The co-founder of an Oklahoma
prescription drug service shut down for violating federal drug importation laws
has a new company providing access to discounted medicines over the
Internet Web-based Integrity Meds has been connecting
prescription drug buyers with a mail-order pharmacy in Texas at prices the
businesses claim are at cost plus two small fees. "On name
brands, people can save some money, but on generics they're going to rub their
eyes and check it again," David Peoples, Integrity Meds founder and co-founder
of Rx Depot, said on Wednesday. "It's going to be a shock." The
Tulsa-based company connects customers to Carepharm, a mail order pharmacy in
New Boston, Texas. If the customer mentions Integrity Meds, they get medications
at cost, officials with both companies said. Integrity Meds gets
$1 per prescription from Carepharm, which gets new customers outside of the
Medicare patients it usually targets plus a $10 dispensing fee per
customer. "We believe so strongly in this program," Carepharm
founder and chief operating officer Dennis Schafer said. "People call us and
they can't believe what they can save." BJ Baker of Tulsa says
Integrity Meds saves him between $130 and $140 a month on the five prescriptions
he and his wife fill regularly. Three generic medications that once cost $105.
57 per month now cost him $16. 61, Baker says. "It's a
tremendous cost-saving," said Baker, 75, a telemarketer with chemical maker
DuPont Co. , who has no prescription drug benefit on the health coverage he
buys. Rx Depot, which Peoples founded with Carl Moore, faxed
prescriptions to pharmacies in Canada that sent the drugs directly to customers
at prices lower than they were available in the United States. A
federal judge shut down the company's 85 storefronts in November, ruling that Rx
Depot violated laws allowing only manufacturers to import drugs for sale. U.S.
District Judge Claire Eagan also said the safety of the imported drugs could not
be verified by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration. Rx Depot
appealed the decision to the 10th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver,
arguing that its stores were not actually importing any medications. But last
month the company dropped its effort to reopen the stores.
Schafer said Carepharm is licensed in Texas and other states and provides
only FDA-approved drugs that were manufactured and distributed
domestically. Schafer estimated he gets about 70% of his orders
now through Integrity Meds, which is helping to offset a smaller-than-expected
number of elderly patients buying drugs through Medicare's new drug
benefit. The U. S. attorney's office did not immediately return
a phone call seeking comment. FDA associate commissioner of policy and planning
William Hubbard said he was not familiar with Integrity Meds
operations. Peoples said the $1 fee is enough to cover the costs
of the handful of employees, fax machines and computers Integrity Meds has to
pay for. The company also charges a fee to help elderly and poor people
enrolling in drug manufacturer's programs that provide free maintenance drugs,
he said. "We're doing what we deem to be the best situation
that's allowed under the guidelines we all have to operate under," Peoples said.
"It's the dollar store concept. "

填空题ProfitEntrepreneurship is directly responsible for production The business person (entrepreneur) takes a cue from consumers in deciding what they want—or, in the case of a new product (8) Profit means different things to different people. According to some public opinion polls, many people are not sure what it is, but they are sure (9) Workers may look at profit as an unfairly large payment to the entrepreneur that deprives them of a higher wage. The business person thinks of profit (10) During negotiations before the settlement of the second baseball strike in August, 1985, the Players' Association claimed the owners had made profits of $ 91 million, an accounting firm said owner profits were $ 43 mil- lion, and the owners insisted they had lost $ 9 million. The truth was that all three were correct. The disparity in the figures was due to the fact that each group was defining profit differently. Let us now see if we can develop a more exact definition of what profit is.Gross profit is the difference between what a business firm sells its product for end what it costs to produce that product. The merchant buys $200,000 worth of merchandise during the year and sells it for $270,000. His gross profit is $ 70,000. The percentage difference between his cost and the selling price is 35 percent, and he calls this markup. Net profit is (11) —rent, wages, and interest—and setting aside money to allow for the loss due to depreciation (wearing out) of capital. Our merchant has to subtract from his gross profit his payments for rent ($ 6,0O0), wages ($ 20,000), interest on money borrowed ($1,000), repairs and upkeep ($1,000), taxes ($1,000), electricity and other expenses $1,000. Expenses for operating the business come to $ 30,000. Gross profit is $ 70, 000, and net profit is $40,000.Economists have a narrower definition of what constitutes profit. They are concerned with payment for all the resources that have gone into production (12) , like those listed above, or from inside the business.A what profit really meansB it is too large and represents too much of the consumer's dollarC as the difference between total revenue and total costD what the business person has left after paying expensesE what they might wantF productionG whether they come from outside the business

{{B}}Advice on Staff Career Development{{/B}} For many employees,
automatic promotion up the ranks of a company is becoming increasingly rare. A
new study suggests that, in response, employers need to consider how they can
help staff develop their careers. Employers need to rethink
their approach to career management completely, according to the latest research
by the Institute of Employment Studies. The new study finds that in fact there
is little opportunity for individual career development in many large
organizations. The main reasons for this, it concludes, are the recent cuts in
the number of middle-management posts, and the changes that have taken place in
the responsibilities of personnel departments. The Institute of Employment
Studies makes it clear that it is not good practice for companies to hand over
career development-to individual employees and then simply leave them to get on
with it. {{U}}(8) {{/U}} So how should employers help
their staff develop a career? Most employees have come to accept that career
development is not always the same thing as upward promotion and a higher
salary. {{U}}(9) {{/U}}They must also ensure that these opportunities
are extended to all their staff and not just to selected individuals.
Nick Bridges, who is Director of Human Resources Policy at the Bank of
Eastern England, believes there is more talk than action in this area.
{{U}}(10) {{/U}}One way, he believes, for companies to show how serious
they are about individual learning is lo make it an official part of company
practice, as the Bank of Eastern England has done. {{U}}(11) {{/U}}This
document, he points out, has made the role of managers clear, and the company
has also invested huge amounts of money educating managers so that they can then
train their staff. Another company, British Chemicals. has
contracted an independent organization to help staff with confidential career
advice. According to John rates, the head of Individual Learning and Development
at British Chemicals. there is an important role for outside agencies to play in
the career management process. He adds that it is company policy for managers to
give all staff 'roadmaps' which show possible career routes within the company
structure. {{U}}(12) {{/U}}This has worked especially well. he says, for
staff who are used to depending on their line managers for guidance.
Many large organizations now recognize that career development cannot be
regarded in isolation, and must be part of an overall business strategy. Human
Resources has a real role to play in building a strong workforce which meets a
company's long-term business needs and makes it more competitive.A. Its
policy statement says that by 2006, eighty percent of its stall' will have a
professional qualification.B. He argues that while Human Resources managers
are saying the way forward is through self-managed learning and
self-development, they are still failing to provide adequate learning
resources.C. This change of attitude means employers need to place more
emphasis on giving staff the chance to develop a range of skills through
horizontal job moves.D. It points out that employees need to know what the
overall company's vision is in order to achieve it.E. The problem that often
arises is that, while they are increasingly encouraged to manage their own
careers, they arc not provided with the knowledge and training to do this.F.
They are able to sec that, contrary to expectations, jobs in different fields
are similar, and they can also sec how it is possible to cross over to other
areas.G. The main reasons for this, it concludes, are the recent cuts in the
number of middle-management posts, and the changes that have taken place in the
responsibilities of personnel departments.

{{B}}SELLING A BUSINESS{{/B}}If you plan to sell your business,
be careful. There are an enormous number of traps awaiting the inexperienced
seller. Before giving out any information about the business to any potential
purchaser, make sure they have signed a confidentiality undertaking - that is, a
document promising not to make confidential information public. You do not want
a potential buyer using this confidential information either in the course of
negotiations or after negotiatiations have broken down. Many confidentiality
letters, however, have no legal value, so taking appropriate advice is
recommended.You should also consider your strategy for informing your staff
of the proposed sale. Most business owners want to keep the sale secret from
their employees until the deal has been completed - or at least until
negotiations are fairly advanced. {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}In
addition, you will need to produce a considerable amount of information about
the business and its running; for this you will require the cooperation of
senior management, who will therefore need to be informed of the sale. When
corresponding with a potential purchaser mark everything 'Subject to Contract'.
Contracts can be made accidentally and you do not want to be committed until a
formal contract, including all of the relevant terms, has been negotiated and
signed. To avoid this, many people negotiate a summary document which briefly
sets out the main conditions of the sale. These documents can be useful because
potential areas of dispute or disagreement can be seen in advance. {{U}}
{{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}Do remember, however, that a summary rarely
deals with all the points for discussion which are going to arise in the course
of negotiations.Make sure all your paperwork is in order. {{U}}
{{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}It is vital therefore that you ensure all
insurance policies, bank statements, finance documents, and employment, supplier
and customer contracts are well ordered and up to date. This will save everyone
a lot of time.In addition, make sure that all staff have up-to-date
contracts of employment. An employer must, by law, issue statements of terms of
employment to all employees within two months of their starting work. {{U}}
{{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}Even if you fail to issue them the buyer will
still expect you to be able to identify with certainty what the terms and
conditions are. The absence of written contracts makes that much more
difficult.You may also need the approval of people entirely external to the
business for the sale to take place. {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}}
{{/U}}Getting such agreement generally takes time, so you will need to move
quickly if a buyer wants it done before completing the deal.A. These protect
both the employer and the employee, and mean that there is certainty about those
terms and conditions.B. This is the extent to which you can profit from the
investment you have made in your business.C. A buyer will want to see vast
quantities of information and documentation on the business.D. The most
frequent example of this is when significant pieces of machinery and equipment
are subject to financing arrangements, and the consent of the financier is
necessary.E. They should be short and simple, and full agreement should be
negotiated with the buyer as soon as possible.F. This can be difficult,
though, and if staff find out about the sale it can unsettle them.G. You do
not want a potential buyer using this confidential information either in the
course of negotiations or after negotiations have broken down.
