填空题A Globalisation is an umbrella term for a complex series of economic, social, technological, cultural and political changes seen as increasing interdependence, integration and interaction between people and companies in disparate locations. As a term, "globalisation" has been used as early as 1944 but economists began applying it around 1982. Theodore Levitt is usually credited with its coining through the article he wrote in 1983 for the Harvard Business Review entitled "Globalisation of Markets". The more encompassing phenomenon has been perceived in the context of sociological study on a worldwide scale. B Inflation risk is whether a rate of return or an investment keeps up with the rate of inflation. For example, if there is 4 percent inflation over the year, you must have 4 percent more money at the end of the year than at the beginning of the year to buy the same amount of goods and services. That means your stock need to go up in value more than 4 percent to earn a return on your investment. Stocks have generally done very well in this category. C A Low-Carbon Economy (LCE) is an economy which has a minimal output of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the biosphere, but specifically refers to the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. Recently, most of scientific and public opinion has come to the conclusion that there is such an accumulation of CHGs (especially CO2) in the atmosphere due to anthropogenic causes, that the climate is changing. The over-concentrations of these gases is producing global warming that affects long-term climate, with negative impacts on humanity in the foreseeable future. Globally implemented LCE's therefore, are proposed as a means to avoid catastrophic climate change, and as a precursor to the more advanced, zero-carbon society and renewable-energy economy. D A web search engine, which is commonly named as "a search engine", is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web. The search results are usually presented in a list of results and are commonly called hits. The information may consist of web pages, images, information and other types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories. Unlike Web directories, which are maintained by human editors, search engines operate algorithmically or are a mixture of algorithmic and human input. E Cultural tourism (also called culture tourism or cultural heritage tourism) is the subset of tourism concerned with a country or region's culture, specifically the lifestyle of the people in those geographical areas, the history of those peoples, their art, architecture, religion, and other elements that help shape their way of life. Cultural tourism includes tourism in urban areas, particularly historic or large cities and their cultural facilities such as museums and theatres. It can also include tourism in rural areas showcasing the traditions of indigenous cultural communities (i. e. festivals, rituals), and their values and lifestyle.

填空题Private Employers Drastically Cut Job Creation Private employers drastically cut job creation during May 2010，according to a government report released on Friday． Initially，the report appeared to show positive trends in the job market，with 431，000 jobs being added across the US-the highest figure since March 2000．On the surface the employment figures look great，but that beauty was only skin-deep．Within the private sector，only 41，000 jobs were created． (9) Although the 411，000 people hired by the Census did help to boost the economy and drive down unemployment rates，these jobs will no longer exist after the Census has been completed． (10) The survey also revealed that the number of persons employed part-time for economic reasons declined by 343，000 in May to 8.8 million． (11) And now that private employers have cut job creation so severely，it seems this trend is set to continue for some time． Statistics also reinforced the lasting effects of the recession and the long road to recovery that the US labour market is still slowly travailing． (12) And there are still approximately 15 million people who want to be working but cannot find a job． (13) Construction employers．for example，added 41，000 jobs in March and April after months of decline，but then eliminated 35．000 of these jobs in May．Wall Street viewed the latest figures as extremely disappointing． (14) In fact，industry analysts believe that unemployment will remain high for at least two years and，according to an Associated Press-GFK Poll， only one in five members of the American public considers the economy in good condition． A. Some sectors that were growing are now shirking again. B. On the surface the employment figures look great, but that beauty was skin-deep. C. Therefore 431,000 jobs being added to nothing to improve the nation's economy in the long run. D.

The national unemployment rate, which is calculated using a separate household survey, fell only moderately, to 9.7 percent in May from 9.9 percent in April. F. It is far less than the 218,000 added in April, and the 180,000 jobs private sector employers had anticipated. G. These individuals were working part-time because their hours had been cut back or because they were unable to find a full-time job. H. It is a possible indicator that recovery from the recession has come a standstill.

Despite the market pressures, Murrayhill remained profitable and had even diversified its distribution channels by establishing direct mail cataloging in the late 1970s. Murrayhill survived by producing a premium-quality product that was difficult to duplicate and that appealed to a narrow market segment willing to pay high prices for Murrayhill quality. As fashion became a more important component of men's shoe purchasing behavior and casual styles became more popular, the company broadened its product line to include several fashionable and light-weight styles that retained the famous Murrayhill quality.{{U}} (9) {{/U}}In 1985, the men's premium shoe market was considered to include brands with a price range of $ 75 or higher. Murrayhill, Inc. Hohnston & Murphy, E.T. Wright & Company, Alien Edmonds, and Florsheim were the major domestic manufacturers producing premium shoes. Measuring market share within the industry was difficult because so many of the manufacturers were private companies, like Murrayhill.{{U}} (10) {{/U}}Alien Edmonds, headquartered in Wisconsin, relied primarily on nonproprietary retail outlets for its distribution. Its advertising was sizable, with expenditures in $1 million to $2 million range.{{U}} (11) {{/U}}.Alien Edmonds also operated a small direct mail catalog business, the majority of whose costs were handled by Edmonds's retail accounts. E.T. Wright & Company, headquartered in Massachusetts, operated an extensive direct mail business and, like Murrayhill, relied on non-proprietary distribution.{{U}} (12) {{/U}}Florsheim's product line covered several price points, including those in the premium market. Florsheim was, by far, the strongest competitor, with an estimated market share of 18 percent and both non-proprietary retail distribution channels. Hanover, a medium priced shoe manufacturer, also was noted for its direct distribution system.{{U}} (13) {{/U}}.Imports accounted for a 50 percent share of the total men's shoe market. Bally, the strongest competitor, was the leading imported brand in this market before 1975 and maintained a market share of close to 25 percent at that time. By 1985, other imported brands included Baker Benjes, Cole Ham, Ferragamo, Bruno Magli, and Church's.{{U}} (14) {{/U}}.Most of the imported brands were lighter in weight and designed to appeal to more fashion-conscious consumers. A The continued labor intensity of shoe manufacturing made the industry vulnerable to lowe-priced imports. B In addition, these companies were not always in direct competition because distribution channels differed. C Despite the market pressures, Murrayhill remained profitable and had even diversified its distribution channels by establishing direct mail cataloging in the late 1970s. D Johnston & Murrayhill, on the other hand, operated proprietary retail outlets and experimented in the mail order business for both men's and ladies' premium shoes. E Most of this was spent promoting brand name awareness to consumers. F The company owned over 100 proprietary retail stores, operated a successful mail order business, and produced private label footwear for J.C. Penney&Sears, Roebuck department stores. G The imported products differed from the domestic premium brands, however. H Nonetheless, Murrayhill faced several strong domestic competitors and unrelenting price competition from imports.

填空题A. Commitment: Developing export markets can be costly in terms of time, money have the commitment required to make a success of export? Entering new markets and developing them usually takes considerable time and effort. You must take a long-term view. Consider how many resources and how long it takes to break into a new regional market in Australia. The time and cost can be multiplied several times when you are looking at an overseas market.B. Finance: Breaking into any new markets requites considerable funds (airfares, accommodation, advertising, sales promotion, new brochures, training of overseas sales agent, etc.). Does your company have the financial strength to commit say $ 30,000 or more for the year or two it may take to develop a new overseas market? Discusses your plans with the international Department of your bank to ensure that all the financial aspects are covered and viable. Gain an understanding of international trade finance. Discuss costing-for-export with your accountant, and transport/packaging requirements with a customs agent or forwarding agent.C. Become familiar with common terms used in international trade. The Australian Trade Commission (AUSTRADE) and the major trading banks have reference booklets. The Australian Institute of Expert provides courses.D. Select one or two likely markets and undertake desk research to identify their characteristics. Most first-time exporters start with New Zeatand. Many are also interested in the USA, but that is an enormous and complex market. In making a detailed market study the following should be considered: ·whether the country selected already imports the product (import statistics will show how much and from where) ·what import duties the product would attract ·other barriers to imports, such as import licensing ·frequency and cost of shipping or airfreight between Australia and the market ·regulations, such as quarantine and labeling standards, consumer protection rules, and product standards ·whether cultural differences need to be taken into account. 'Read economic and social literature on the target market to understand its fundamental characteristics.E. The desk research should have indicated the market with the most potential and you should now be in a good position to visit the target market. The main purpose of the visit will be to study its special characteristics, the opportunities/competition at first hand, seek a suitable agent or distributor, and jointly draw up an appropriate marketing plan to introduce and expand the sale of your product. These are all very important considerations, and more than one visit will probably be necessary. Choosing the right agent, for most Companies, is probably the single most important step. Do not rush this step.
