问答题 A: Our company has been thinking about setting a new branch in the South for a long time, but we need to discuss about the feasibility before we start.
B: Right, you can never be too careful when making important decisions. But as our company is experiencing rapid development in recent years, we may really need a branch in the southern part, and that will help extend our business area.
A: Yes, not to mention that the South is a new-emerging market since 2009. It has lots of potentials to explore compared with the North.
B: Many companies also noticed that, so if we don"t react fast enough, we may lose the competition.
A: So we must take actions as soon as possible. The first thing we should do is to choose a suitable city.
B: That could be a very complex question, and we must make a comprehensive analysis before making final decisions. Another tough question is that we have to select a manager from our company and dispatch him to the South.
A: We will leave this issue for the Board to decide, but this person must be very aggressive and energetic, so he can adapt to the new environment more quickly.
B: Once the person selected is settled, he can begin to hire workers from the local labour market.
A: That won"t be an easy job, neither. Anyway, creating a new branch demands lots of work.
