问答题Question 2 · This year, your company has used an advertising agency to promote your products or services. Your boss has asked you to write a report about the advertising campaign which the agency arranged. · Write the report for your boss: · outlining what the advertising campaign consisted of, · indicating what you feel the strengths and weaknesses of the campaign were, · explaining how successful you feel the advertising has been, · suggesting ideas for future advertising.
【正确答案】Background and purpose of the report Our company, Fish-pro Ltd., carried out an advertising campaign in summer 2004 in cooperation with advertising agency RGS Ltd. Aim of this report is to evaluate how successfully the campaign was carried out and also to asses main points which need to be taken into account when organizing summer 2005 campaign. Content of the campaign In the campaign three different methods were used when the customers were approached. Firstly, the current customers of Fish-pro were contacted by sending them a letter including a catalogue presenting all the new products Fish-pro has available. In addition, the general public was approached by the use of two mass medias: magazines and the radio. Strengths and weaknesses of the campaign The strength of the campaign was that by using three different methods to approach the current and prospective customers, Fish-pro was able to reach an audience of 100, 000 future customers. In addition, according to the survey made with the current customers after the campaign, Fish-pro strengthened its image as the number one store of professional fishing equipment. The weakness of the campaign according to the survey and according to my personal view was that the campaign was very similar to the campaigns that the competitors of Fish-pro have introduced earlier. Therefore it is not certain that Fish-pro is able to increase its market share in the highly competitive fishing equipment markets. Future advertising campaigns When starting to prepare the summer 2005 campaign I suggest that Fish-pro would carry out a more visible and in certain ways more 'aggressive' campaign compared to the 2004 campaign.

【正确答案】Geneva, the 27th November, 2004 Dear Sir, I am writing regarding the advertisement called ' Most Improved Organisation Award'. I work in a bank in Geneva. We are specialized in private banking. Our organization made big improvements for handicapped people last year. They rebuilt the building to order to make it accessible to wheelchairs. But they also engaged two deaf and two blind people. Being next to those people several employees asked to learn their language. The bank then organized lessons for braille and sign language. This new experience touched many clients and the building is now accessible for everybody. Furthermore, there is a new positive motivation and atmosphere inside the organization. If the bank win the price, we will reinvest the money into advertisement for disabled people and we will create a foundation. We would like help people to communicate and to help handicapped people to find interesting jobs. It will be a hard task but a nice one. I hope that you will be touched by the effort made. If you have any requests or need any further information, please do not hesitate to call me. I look forward to hearing from you and remain, Yours faithfully, Francoise Dupont Senior Private Banker
问答题Question 4 · The Chief Executive of your company is concerned that staff morale seems to have deteriorated and has invited suggestions for making improvements. · Write a proposal to the Chief Executive: · suggesting why morale is low · outlining the effects of low morale · proposing some ways of improving morale · indicating any disadvantages of your proposal.
【正确答案】Introduction This proposal aims at showing why staff morale has deteriorated and suggesting ways of improving the current situation. Findings Apart from most superior's opinion that their subordinates are not happy with their job and have developed a low morale towards it due to unsatisfactory salaries and not enough fringe benefits, a survey among the workforce has shown that the real reasons for this problem are to be found elsewhere. Many of the employees mentioned their fixed working hours and yet constantly changing amounts of incoming orders, which-as they claim-leads to boredom at work on some days and pure stress on others. But even more staff members have complaint about constant organizational changes without ever getting the information of what exactly will change beforehand. The effects can be noticed in every department of the company. Superiors and department directors say that their subordinates are not willing to do any, extra work and are absolutely not open for any changes. Recommendations It is suggested that the first step towards a better work atmosphere be the introduction of flexi time. That way the employees can leave earlier when there isn't much work to do and stay longer when the amount of work rises. The problem of organizational changes should be tackled in three different ways. First of all supervisors are to be encouraged to pass more information on to the workforce, secondly the employees should become more involved in the decision making process and at last there should be annual feedbacks by the employees about their superiors. The downside of these actions is that they are quite time consuming and this of course leads to more costs but on the other hand there will be less fluctuation.
