填空题AWhere do you buy your clothes? Well, most of us shop at traditional retailers with increasingly frequent trios to discount stores and Internet. And most of the super-rich and trendy buy directly from designers like Gucci, Armani and Chanel. But lately their shopping habits and ours have been converging. Bonita Carol reports that many of the fashion elite are coming out of the closet and going straight to K Mart. Take a peek inside fashion editor Christy Ferrel's closet, and you'll find couture side by side with K Mart.BFashion reporter Jerry Agins calls the trend "cheapskate chic": the regent fashionable wearing Sears shoes, Wal-Mart pants and Target sweaters, proudly pairing them with designer labels. The whole trend of "cheapskate chic" is a lot of affluent people are now shopping differently, and they're just like everybody, they're decorating their homes, they're spending a lot of time in stores like K Mart and Wal-Mart. And you're in there once or twice a week, so while you're in there picking up paper towels and toilet paper and toothpaste, you happen to kind of wander about the fashion aisles.CA watershed event occurred when Sharon Stone wore that Gap T-shirt at the Oscars. She looked terrific. Everybody wondered what she had on and later they found out that she had on that $ 22 Gap turtleneck and that really resonated with a lot of consumers. Stores like the Gap, Sears, K Mart and target are taking full advantage, offering fashion mavens that perfect denim jacket or pair of jeans, T-shirt or little black dress or top to make them match with high fashion.DRetail Watcher said mass merchants are benefiting greatly from this "cheapskate chic" trend. In 1998 mass retailers such as K Mart, Wal-Mart and Target accounted for 43% of all apparel sold. And that's up from 38% five years earlier. And these stores are stealing away customers from more upscale boutiques. In Target's case, or as the fashionably in crowd call it "Tarzhay", about 80% of its customers are college educated and have a medium household income of $ 47, 000. Maybe that's why Target's offering Kashmir sweaters for the first time.

Marketing Information{{/B}}Correct Sales and marketing messages are
illegal if they falsely advertise prices,the performance capability,
quality, or the other product characteristics, or deceive34 the buyer
in what any way. A Western Canadian electronics firm was convicted35
recently of bait-and-switch selling (selling products with deceptive
advertising).36 This practice occurs when a company advertises at a
very low price on a37 product, but the customer has great many
difficulty getting the special price.38 Rather that, the company
attempts to sell the customer a similar but39 higher-priced product or
offers a rain check that it will not be honored. This40 tactic for
attracting customers is a form of deceptive marketing. Furthermore,41
sellers of services must also be cautious about how the language they use
to42 describe what they will do. Letters, reports, and proposals that
they describe43 services to be performed are interpreted as contracts
in courts. Sales and44 marketing messages must not make claims that
cannot be verified, so that45 language must not promise more than
which intended.

填空题How Management Teams Can Have a Good Fight Top managers often find it very difficult to manage conflict. They know that conflict over issues is natural and even necessary. Reasonable people,making decisions under conditions of uncertainty,are likely to have honest disagreements over the best path for their company's future. Management teams whose members challenge one another's thinking develop a more complete understanding of the choices, cerate a richer range of options. Ultimately they are able to make the kinds of effective decisions necessary in today's competitive environments. But, unfortunately, healthy conflict can quickly turn unproductive. A comment meant as a substantive remark can be interpreted as a personal attack. (8) Personalities frequently become closely connected with issues. Because most executives are proud of their ability to make rational decisions,they find it difficult even to acknowledge—let alone manage—this emotional,irrational dimension of their behavior. The challenge is familiar to anyone who has ever been part of a management team. (9) The managers should be encouraged to argue without destroying their ability to work as a team. In a study,in 4 of the 12 companies,there was little or no substantive disagreement over major issues and therefore little conflict to observe. But the other 8 companies experienced considerable conflict. In 4 of them,the top-management teams handled conflict in a way that avoided interpersonal hostility or discord. (10) They described the way they work as a team as‘open’,‘fun’,and ‘productive’. The executives vigorously debated the issues,but they wasted little time on carefully considering and posturing. As one put it, 'I really don't have time. 'Another said, 'We don't gloss over the issues:we hit them straight on. But we're not political, ' Still another observed of her company's management team, 'We scream a lot,then laugh,and then resolve the issue. ' The other four companies in which issues were contested were less successful at avoiding interpersonal conflict. Their top teams were plagued by intense hostility. (11) When executives described their colleagues to us,they used words such as‘manipulative’, ‘secretive’.‘burned out’,and‘political’. The teams with minimal interpersonal conflict were able to separate substantive issues from those based on personalities. (12) How did they do that? After analyzing the observations of the teams’ behavior, the experts found that their companies used the same tactics for managing interpersonal conflict. For instance,team members worked with more, rather than less, information and debated on the basis of facts.A. They must try to keep constructive conflict over issues from turning into nonfunctional interpersonal conflict.B. Executives Often failed to cooperate. rarely talking with one another, tending to fragment into cliques, and openly displaying their frustration and anger.C. Anxiety and frustration over difficult choices can evolve into anger directed at colleagues.D. Executives in those companies referred to their colleagues as 'smart', 'team player', and 'best In the business'.E. All the teams had to make high-stakes decisions in the face of considerable uncertainty and under pressure to move quickly.F. They managed to disagree over questions of strategic significance and still get along with one another.
