{{B}}MACROECONOMIC
POLICIES{{/B}}For most countries, the following four principal objectives of
economic policy would apply: (1) Maintenance of employment at a high level. (2)
Stable prices. (3) Economic growth. (4) Balance of payments equilibrium. These
objectives are sometimes extremely difficult to achieve. A high level of
employment, for example, tended to push wages and hence prices up. It also
created an imbalance between exports and imports. Furthermore the competition
among firms for labor tended to reduce labor productivity since workers were not
always fully employed.Government will differ in the emphasis they place on
each of the above objectives. {{U}}(8) {{/U}}. At times when inflation
was high, great stress was placed on bringing it down, but this had severe
effects on jobs and on economic growth. The pursuit of an expansionary policy
very often resulted in an increase in GDP and a fall in the level of
unemployment; but was accompanied by a marked rise in the rate of inflation and
a serious balance of payments deficit.In carrying out its economic policy,
the government uses two principal means--fiscal policy and monetary policy.
{{U}}(9) {{/U}} Monetary policy is broadly neutral in its effects whilst
fiscal and other measures can be used more discriminately--the redistribution of
incomes and lower rates of corporation tax for small businesses are two
examples.Government regulation of the money supply is important for economic
stability. Banks will wish to keep excess reserves when they do not foresee
profitable and secure opportunities to make loans. This is likely to happen
during the downswing and around the bottom of a business contraction.
{{U}}(10) {{/U}}During a recession, profit-oriented banks tend to
reduce the money supply by increasing their excessive reserves if the central
banks did not intervene. {{U}}(11) {{/U}}.On the other hand, banks
will want to squeeze possible money supply out of any given amount of cash
reserves by keeping their reserves at the bare minimum when the demand for bank
loans is buoyant, profits are high, and many investments suddenly start to look
profitable. {{U}}(12) {{/U}} The authorities must intervene to prevent
this. The monetary authorities can exercise monetary control in two ways: either
they can attempt to control interest (i. e. the price of money) or they can
endeavor to control the money supply.A Fiscal policy is concerned with
taxation, subsidies and government spending; monetary policy, in contrast, is
concerned with interest rates, the money supply and bank lending.B As
the money supply is an important influence on aggregate demand such a
contraction of money supply would exacerbate the severity of the recession.C
This reduced incentive to hold excess reserves in prosperous times means
that during an economic boom, the behavior of profit-oriented banks is likely to
make the money supply expand, adding undesirable momentum to the booming economy
and paving the way for a burst of inflation.D These objectives are
sometimes extremely difficult to achieve.E When this occurs, the
prosperity of banks to hold excess reserves will turn the money creation process
into one of the money destruction.F For many years the main emphasis
was on employment and balance of payments, but this adversely affected the
pursuit of stable prices and economic growth.G When adopting monetary
policy, the central bank usually takes action to change the equilibrium of the
money market, that is, to alter the money supply, move the interest rate, or do
both.

The Body Shop--A New Kind of International Business{{/B}} The Body
Shop--good to its employees, its customers, the environment, worthy causes and
the Third World--has pioneered a new kind of corporate culture, and made a great
deal of money at the same time. When Anita Roddick, the founder of The Body
Shop, is asked questions about her company, it is clear that she is passionate
about the good work that The Body Shop does at the same time that it is a
corporate business. Auckland businessman Roger Lampen of the job search Lampen
Group Ltd says he's inspired by what he has read and heard about
Roddick. "Her level of passion and commitment is what's really
required in business now," he says. {{U}}(8) {{/U}} By all accounts, the
huge British company, which makes and sells skin and hair-care products around
the world, is Good to employees: they are encouraged to have fun
to challenge management, to put love where their labour is; Good
to customers: they can sample products with in-store "testers" and buy small
bottles to start with; they are given information about ingredients; they are
offered refills at a discount; Good to the Third World: Anita
Roddick, who runs the company, spends months each year traveling to remote
regions to study the people's skin and hair care.{{U}} (9)
{{/U}} Good to charities and worthy causes: Amnesty
International, Romanian orphanages and the threatened rainforests of South
America are among many beneficiaries of money, million-signature petitions,
supplies, volunteers, membership sign-ups, shop-window campaigns;
Good to the environment: The Body Shop uses minimal packaging, recycles
almost everything in sight and battles pollution. In one Body Shop paper-making
business in Nepal, paper is made from water hyacinths that used to clog
waterways, and from specially planted banana palms that have helped stop erosion
and provide food. Residue from the paper-making is used to make pots for trans-
planting much-needed trees. {{U}}(10) {{/U}}. While
Roddick might say nasty things about some of the Body Shop shareholders--she
loathes uncaring "speculators" who are just in for a quick profit--the company
has certainly been good for their bank accounts. Since the shares were floated,
in 1981, their price has increased almost 100--fold, says Fortune magazine.
{{U}}(11) {{/U}} Asked in a phone interview about how the Body Shop is
likely to fare when Roddick retires, he says, "A couple of thousand years ago,
you might have asked," What's going to happen to Christianity if Jesus Christ
dies? If Anita Roddick goes, the Body Shop could potentially become even
stronger. The corporate culture is very strong." {{U}}(12) {{/U}}
Roddick gets angry about suspicious questioning "Anyone claiming to be
altruistic is considered suspect." But, in a phone interview while she is
visiting the Madison Avenue, New York, Body Shop, she gives some
answers.A But first let's look at what makes The Body Shop seem
just too good to be true.B One London stock analyst, John Richards of
Country Natwest, even compares Roddick to Christ.C All this, plus jobs
and income!D She has set up several Third World suppliers under a
"Trade not Aid" policy;E Still, no person and no business is
perfect.F Auckland businessman Roger Lampen of the job search Lampen
Group Ltd says he's inspired by what he has read and heard about Roddick.G

填空题Managing Along the Cutting Edge Some CEOs try to sound hopeful by talking up the great opportunities they're seeing as a result of the downturn—to steal a market share, make acquisitions or take 34 advantage of weakened competitors. There is, in fact, a long history of younger 35 companies that took into root and sprouted during hard times, consultants of Scott Anthony 36 point to firms like Home Depot, Best Buy and Google that had made big gains during 37 the last three recessions. CEOs can also set the stage for the growth by protecting 38 key to R&D investments even as they cut budgets. Companies that cut back on 39 research and new product of development do so at their peril, says Intel Chairman 40 Craig Barrett. But the extent to which companies can use the downturn to be their 41 advantage it varies tremendously by industry. There are some firms that will clearly 42 emerge from the crisis with a strengthened hand because of a rival's wrong missteps. 43 for example, Best Buy and Bed Bath & Beyond can't help but pick up sales that 44 would have once gone to Circuit City and Linens'n Things, both going on through 45 liquidation. But in sectors like the auto industry, where every player is struggling, there may be few winners.

Hotelkeepers should take note because they are facing serious
criticism! Women account for more than half of all business travelers, but
hotels are not doing enough for them. This is evident from the results of a
questionnaire distributed to hotel guests by the Business Travel Association.
These show that the number of complaints made about the way women guests are
treated is increasing. The Harbor Hotel in Hong Kong also
conducted a recent survey of. Hong Kong's businesswomen, which reveals that 70%
feel they receive an inferior service.{{U}} (8) {{/U}}The attitude of
hotel staff made them feel out of place in public areas: for example. 62% chose
to eat in their rooms because they were made to feel uncomfortable by staff when
dining alone.{{U}} (9) {{/U}}Four years ago, for example, a similar
survey had revealed that a significant number of women traveling alone and
wishing to use the hotel restaurant were actually turned away.
Many of the suggestions for improved services put forward by the Business
Travel Association are relatively simple.{{U}} (10) {{/U}}Placing tables
in restaurants in a way that allows the head waiter to introduce guests to one
another, so they can choose to sit together over a meal, was a further
suggestion. Guests in the dining room would then have the opportunity to meet up
with others who might, for example, be attending the same conference, or have
the same business interests. Wendy Wang, Executive Manager of
the Harbor Hotel, agreed with the Business Travel Association that hotel star
ratings should be influenced by the level of service they offer lo female
business guests.{{U}} (11) {{/U}}Our survey highlighted the
unwillingness of many women to air their views if they are treated badly, '
Wendy Wang pointed out. A group of influential businesswomen
recently met to discuss the results of the Business Travel Association
questionnaire. They suggested that businesswomen should not hesitate to make it
clear if they have a problem.{{U}} (12) {{/U}}Once clients have gone. it
is all too easy all the issue to be ignored by hotel managers, and it will also
be forgotten by the overworked business executives themselves.A. The hotel
staff assumed they should be booked into the same room.B. But there is clear
evidence that things are slowly improving.C. This would enable women to make
an informed choice about a hotel, and they would not be placed in the
uncomfortable position of having to complain about poor service.D. It is
advisable for them to do this during their stay rather than waiting until they
check out.E. Making sure that facilities in guest bedrooms eater equally to
the needs of male and female guests is one such idea.F. Most of the women,
when questioned further, thought that the reason for this was that they were
female and traveling alone.G. This is evident from the results of a
questionnaire distributed to hotel guests by the Business Travel
Association.
