Paragon: great business space{{/B}} A new
concept for the twenty-first century, Paragon is a totally unique showpiece
development of high-quality office and call centre buildings, hotel and leisure
facilities. Many cities find {{U}}(31) {{/U}} increasingly difficult to
allocate office space, but the city of Wakefield is already ahead {{U}}(32)
{{/U}} the game with Paragon. Paragon offers an extensive
parkland setting with low-density buildings, and room to expand in the future.
Yet, {{U}}(33) {{/U}} the vast majority of business parks, Paragon has
not been exiled to the distant edges of the city. Instead, this large site is
only I km from the centre of Wakefield. This offers massive advantages:
employees can easily walk or cycle to work, saving stress and pollution, and
significantly cutting {{U}}(34) {{/U}} on commuting time. There is
{{U}}(35) {{/U}} more driving along the motorway to distant outposts of
business empires for the Paragon worker. But Paragon's location sacrifices
nothing {{U}}(36) {{/U}} terms of communications. It is perfectly placed
for road and rail networks. A further attraction of Wakefield for Paragon is the
ready avail- ability of a skilled workforce. {{U}}(37) {{/U}} are more
than 233,000 people available for work within an hour's journey, and an enormous
catchment population of 20 million within two hours' travel. The city has a long
history {{U}}(38) {{/U}} an administrative centre, and its recent
success in attracting top-name companies is evidence of its solid business
credentials. Figures from the developers suggest that up {{U}}(39)
{{/U}} 5,000 jobs could be available in the initial phase of its
development, with more to follow, making it {{U}}(40) {{/U}} of the most
significant areas of employment in the region.

How the Accountants Influence the Decisions {{/B}}
Accountants in industry are often asked to evaluate projects.In the
recording industry this ususlly means working out the effect on comjpany profits
of the fine print in a recording contrace.Many people think it must be
straightforward,but,like many publishing contracts,the devil lies in the detail.
{{U}} (9) {{/U}}.There is a high level of front-end
investment in trying to“break” (popularise)an artist which usually comprises a
non-returnable advance on royalties,recording costs,promotional costs and tour
support costs which sometimes even extend to large“buy-on”fees to support major
artists on big tours;i.e.they pay to play. Usuallv the first
dePartment involved in a decision to sign an artist is the AR (artistes
and repertoire)department.Sometimes unfairly labeled the Urn
Ah department.they play a vital role in identifying potential
stars.About 95%of the artists don't make the grade.{{U}} (10)
{{/U}}.This financial analysis is called a Deal Memo and it also assist in
the negotiation process. When A&R have identified a signing
then there are a number of key decisions to be made in which the business
affairs and finance departments become closely involved.{{U}} (11)
{{/U}}.Will it be a direct signing,i.e.,will the company be contracting
directly with the artist,or has the artist been savvy enough to incorporate his
own company and“loan out” his services to his own company?If the contract is
with the artist's company then it is vital that the record company get the
artist to sign a letter(called an inducement letter)stating that he personally
undertakes to fulfill his contractual obligations should his company be unable
to do so;e.g.if it were wound up. {{U}} (12)
{{/U}}.Pete Waterman's PWL with artists such as Kylie Minogue,Jason Donovan
and Rick Astley was a good example of a production house.Other examples are
1ease-tape deals and RD(pressing and distribution)where the record
company does not actually own the product but can sell it under its name for a
1imited period. {{U}} (13) {{/U}}.This will largely
concentrate on the advances,royaltv rates and contract terms that should be
offered to make it attractive to the artist to sign {{U}}
(14) {{/U}}.It should be product based,for example,on the number of
albums to be delivered by the artist(known 38 the“minimum commitment”),rather
than time based.Ideally the record company would want to sign the artist for
just one album with multiple options for further albums at its sole and absolute
discretion,so if the artist is a flop,then the contract is terminated after one
album,but if he or she is a success then options are exercised.
A.the term of the contract is very important. B.Having
decided on the form of contract then,the finance department comes int。the
Dicture in assessing and analyzing the structure of the deal.
C.Other possible forms of contract that could be considered are production
house deals where a specialist company agrees to supply a number of artists to
the record company. D.Firstly,it must be decided what form the
contract is going to take. E.However,for the very few artists
that the record companies successfully" break" then there is big money to be
made and it is therefore vital that any proposed deal undergo a through
financial analysis to ensure that the company is not over-committed.
F.Contrary to popular myth that it is easy to make money in the music
business,most artists actually lose money for the recording companies.
G.Importance should be attached to both the term and form of
the contract. H.In the recording industry this usually means
working Out the effect on company profits of the fine print in a recording
contract.

Management Buy-outs of Companies {{/B}} Involving
staff in management buy-out(MBO)negotiations can help smoo.th the path for the
future.Employees are becoming increasingly familiar with the fluctuations and
instability that their working environments can present.It's not just mergers
and acquisitions that can upset the situation.Internal MBOs can also be
particularly unsetting for employees.In some cases,the MBO takes place to save
an ailing company.In others,it is the result of senior management and board
disagreements,or is to prevent a hostile takeover bid.{{U}} (9)
{{/U}}.This insecurity can be very damaging.One of the most important
factors,often not considered during the process of an MBO,is the reaction of the
workforce,yet it is those employees who more often than not can make or break
the future Success of any new management team. {{U}}(10) {{/U}}.By
maintaining channels of communication across the floor.new management teams
could find the rank and file a useful ally in the bid to take over. Showing
those employees that a buy-out could be to their advantage,creating new
opportunities for promotion or career development,will in the long-term be
advantageous to the entire company. The challenge for new
management should be to reinspire employees.{{U}} (11) {{/U}}. If the
new team doesn't engage old employees in future plans or consider the
contribution they can make,the idea that the MBO was meant to save everyone is
lost.In this situation,long-term employees begin to see the new management team
and shareholders as the only beneficiaries in the buy-out and feel in the end
that the only people saved are those at the top of the corporate ladder.{{U}}
(12) {{/U}}.This will mean that the rescue will fail before it has
really started. It is depressingly common for new MBO teams not
to learn from the past.{{U}} (13) {{/U}}. If the new team can find
innovative ways to involve staff activelv in various aspects of the buy-out
process,the benefits are manifold.{{U}} (14) {{/U}}.A package with such
components can gain their support and be invaluable in building success for the
venture,and iS one that enlightened MBO teams tend to adopt.
A.Including them in any buy-out,discussions can improve the new company's
future prospects. B.In such circumstances it is easy for the
new board to make the same mistakes as the old. C.Possibilities
for realising these include decision-making,setting goals,and offering the
chance of a future stake in the new company. D.Whatever its
origins,those lower down the corporate ranks can often be left out of the
equation,wondering what is to become of them. E.Nobody benefits
if the company fails to meet its objectives. F.Yet the new
start represents a golden opportunity. G.This requirement is
particularly relevant when a company has failed or when staff have lost faith in
the previous management. H.Internal MBOs can also be
particularly unsettling for employees.

If it wasn't one thing, it was another one. For almost four
years, the travel world was turned upside down and
once-peripatetic business travelers were chained to41 their desks. But
as the economy picks up and that the general business climate42
improves for this year, corporate travelers are heading back to airports
and hotels43 around the world. What they'll find is a vastly different
environment for business44 travel. After years of retrenchment, major
airlines are growing up again,45 resuming with service on important
business-travel, mutes and rebuilding46 in-flight services. Alternate
carriers are stronger than ever and hurriedly adding47 business-class
services to appeal to the corporate traveler. New hotels are48 opening

appropriate, at least other52 business travelers can hit the road in
coming months confident that is, finally, things are getting a little better all
the time.

填空题Where do managers come from? Good managers are not born~ they are made up. An organization acquires managers mainly in three ways: promoting employees within the organization, hiring employees from other organizations, and hiring employees out of schools and universities. 41.Promoting people within the organization into management positions it can be an 42.excellent idea. It tends to increase motivation. Promoting from them within can also lead to 43.problems. While it can build a company loyalty, it may limit innovation. The new 44.manager may continue the practices and policies of previous managers. Thus as it is vital 45.to hire outside of people from time to time to bring new ideas into the organization. 46.Finding managers with the skills, knowledge, and experience be required to run an 47.organization or department is sometimes difficult. Specialized executive employment 48.agencies often provide with the needed skills to locate viable candidates from other companies 49.Even though if outside people can bring fresh ideas to a company, hiring them may cause 50.resentment among being existing employees. 51.Schools and universities provide a large pool of potential managers. Entry-level 52.applicants can be screened for their potential to develop them into managers. People with specialized management skills are especially good candidates.
