?Write the correct letter, A-D。
NB: You may use any letter more than once.AMarket segmentation means dividing a market for goods or services into distinct subdivisions. It takes a vague undistinguished group of consumers and uncovers those who have similar needs, those who make purchases or use products or services in the same. A market segment is a subgroup of people sharing similar consumer characteristics. And because each segment shares the same attitudes and behaviors, they generally respond the same to a given marketing strategy.BMarkets can be divided in many ways. Small segments are sometimes called niche or specialty markets. One broad distinction is between industrial (business) and consumer markets. Despite overlaps in approach, the segmentation processes for these two separate markets can be quitedistinct. Market also involves helping to choose which segments to focus on, or designing anappropriate set of ways to approach each market segment, or planning ways and methods to address the competition.CAfter identifying similar groups among customers and potential customers, the next goal of market segmentation is to prioritise which groups to address so as to best maximize market results. And then, to craft appropriate marketing strategies that satisfy the different consumers' preferences of each segment.DThe process of market segmentation is to study, define, attract, serve and hold segment or segments of the market which the company can most effectively and profitably address. Since the needs of customers, and how they decide between to choose one product or service over another, are shared by similar individuals in a segment, companies can use that to find groups of consumers that share those similar buying habits and criteria and study them in depth and address and satisfy them better. In that way the company can determine which groups of customers it can best and most profitably serve and which of its products and services can outstrip the competition in dominating that target market.1. ________Companies can know their strengths and benefit from the market segmentation.2. ________Market should be diversified in order to satisfy different customers.3. ________Market segmentation is useful to establish targets, choose positions and marketing mix.4. ________What consumers favour should be taken into consideration when designing a marketingstrategy.5.________The same consumption patterns are worth researching and making good use of.6.________Products or services should vary and serve different groups of consumers.7.________To get the most returns, specific groups should be put in the first place.2. (完型填空)Human Resources PolicyCBA Bank was the largest financial institution to sign the employers' "People Come First" code of practice in the early 1990s. In doing so, it committed itself to the highest standards in humanresources practices such as the communication of company 1 to employees, the setting ofindividual training and personal 2 plans, and the holding of regular performance 3 for all staff.Like other organizations, CBA is replacing the traditional hierarchy with a flatter organizational structure which gives employees more broadly defined 4 within the company. The change is offering employees greater opportunities for work in cross-disciplinary project teams. As a result,interpersonal 5 are extremely important. The policy seems to be working. There is a great deal of goodwill among employees, who 6 the fact that customer satisfaction is the organization's chief aim. CBA claims to pursue this aim for its own 7 rather than as a means of earning profits for shareholders.An ability to relate to all kinds of people is the most important attribute CBA looks for it 8 recruits. Graduates are 9 for a two-year period and exposed to all 10 of retail financial services. By the end of this training period, they will have taken their Institute of Banking examination and, if they have 11 their performance targets, they will have 12 a job at the bank."On the whole, we are not looking for people straight out of college," says human resources manager Mary Kemp. "We would prefer that they had 13 some experience of life and hadtaken a year out between school and college to travel or do some kind of work." The company hasrecently introduced a new policy on pay, and it is now 14 to performance through bonusschemes, with the objective being to 15 employees for their achievements and effort.3. (阅读理解)Flat outHaving seen the damage caused by property bubbles, Hong Kong officials are determined not to have a repeat on their own patch. Last month the territory's de facto central bank pushed banks into increasing the amount of cash they demand of homebuyers. John Tsang, Hong Kong's usually tepid financial secretary, called in big developers to warn of government intervention if the housing market became "unfair" or "unhealthy". On November 2nd the territory's chief executive, Donald Tsang, vowed to cool prices.The mounting disquiet reflects a huge jump in the price of property, particularly luxury flats. Statistics compiled by CB Richard Ellis, an estate agent, show that prices of high-end flats have risen by 40% since January, and are now just 13% below their 2008 pre-crisis peak. Some are once again priced at record levels. One flat, at 39 Conduit Road, was reported by the developer to have sold in October for HK $71,000 ($9,200) per square foot. The spike in flat sales has propelled shares in property companies higher, too. That, in turn, has prompted a flood of primary and secondary offerings in property-related shares.The government's warnings may be having an impact. Sale and purchase agreements in the territory fell by 24% month on month in October (though they were still up by 97% year on year). But many flats have been pulled off the market in anticipation of even higher prices, says Diana Lilauwala of At Home, a broker whose business finding homes for expats has been hit by a sudden paucity of supply. Unlike in 2008, current prices have little to do with expats and everything to do with local and, especially, mainland buyers. The government's restrictions on leverage in property transactions may not help deter these customers. Some of them require mortgages-the percentage of mainland borrowers in Hong Kong has steadily risen over the past three years—but interest rates are low and many are apparently willing to pay cash. According to data from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the amount of money approved for mortgages has been declining in recent months even as prices have been going up.Surging prices have sparked criticism in the local press about the affordability of housing in Hong Kong. They have also put a spotlight on developers' selling practices. The flat at 39 Conduit Road officially occupies the 68th floor, a lucky number for Chinese people, but that is only because 42 other floors were left out of the building's numbering system. (The one just above it is on the "88th" floor, an even more auspicious number). Papers are filled with stories about tricks used to inflate the reported size of flats, in many cases to a multiple of the actual living space.Most important, the property boom has increased scrutiny of the way the government controls land sales in Hong Kong. The annual production of new flats has been declining for years. In its yearly report on the territory, released on November 3rd, the IMF welcomed hints that the government might release more land for development.

(句子填空)Consumers have sworn off many things in this recession. Brushing their teeth is not one of them. That's good news for Colagte-Palmolive, which, for the past five years, has slashed costs, raised prices, and flooded developing markets. The results: world-beating market shares for Colgate's toothpastes (45%) and manual toothbrushes (30%) and a Top 10 position in Business Week's list of best-performing companies.Thus far at least, the economic slowdown has not crimped that performance. Sales, excluding the impact of foreign currency exchanged acquisitions, rose 9% in the fourth quarter and JCEO Ian Cook expects similar growth in 2009. 1. ________ Latin America delivers 27% of revenues, and the company's toothpastes dominate in Brazil, with a 70% share.But not everything is bright for the New York consumer-goods giant. 2. ________ And the global economic crisis isn't sparing Latin America or Eastern Europe these days. Another concern: Colgate has suffered from innovation inertia. Not since 1992, when it launched Colgate Total toothpaste, has it cored a breakthrough. 3. ________ In the past year, Colgate launched 17 new oral-care products in the US, half P&G's output, according to consultant Mintel International, which tracks new product launches. "What Colgate has been lacking is a home run," says Mark Baum, who heads the consumer packaged-goods practice at Diamond Management &Technology Consultants in Chicago.Colgate thinks it could score with the Wisp, set to debut on Apr. 6. Several years in development, it's a disposable mini-tooth-brush with a "breath-freshening bead" in the bristles. 4. ________ The Wisp is part of a new push by Colgate to ramp up innovation and improve its product pipeline. The goal: a series of novel personal-care and household items that would expand Colgate's customer base and business in mature markets such as the US and Europe. "There are many things over the last 18 months that are different... and one is a greater focus on innovation," Cook told analysts in February. 5. ________(1)-(5) 题共用备选答案:A. Analysts worry that overseas returns will gradually diminish as developing markets become mature.B. The bead dissolves during brushing, eliminating the need for toothpaste.C. US consumers increased their spending on retail purchases overall, while switching away from mid-tier brands and seeking out bargains at cheaper brands.D. To achieve this, the company has opened three innovation centres in the U.S.E. In 2008, Colgate was granted a total of 181 U.S. patents, down by 68% from 2002.F. Similar products, such as the Fuzzy Brush, made by a British company of the same name, have been around for years but remain niche items.G. Colgate is still performing overseas, too.。

Projects, resources, expectations and deadlines are all outcomes of negotiation. Some people negotiate deals for a living. Dr Herb Cohen is one of these professional talkers, called in by companies to negotiate on their behalf . He approaches the art of negotiation as a game because, as he is usually negotiating for somebody else, he says this helps him drain the emotional content from his conversation. He is working in a competitive field and needs to avoid being too adversarial. Whether he succeeds or not, it is important to him to make a good impression so that people will recommend him.The starting point for any deal, he believes, is to identify exactly what you want from each other. More often than not, one party will betrying to persuade the other round to their point of view. Negotiation requires two people at the end saying ‘yes”. This can be a problem because one of them usually begins by saying “no”. However, although this can make talks more difficult, this is often just a starting point in the negotiation game. Top management may well reject the idea initially because it is the safer option but they would not be there if they were not interested.It is a misconception that skilled negotiators are smooth operators in smart suits. Dr Cohen says that one of his strategies is to dress down so that the other side can relate to you. Pitch your look to suit your customer. You do not need to make them feel better than you but, For example, dressing in a style that is not overtly expensive or successful will make you more approachable. People will generally feel more comfortable with somebody who appears to be like them rather than superior to them. They may not like you but they will feel they can trust you.Dr Cohen suggests that the best way to sell your proposal is by getting into the world of the other side. Ask questions rather than give answers and take an interest in what the other person is saying, even if you think what they are saying is silly. You do not need to become their best friends but being too clever will alienate them. A lot of deals are made on impressions. Do not rush what you are saying---put a fewhesitations in , do not try to blind them with your verbal dexterity. Also, you should repeat back to them what they have said to show you take them seriously.Inevitably some deals will not succeed. Generally the longer the negotiations go on, the better chance they have because people do not want to think their investment and energies have gone to waste. However , joint venture can mean joint risk and sometimes , if this becomes too great , neither party may be prepared to see the deal through . More common is a corporate culture clash between companies, which can put paid to any deal. Even having agreed a deal, things may not be tied up quickly because when the lawyers get involved, everything gets slowed down as they argue about small details.De Cohen thinks that children are the masters of negotiation. Their goals are totally selfish. They understand the decision-making process within families perfectly. If Mum refuses their request , they will troop along to Dad and pressure him. If al else fails, they will try the grandparents, using some emotional blackmail. They can also be very single-minded and have an inexhaustible supply of energy for the cause they are pursuing. So there are lesson to be learned from watching and listening to children.15 Dr Cohen treats negotiation as a game in order toA put people at easeB remain detachedC be competitiveD impress rivals16 Many people say “no” to a suggestion in the beginning toA convince the other party of their point of viewB show they are not really interestedC indicate they wish to take the easy optionD protect their company’s situation17 Dr Cohen says that when you are trying to negotiate you shouldA adapt your style to the people you are talking toB make the other side feel superior to youC dress in a way to make you feel comfortable.D try to make the other side like you18 According to Dr Cohen, understanding the other person will help you toA gain their friendshipB speed up the negotiationsC plan your next move.D convince them of your point of view19 Deals sometimes fail becauseA negotiations have gone on too longB the companies operate in different waysC one party risks more than the other.D the lawyers work too slowly20 Dr Cohen mentions children’s negotiation techniques to show that you shouldA be prepared to try every routeB try not to make people feel guiltyC be careful not to exhaust yourselfD control the decision-making process.参考答案:15 B 16D 17A 18D 19B 20.A15.第一段有这样一句话needs to avoid being too adversarial,也就是说要保持客观,公正,超然,所以选择B。
