Let Workers Work
In these difficult economic times, lots of companies are cutting benefits
to maintain profits. So when Fortune magazine recently published its list
of the "100 best companies to work for," I couldn't help but notice that lots of
these companies are maintaining or even improving benefits such as medical care,
onsite child care, fitness facilities, and so forth. Moreover, it turns out that
firms that have made the list in the past have on average also done well in the
stock market. So they must be doing something right. Are those on the list
compiled by Fortune simply examples of successful companies that can afford to
be nice? Or is there some link between generous benefits and an organization's
performance? Obviously, there is a link.{{U}} (9)
{{/U}}For starters, it seems perfectly sensible
that companies with generous benefits and employee-friendly policies
attract a more motivated, higher-quality workforce.{{U}}
(10) {{/U}}. Consider health care and health
insurance.{{U}} (11) {{/U}}For example, Definity Health, a recent
entrant in the health-care-plan in business, supplies consumers with loads of
information that it claims "empowers employees with greater control over health
and wellness decisions," thus limiting costs to employers. The typical Definity
Health plan, in fact, carries a high deductible to encourage patients to become
cost-conscious health-care shoppers. What's wrong with greater
employee involvement and cost-consciousness?{{U}} (12) {{/U}}Having
individual employees more actively manage their medical benefits — and, for that
matter, 401 (k) and even flexible spending accounts — overlooks the advantages
of specialization and the division of labor. Do you really want your people to
spend their time becoming medical or financial experts, all while they're also
engaged in a constant hunt to find quality child care? Wouldn't it be nice — and
maybe even efficient — if someone with both knowledge and your employees' best
interests in mind relieved them of those burdens?{{U}} (13) {{/U}}Health
Advocate, a firm that hunched in January 2002, charges companies about $2 a
month per employee to help their people deal with their health insurers. It has
already signed up 122 firms. Companies that successfully
capture the motivation and energy of their workers operate under a simple
premise:{{U}} (14) {{/U}}When their folks are at work, they want them to
focus their energy on being productive.A In an effort to control
rising medical costs, many companies are experimenting with insurance plans that
make employees more "cost-conscious" by having them take an active role in their
health care.B Clearly, some companies are beginning to realize that
this is a problem. However, most CEOs and top executives don't have a clue how
important that connection is.D Here's a novel thought: Most employees
want the same thing.E Remove from employees as many extraneous burdens
and worries as possible.F But there is another, more important issue
here: We're working our employees to the bone with all sorts of tasks unrelated
to their jobs.G Nothing, unless you think about the inevitable
trade-offs in a worker's time and attention.H
Moreover, it turns out that firms that have made the list in the past have
on average also done well in the stock market.

填空题Eliminating Sweatshops at Nike: Just De it! Over the past decade, Nike has been one of the most profitable companies in the United States. However, at a time when the company's spokesperson, Michael Jordan, was bringing in over $10 million, the young, mostly women workers in its Indonesian plants were taking home only $ 2.23 a day. (31) , working conditions in Nike's Serang plant, 50 miles west of Jakarta, were far from ideal. Hundreds of workers, some children, were crowded into vast sheds where they glued, stitched, pressed, and boxed 70 million pairs of (32) a year. Collusion between local management and government made organizing workers into unions both difficult and dangerous, and the high level of unemployment left workers powerless. Taken together, these labor practices helped keep cost so low and quality so high that a pair of running shoes that (33) for $75 retail in the United States cost just $18.25 to manufacture. With this type of cost and price structure, it is easy to see how Nike became so profitable. However, the ability to sustain these practices became an issue in 1996 when the U.S. media exposed these sweatshop conditions. As consumers became increasingly aware of (34) their sneakers were actually being made, some felt guilty, and human rights groups went so far (35) to organize boycotts of Nike products. Given the damage to Nike's image and future profitability, something had to be done. At first, Nike CEO Phillip Knight defended his operations, noting that Nike pays its workers no (36) than its rivals do and that these workers make more than minimum wage in the host countries. Critics countered that the level of pay was (37) the subsistence level and much lower than what is paid by other U.S. companies such as Coco-Cola, Gillette, and Goodyear. To end this image problem (38) and for all, on May 12, 1998, Knight pledged to(a) raise the minimum worker age requirement,(b) adopt U. S.-style safety and health standards, and(c) allow human rights groups to help monitor working conditions in all foreign plants. He again showed his commitment to reform six months later (39) raising wages 22 percent to offset the currency devaluation that rocked Indonesia in the fall of 1998. Knight used both occasions to challenge his competitors to do the same, realizing that their failure to do so would put Nike at a competitive disadvantage. Although it is currently unclear how these (40) will respond, it is obvious that Nike is at least trying to establish its image as a trend setter in both footwear and working conditions in international locations.

填空题{{B}}PART ONE{{/B}}·Look at the statements below and the five tips
concerning marketing on the opposite page.·Which tip (A, B, C , D or E )
does each statement 1-8 refer to?·For each statement 1-8, mark one letter
(A, B, C , D or E ) on your Answer Sheet.·You will need to use some of these
letters more than once.
A
{{B}}About Marketing{{/B}}Our theory going into 2002 was that most
companies would hold their breath and wait for the economy to move before
investing in marketing. And cutting back marketing dollars did turn out to be
the wave that most companies were riding. But, it is just a knee jerk reaction
to a down turn. Those that continued to market through this year are in better
shape going into 2003 than when they staged in 2002, Marketing is not for just
the best of times, it's crucial in the worst of times.B
{{B}}About
the Customer{{/B}}Aside from wondering where you're going to get new
customers, we all learned that it should really be about retaining your existing
customers. Guess what? That's where the lion's share of your business is
coming from anyway. Too bad many companies cut back on customer service. Some
companies chased away their existing customers in droves in the interest of
saving money. It doesn't make sense.C
{{B}}About
Relationships{{/B}}Many assumed price was the major issue with customers. A
customer is surely going to talk about pricing. But you have to move that
conversation in a mote productive direction. It's not about pricing. It's about
value. If you can demonstrate value you don't have to lead with price, In large
part, the value in any customer interaction is the relationship you build with
them and how you maintain it. And the hard truth is if you're serious about
relationships, you maintain them even when they aren't buying. Why? Because once
they have money they will stick with those who stuck with them.D
{{B}}Doing More With Less{{/B}}The days of spending marketing and
sales dollars like water are over. That's not a bad thing, really. It means that
companies are now going to really think through their decisions and make better
ones. It's better for the economy in the long term. And it gives everyone an
opportunity to present the best solutions and the best value for business
propositions. Doing more with less is actually smarter and will improve the
business climate over the long haul, which is really what counts.E
{{B}}Pipeline{{/B}}Every company should be working on
near-term, mid-term and long-term opportunities. This is solid selling
technique. In a tight economy, it's absolutely imperative. We all knew that 2002
had very little low-hanging fruit to grab. That meant you had to march harder,
more creatively and longer to build a solid pipeline. Ideally, you should have a
handful of deals just ready to close, a handful of hot prospects, and more than
a handful of opportunities that you are moving along. The time to start is
always NOW! Going into 2003, what does your pipeline look like?

填空题High fliers of the future head for specialist fairs Despite the recent development of online recruiting, graduate job fairs are still proving hugely popular in Britain with both employers and job hunters. (0) H Any graduate with big ambitions could be forgiven for thinking that the north-west of England is the centre of the north-west of England is the centre of the universe next week. (9) As usual, they will all be looking for the brightest, best and most suitable graduates to employ. November 2 sees Expo Management (the finance, business and management fair), and on November 3, Technology for the Future (the IT, science and engineering fair), will be held.(10) Expo Management has also expanded, to incorporate a broad range of careers in business and management, as well as the finance sector. There are excellent transport links from all parts of the country to where the fairs are being held. An accommodation booking service is available, and there is plenty of entertainment on offer. Employers are keener than ever to take part.(11) Having said that, employers use the fairs in order to make contact with the specific kinds of graduates they are looking to recruit.(12) However, all graduates visiting the fairs with the right skills and motivation are likely to get a very positive response from employers. Preparation is the key to getting the most from these fairs and visitors should have done their homework. (13) It is sensible to exploit this opportunity by coming armed with a good CV and a list of relevant questions to ask. Also, this year the fairs' organizers have introduced a new support facility. (14) By visiting http://www.networld.co/gradfairs, they will get instant access to the full list of exhibitors and their vacancies, as well as links to their company websites. With the world of business changing and expanding so rapidly, ambitious graduates will find that time spent at the fairs makes an excellent investment in their future. A They are keen for graduates to make use of this innovation before they attend the fairs. B Graduates can take advantage of these to ensure that they know how to make the best applications possible in the weeks following the fairs. C The latter, only a few years old, has proved so successful that this year it has doubled in size: it now plays host to more than 40 employers. D In particular, it is those with technical qualifications who are most sought after. E After all, they may not have another chance to see such a huge range of prestigious employers under one roof. F The reason is that is where a 170-strong list of employers will be setting up their stands at the start of November's round of graduate fairs. G This enthusiasm means that the prospects for graduate job-hunters are excellent at the moment. H As a result, they are getting bigger and bigger each time they hit the road again.
