填空题 · Which extract (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. · There is an example at the
beginning. A It's official: the heyday of
the DVD is over. Walt Disney OEO Robert A. Iger recently implied as much in an
analysts' call—the only studio boss to suggest public that Hollywood can no
longer count on a cash cow that has yielded billions in profits. DVD sales slid
6.3% last year. While the economy is likely a factor, it's also clear that
audiences are bypassing DVDs because they have a range of other options, from
watching movies and TV shows online to playing video games. As such, Hollywood
executives face a conundrum familiar to many CEOs. They have to prop up a
product that is losing momentum, buying time while they rethink their entire
business model. B Next-generation Blue-ray discs will
give the DVD a lift, but studio bosses still are scrambling to shore up sales.
Iger may believe the DVD's best days are behind it, but he too is trying to
goose disc sales. He has been pushing the studio to make more Disney-branded
films. Not only are parents more likely to buy Disney DVDs than other movies,
but Disney-branded films can be marketed through the company's theme parks, TV
channels, and stores. "The Disney brand," Iger says, "gives us an
advantage." C As DVD sales decline, studios are looking
for ways to cut costs so they can make more money on each disc. A primary
target: the so-called backend deals that give stars and directors a piece of a
film's revenues. Increasingly, executives are insisting that a film must break
even before the studio will share proceeds. Sony Pictures Entertainment is
forging such deals, "we can no longer afford to give away money when we can't be
sure what the DVD sales are going to be", says studio chief Michael
Lynton. D Right now, most studios are taking baby steps.
Rather than waiting weeks between the release of the DVD and the online and
cable versions of a movie, Warner Bros. and others are releasing a select few
simultaneously. The aim is to entice teens and others who aren't buying DVDs.
There also are moves afoot to let TV viewers download movies after they have
opened in theaters but before they go on sale as DVDS. The idea, says Fox Filmed
Entertainment Co-Chairman James Gianapulos, is to charge a premium—some in the
industry have said as much as $40—for an early viewing of a high-definition
flick. E Paramount arguably has gone the furthest: It's
premiering movies on the Web. Last year it streamed the comedy Jackass 2.5 on
Blockbuster's site for free. The 64-minute film attracted 15 million viewers. It
generated word of mouth, says Paramount, helping the studio sell the movie
through a variety of sites. "You can use the Internet to launch a film like you
use a movie theater," says the studio's digital czar, Thomas Lesinski, who plans
to produce more low-budget flicks for the Web.

填空题Successful E-mail Negotiation Given that you are involved in a negotiation that must proceed via information technology, how can you best achieve your goals? The following prescriptions are important. Most people overestimate the ability of other people to make sense out of what they mean. People have a hard enough time deciphering our messages in face-to-face interactions; accuracy decreases dramatically in e-mail exchanges. Many people assume that longer means clearer. It does not. People have a slant attention span and often dislike long e-mail messages, or perhaps even stop reading them if they began to fall off of the screen. Must people are capable of only retaining seven, plus-or-minus two, ideas in their head at any one 6rae. As a general rule of thumb, most e- mail messages should fit on a single screen. Screen loading, or the tendency to write very long message can lead to annoyance on the part of the recipient, especially if be or she is busy. Negotiations are more productive when the parties exchange a greater number of shorter e-mails, rather than fewer, but longer e-malls. (9) This also builds reciprocity in exchange. The asynchronous nature of e-mail provides people with the dubious luxury of not having to immediately receive of respond to e-mail messages. However, the sender of e-mail messages often expects a timely response. Not responding to e-mail may be perceived as rejection and disinterest. Further, newer forms of software allow senders to ascertain whether the recipient has read their e-mail. Failure to provide a timely response to e-mall is akin to giving the "silent treatment" to someone. (10) . Meta-communication is communication about communication. This boils down to people talking about how they should communicate. (11) In any electronic communication, it is important to let team members know how often you check your e-mail, whether you or someone else reads and responds to your e-mail, and whether you forward your e-mail to others. Flaming refers to the insults, criticisms, and character assassinations that people hurl over e-mail. Flaming remarks make fun of grammar, include labeling and accusations, character attack, backhanded compliments, and blunt statements. (12) . In contrast, face-to-face groups have mechanisms and norms, such as conformity pressure, that largely prevent flaming. People react to each other with less politeness, empathy or inhibition if they cannot sense the other's social presence. (13) . There is more uncertainty, doubt, and ambiguity in electronic mail exchanges. (14) .As a consequence, people become frustrated and seek to control the exchange by issuing threats, e.g. "I am not going to read my e-mail again". Along lines, do nut chastise or deliver negative feedback via e-mail; face-to-face or telephone communication is more appropriate.A Such and other negative interpersonal behaviors often stem from feelings of isolation.B This stems from the asynchronous nature of communication.C Increasing the rate of e-mail exchange prevents misunderstanding because misperceptions can be quickly rectified.D This will result in the failure of communication.E Suspicion and hostility increase as the communication between parties diminishes.F Negotiators are much more likely to issue threats when communicating via information technology.G Most people overestimate the ability of other people to make sense out of what they mean.H This is of critical importance in electronic interaction because the norms of mm taking and conversation are not clear.
