填空题 A In terms of efficiency,
not size, the advertising industry is only now starting to grow out of its
century-long infancy, which might be called "the Wanamaker era" . It was John
Wanamaker, a devoutly Christian merchant from Philadelphia, who in the 1870s not
only invented department stores and price tags(to eliminate haggling, since
everybody should be equal before God and price), but also became the first
modern advertiser when he bought space in newspapers to promote his stores. He
went about it in a Christian way, neither advertising on Sundays nor
fibbing(thus minting the concept of "truth in advertising" ).
B The website is readily available to any consumer with
a computer, and in this day and age, includes the majority of consumers
throughout the world. There are no additional costs in reaching the expanded
global markets. Since the Internet advertising extends to the global audience
anytime, the chances of potential customers are more and hence the profit margin
is also on the higher side. The bottom line is that the advantages of Internet
advertising is much more than that of its traditional print forerunner, in
lessened costs, availability, expanded consumer markets, and largely in the
overall profit margin. C The best way
to distinguish between advertising and marketing is to think of marketing as a
pie, inside that pie you have slices of advertising, market research, media
planning, public relations, product pricing, distribution, customer support,
sales strategy, and community involvement. Advertising only equals one piece of
the pie in the strategy. All of these elements must not only work independently
but also work together towards the bigger goal. Marketing is a process that
takes time and can involve hours of research for a marketing plan to be
effective. Think of marketing as everything that an organisation does to
facilitate an exchange between the company and consumers.
D The advantages of print media enable you to send in
the copy and have it displayed on the section you want within a few days. If it
is a classified ad, this can be just 48 hours. The beauty of print media
advertising is that you can be as creative as you wish, as long as you follow
the guidelines set out by the newspaper. This will usually exclude nudity and
strong sexual references in the copy and publishers will usually adhere to
advertising standards legislation. E
You write ads, based on relevant keywords for your business—these are displayed
on search results pages and websites within that network. If someone types in a
keyword/phrase relevant to your business and that matches your advert criteria,
your ad will then show on the page. If someone clicks on your ad, you will be
charged a fee based on the cost per click value you set for that advert.
Therefore, it is important to make the advert clear, so to avoid wasted clicks
from people who misunderstood your message.

填空题The Role of an HR Manager Fundamentally, a human resource manager develops a company's culture, maintains benefits and payroll, and recruits new hires. The HR manager is a crucial position for any corporation, in every industry. For those with enthusiasm and an aptitude for working well with people, HR can offer many exciting choices. HR professionals enjoy a range of career options from recruiting, to training and development, to labor relations and benefits administration. It is important to understand what your various HR career options are and how they work. (9) HR specialists focus their efforts in a single area, such as recruiting or training. Generalists are less focused and handle a number of areas and tasks simultaneously. As a rule of thumb, small organizations and companies have one or more HR generalists who handle all HR issues. Larger organizations, on the other hand. have many specialists devoted to particular areas and services. According to the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM), specialists play roles in four main areas. They may be involved in recruiting and managing new employees. (10) They are professionals handling employee and labour relations. They are responsible for company health, safety and security. SHRM defines a generalist's position to include everything from staffing the organization, to managing a diverse work force, to developing personnel policies and procedures. You can switch between a generalist position and specialist position. (11) As you spend more time in the industry, your skills and interests will become more focused and your expertise in certain areas will be valued, so career changes may become more challenging. Therefore, it is a good idea to explore all possibilities as early as possible in your HR career. Matt Aspin. a board member of the Society of Human Resource Management says that many junior positions are in recruiting and administrative roles. 'As recruiters,' Aspin says, 'young HR professionals will most likely be able to interact with HR generalists and decide whether it is something they are interested in. ' But there is no set path to follow; it is all about what you want to do. (12) For example, a junior recruiter can work his or her way up to a senior position, such as Director of Recruiting or Vice President of Talent Acquisition. (13) Training and development can also be another rewarding area of specialty. Here you can enjoy the excitement of ensuring that employees stay updated with the latest developments in technology and workplace practices. (14) It is popularly believed that generalists who have their hands in multiple areas often stay the sharpest. But ultimately, Aspin concludes, your area of concentration will ' depend on your interests' and ' you will naturally be attracted by it and move toward it'.A.They may specialize in training and developing new employees.B.He adds that some HR professionals start and end their careers in highly specialized roles.C.The opportunities in HR management are truly varied and plentiful.D.Two key terms in the human resource management sector are ' generalist' and ' specialist'E.A larger organization may also have HR generalists devoted to managing employee relations.F.For those who enjoy being a 'jack-of-all-trades', becoming a generalist is the way to go.G.However, it is always easier to make such moves early in your career.H.For those with enthusiasm and an aptitude for working well with people, HR can offer many exciting choices.

When we began the very first research for The Social Media Bible we asked 1,000 people to participate. The first discovery was that they didn"t want just another business book. A typical business book is 250 pages, 60,000 words, 20 chapters, 3,000 words per chapter. It"s a formula. I"ve written five of them.
What they said was, "First, we want a business book that shows the tactics of social media." What are blogs? What"s a podcast? What"s a Vlog? What"s all this stuff about micro-blogging and Twitter? Second, they wanted a guide. They told me, give us all the companies that actually offer all of these services; who they are, how they started.

They said that "Now that I know the tactics and the tools, how do we apply them to their businesses? How do we develop a strategy?"
John Wiley they are happy to do it. More than 300 people out of the 1,000 asked to participate as reviewers and collaborators. Ask your customers to participate in your brand, get them engaged. and ask them to be collaborators in your offering.
A Every one of these experts participated in three, four, five pages and even the editing of every chapter of the book.
B Isn"t that what marketing is supposed to accomplish?
C A typical business book is 250 pages, 60,000 words, 20 chapters, 3,000 words per chapter.
D In the book, I reached out to the top people in the social media industry throughout the world to talk about their personal experiences with social media.
E Once you have them convinced that the book will change the way they do business for the better, they will buy it in droves.
F Last, they wanted a third business book, which was a book on strategy.

owners. Choose one sentence (A-H) to go in each gap (1-6). (One sentence is not

financial plan profitable Create a financial
plan: Estimate how much revenue you expect to bring in each month, and
project what your expenses will be. If you need it, get help from business
planning books, software, F. Review the plan
monthly: Even if time is taken to prepare a financial plan with profit
and loss projections, it often sits in a desk drawer. {{U}} {{U}}
11 {{/U}} {{/U}}; you have to review it regularly.
Lost profits can't be recovered: When comparing your
projections to reality and finding earnings too low or expenses too high, the
conclusion often is, 'I'll make it up later.' The problem is that you really
can't make it up later. {{U}} {{U}} 12 {{/U}} {{/U}}.
Make adjustments right away: If revenues are lower than
expected, increase efforts in sales and marketing or look for ways to increase
your rates. If overhead costs are too high, find ways to cut back. There are
other businesses like yours around. {{U}} {{U}} 13 {{/U}}
{{/U}} Think before you spend: When considering
any new business expense, including marketing and sales activities, evaluate the
increased earnings you expect to bring in against its cost before you proceed to
make a purchase. Don't be afraid to hire:
Retailers and restaurateurs wouldn't consider operating without employees, but
many service businesses limit themselves by being understaffed. {{U}}
{{U}} 14 {{/U}} {{/U}}. You can better use your talents for
generating revenue than for running errands and filing.
Pay yourself a salary: If you are incorporated, you may already
be doing this. {{U}} {{U}} 15 {{/U}} {{/U}}. Each month that
your business meets its profitability goal, pay yourself the full amount. When
you miss your target, dock your 'pay' and when you exceed it, pay yourself a
'bonus'. It's about profit, not revenue: It
doesn't matter how many thousands of dollars you are bringing in each month if
your expenses are almost as high, or higher. {{U}} {{U}} 16
{{/U}} {{/U}}. Don't be one of them. A. Almost any business
can benefit from hired or contracted help B. Every month
profits are too low is a month that is gone forever C. When you
get your annual tax bill, it may be too late D. If not,
allocate an amount to owner's compensation on a monthly basis

Professor Kumar Bhattacharyya, founder and head of Warwick Manufacturing
Group (WMG), and Rob Meakin, a personnel director at Marconi, have developed a
