单选题 Questions 174-177 refer to he following article. Absenteeism is an ongoing problem in many companies, and the Stummering Corporation was no exception. Absenteeism and late arrival had been issues there for a long time, so management decided to study the problem. During the months of January through June of this year, employee absentee rates and arrival times were monitored. It was discovered that the average employee was showing up for work fifteen minutes late three times a week. In addition, the study showed that the majority of employees were missing a minimum of one day of work per month. Aside from the direct effects this situation was having on productivity, it was also creating a noticeable impact on employee morale. Management knew that this was a serious problem and that something had to be done right away. Human Resources suggested that management undertake an incentive program. A plan was devised whereby every employee who arrived at work on time every day during the month of August would be eligible for a cash award. Within five days of the announcement, the number of late arrivals had declined to the lowest level the company had ever experienced. The company decided to extend the program so that employees who didn't miss any days of work for the rest of the year (exclusive of approved vacations) would also be eligible for a cash award. As a result, absenteeism declined dramatically. Stummering plans to continue the program into next year and is looking into making it permanent company policy. This successful program could easily be replicated at other companies. It worked for Stummering. It could work for you.

The Moscow-based company took 450 orders of airplanes this quarter. It has now replaced their German-based rival Squatrust as the world's top aircraft manufacturer. Production rates also climbed nearly 10 percent to 150 units in the same period.Wasorkorf president Leticia Ivanov relates the jump in sales to the growing popularity of budget airlines. "The rising number of people traveling around the world on cheaper airlines consequendy boosted demand for more aircraft," Ivanov said. Wasorkorf has been the leading supplier of passenger aircraft in Southeast Asia for more than ten years. Among its customers are carriers from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, which have been gradually expanding their fleets."The figure indicates that Wasorkorf and the entire airline industry are gradually bouncing back from the economic downturn," Ivanov said.
