填空题BPART ONE/B·Look at these sentences and the four
paragraphs.·Which dip A, B, C or D does each sentence 1-7 refer to?·For
each sentence 1-7, mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet.·You
will need to use some of the letters more than once.
BA/BGet as much information about the client as possible—annual
reports company periodicals, publicity. Sometimes there is a point of contact,
i.e. someone who is involved in drafting the request for proposals and who can
answer technical questions about the form and content of your proposal. Call the
person—they may reveal some information that, can give you a competitive edge or
at least a more customised approach to solving the prospective client's problem.
Sometimes they ever, have a checklist of items they look for in each proposal
and will be prepared to tell you about it if you ask.BB/BProposals
are evaluated by a wide range of readers, from top management to technical
evaluators to budget analysers. These readers will focus on different sections
of a proposal, perhaps missing out whole segments, All readers, however, should
be able to evaluate the first section of a proposal, which is a summary of the
document. The length can vary greatly—it may sometimes be only one paragraph but
in a very formal report it may run to several pages.BC/BThe worst
thing you can de is offer value judgements which the client can refute. You want
to seem serious, fair, objective and factual. Only after you build a foundation
of fact can you offer a few judgements. Otherwise, you are likely to invite the
reader to take issue with you. The facts are your findings and should be
labelled as such: opinions are conclusions and should be labelled that way. If
you use adjectives like 'powerful', 'wide-ranging', 'significant', etc., make
sure you support them with details.BD/BIn proposal writing there is
a tendency to rely on standard formats, i.e. static, standard sentences,
paragraphs or pages that seem to fit all situations and do not change from
proposal to proposal. No-company sees itself as being like any other and so the
last thing you want is for a prospective client to believe you are just
recycling old solutions. You must try to create (the ideas to fit the needs of
the particular client and try not to copy old ideas because you cannot be
bothered to generate new ones).
填空题Marketing Segmentation A Market segmentation means dividing a market for goods or services into distinct subdivisions. It takes a vague undistinguished group of consumers and uncovers those who have similar needs, those who make purchases or use products or services in the same. A market segment is a subgroup of people sharing similar consumer characteristics. And because each segment shares the same attitudes and behaviors, they generally respond the same to a given marketing strategy. B Markets can be divided in many ways. Small segments are sometimes called niche or specialty markets. One broad distinction is between industrial (business) and consumer markets. Despite overlaps in approach, the segmentation processes for these two separate markets can be quite distinct. Market also involves helping to choose which segments to focus on, or designing an appropriate set of ways to approach each market segment, or planning ways and methods to address the competition. C After identifying similar groups among customers and potential customers, the next goal of market segmentation is to prioritise which groups to address so as to best maximize market results. And then, to craft appropriate marketing strategies that satisfy the different consumers' preferences of each segment. D The process of market segmentation is to study, define, attract, serve and hold segment or segments of the market which the company can most effectively and profitably address. Since the needs of customers, and how they decide between to choose one product or service over another, are shared by similar individuals in a segment, companies can use that to find groups of consumers that share those similar buying habits and criteria and study them in depth and address and satisfy them better. In that way the company can determine which groups of customers it can best and most profitably serve and which of its products and services can outstrip the competition in dominating that target market.
填空题· Which businessman (A, B, C or D) does each statement (1-7) refer to?·
For each statement (1-7), mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer
Sheet.· You will need to use some of these letters more than once.{{B}}A James King: Chief Executive of Fentons Finance{{/B}}King
was nominated for the quality of his leadership, with the judges claiming that
the Fentons Finance boss is almost revered by his team. He is credited with
reinventing Fentons Finance - revitalising its culture of inflexibility,
removing outdated pre-merger barriers and playing a brilliant tactical game. He
led everyone to believe he was opposed to large mergers and then jumped on the
Westcombe Bank opportunity at just the right moment. History will be the judge,
but for now the markets consider King to be a star.{{B}}B Keith Nash:
Chief Executive of Hamley's Supermarkets{{/B}}Nash took over as CEO when
Hamley's systems and distribution were out of date and the brand badly needed
freshening up. He began refocusing the brand at the higher quality end of the
food market and launched several own-brand initiatives for the health conscious.
As a result, the share price has gone up nearly 80 per cent. This should be
extremely satisfying for Nash, who had left the retailer in 1986, disappointed
after failing to secure the top job.{{B}}C Jorge Marquez: Chairman of
the Kenwick Group{{/B}}Marquez was a popular choice for his achievements at
Kenwick. The judges say he has been courageous in pushing through the
appointment of controversial or inexperienced chief executives to companies
within the group, and then sponsoring them as they transformed their businesses.
He operates as a 'virtual' chairman, without a permanent office in any one
company. He phones his CEOs regularly, and several of them have acknowledged the
vital contribution he makes to their effectiveness. Everyone is impressed at how
he also finds the time to be chairman of two other large
companies.{{B}}D Richard Jenkins: Finance Director of Centron
Advertising{{/B}}Labouring in the shadow of a high-profile boss can sometimes
draw attention away from the finance director, and the judges considered it was
high time Jenkins got that attention. The CEO may be the public face of Centron,
but Jenkins is the one who makes it run smoothly. Behind the scenes, he is
constantly demonstrating that budgets and forecasts are what is needed to make a
company successful, particularly now that the advertising market has been hit by
recession. It is largely thanks to him that Centron is in much better shape than
its rivals.

填空题The Coaching Industry: A Work in Progress There's no question that future leaders will need constant coaching and the coaching industry badly needs someone to define the profession. Four experts give their comments on a survey about coaching industry. A Ram Charan As the survey results demonstrate, what we think of coaching today is generally a service to middle managers provided by entrepreneurs with a background in consulting, psychology or human resources. This kind of coaching became popular over the past five years because companies faced a shortage of talent and were concerned about turnover among key employees. Firms wanted to signal their commitment to developing their high—potential executives, so they hired coaches. The kind of coaches I am talking about will do more than influence behaviour; they will be an essential part of the leader's learning process, providing knowledge, opinions and judgment in critical areas. B David B. Peterson In the survey, only 3% of the coaches said they were hired primarily to address non-work issues, yet more than three-quarters of the coaches reported having gotten into personal territories at some time. It underscores the fact that for most executives, work and life cannot be kept entirely separate. Many of them feel some strain on their personal lives. Not surprisingly, therefore, the more coaches can tap into a leader's motivation to improve his or her home life, the greater and more lasting the impact of the coaching is likely to be at work. C Michael Maccoby The survey shows more than half of the coaches think their clients do not become overly dependent, which is, in my view, unrealistic. Coaches have an economic incentive to ignore the problem of dependency, creating a potential conflict of interest. It's natural for them to want to expand their business, but the best coaches, like the best therapists, put their clients' interests first. What this means for the companies is that before they hire a coach, they should ask him how he handles dependency in relationships. D Anthony M. Grant According to the majority of coaches in our survey, coaching differs dramatically from therapy. However, the notion that candidates for coaching are mentally robust flies in the face of academic research. I'm not suggesting most executives who engage in coaching have mental health disorders. But some might, and coaching those who have unrecognised mental health problems can be counterproductive and even dangerous. Firms should require that coaches have some training in mental health issues——for example, an understanding of when to refer client to professional therapists for help.
填空题Ethics and Mission Statement
As business emerged from the profit-oriented in 1980s, values and social responsibilities were being emphasized on corporate mission statements.

Because greed was out, and ethics were in. Business and their employees

became actively engaged in less activities that contributed to their communities.

To spell out their goals, companies were increasingly developed codes of ethics.

Mission statements that were written because they required consensus and

commitment. Not everyone who, however, agreed with the trend toward the

Friedman contended, "Many Few trends could so thoroughly undermine the very

A. Walger, the bus maker, has entered into a joint venture with IMCO Bus
Corporation to participate in coachbuilding operations in Mexico. The two
companies have just announced the $70 million acquisition of Mexican Coachworks,
the largest bus and coach builder in Mexico, with 2,400 employees and three
factories. Walger retains a 60% interest in the coachbuilding venture. Analysts
have expressed surprise, given the current exchange rate.B. Jetline Airports
has said that it spent £2.1 million on its failed attempt to dispose of its
duty-free retail division. The chief executive said the company's six-month
search for a buyer ran up heavy consultancy expenses which left half-year
pre-tax profits at £4.5 million. It also emerged that the Director of Finance
received a £500,000 settlement when he left the company.C. GRD, the
manufacturing giant, plans to cut 1,500 jobs at its Portland factory over the
next five years after union refusal to increase productivity. A company
representative said that although they have invested more than $42 million in
the new plant and improved technology, the trade unions are still unwilling to
increase output. As a result, GRD have been forced to downsize the Portland
plant.D. Maybrooke, the Scottish department store, reported a fall in
trading profits in the first half of the year from £545,000 to £462,000, on
sales which were down two per cent. They blame the disappointing first half on
the strength of the pound, which hit the company's tourist business, as well as
an increase in traffic and parking problems in the city centre, and the growth
of out-of-town shopping centres.
