Involving staff in management buy-out (MBO) negotiations can help smooth the path for the future, Employees are becoming increasingly familiar with the fluctuations and instability that their working environments can present. It's not just mergers and acquisitions that can upset the situation. Internal MBOs can also be particularly unsettling for employees. In some cases, the MBO takes place to save an ailing company. In others, it is the result of senior management and board disagreements, or is to prevent a hostile takeover bid, {{U}}(9) {{/U}}. This insecurity can be very damaging, One of the most important factors, often not considered during the process of an MBO, is the reaction of the workforce, yet it is those employees who more often than not can make or break the future success of any new management team. {{U}}(10) {{/U}}. By maintaining channels of communication across the floor, new management teams could find the rank and file a useful ally in the bid to take over. Showing those employees that a buy-out could be to their advantage, creating new opportunities for promotion or career development, will in the long-term be advantageous to the entire company. The challenge for new management should be to reinspire employees. {{U}}(11) {{/U}}.

If the new team can find innovative ways to involve staff actively in various aspects of the buy-out process, the benefits are manifold. {{U}}(14) {{/U}}.

填空题Hiring Wisely Evaluating a person's relational abilities is a bit more difficult. Try the following techniques to ferret out a candidate's skills in the four dimensions of interpersonal work. If you find yourself wanting to hire the candidate regardless of his talents, he's probably a master in the influence dimension. Some other signs to look for include a history of being elected to leadership positions and a broad and deep professional network -- especially outside the person's current place of employment. People who score high on influence frequently serve on the boards of relevant professional and social organizations. During the interview, pose questions with no right answer and then assess how confidently and persuasively the candidate expresses himself. (9) Did it have anything to do with influencing a decision? When you want to assess a candidate's adeptness at interpersonal facilitation, try asking him to describe a work situation in which two people were in conflict. (10) Next, look for evidence of broad and deep personal and professional networks, especially inside his current place of employment. (11) Finally, ask him to describe a job that he wouldn't want to do--not for lack of competence but for personal reasons. Would that position require an uncomfortable level of toughness toward other people, such as managing a turnaround in which a number of employees will lose their jobs? To determine whether someone is relationally creative, start by having him describe a favorite advertising campaign, slogan, or image, and then have him explain why he loved it and found it so effective. Ask the candidate to describe a time when he was "in the flow"-- so immersed in his work that he lost track of time- and see whether he cites a task that required a high level of relational creativity. (12) People who score high in this dimension frequently give creative or offbeat answers. (13) So be sure to ask the candidate about activities outside work and see if he holds a leadership role in any of them. Ask him, too, to describe his ideal job. Probe for details such as how many people he would be interacting with and in what way. Next, have him describe the best customer service operation he's ever experienced, either as an employee or as a customer. Notice how excited he gets while discussing it. (14) Is he someone who inspires you to go out and give it your all? If so, he's got a special talent in the team leadership dimension.A And since most people who excel in this dimension participate in some kind of good cause, ask him to talk about his experiences in that realm.B If you find yourself wanting to hire the candidate regardless of his talents, he's probably a master in the influence dimension.C Another way to gauge his interest and ability in this dimension is to ask about a peak moment he's had at work.D People talented in this area usually have a long history of involvement with groups -- for instance, sports teams or social clubs.E In fact, pay close attention to how much energy and enthusiasm the person exhibits during your conversation generally.F Finally, ask what other careers he has considered.G Someone who's talented in this dimension will offer an insightful explanation of what might have been going on under the surface of the disagreement.H People who are skillful in this respect are more talkative and persuasive.

填空题Understanding Corporate Culture Every time people come together with a shared purpose, culture is created. This group of people could be a family, neighbourhood, project team, or company. Culture is automatically created (31) of the combined thoughts, energies, and attitudes of the people in the group. I often compare culture (32) electricity. Culture is an energy force that becomes woven through the thinking. behaviour, and identity of those within the group. Culture is powerful and invisible and its manifestations are far reaching. Culture determines a company's dress code, work environment, work hours, rules for getting ahead and getting promoted, how the business world is viewed, (33) is valued, who is valued, and much more. Culture shows up in (34) visible and invisible ways. Some manifestations of this energy field called "culture" (35) easy to observe. You can see the dress code, work environment, perks, and titles in a company. This is the surface layer of culture. (36) are only some of the visible manifestations of culture. The far (37) powerful aspects of culture are invisible. The cultural core is (38) of the beliefs, values, standards, paradigms, worldviews, moods, internal conversations, and private conversations of the people that are part of the group. This is the foundation for all actions and decisions within a team, department, or organisation. Business leaders often assume that their company's vision, values, and strategic priorities are synonymous (39) their company's culture. Unfortunately, too often, the vision, values, and strategic priorities may only be words hanging (40) a plaque on the wall.

填空题A The CPI surged 8.7 percent in February year on year, the highest rise for this key inflation figure in over a decade. The February figure was 1.6 percentage points higher than that of January. Normally, a 3-percent growth of CPI is regarded as inflation. The CPI growth rate cast a shadow over the Chinese economy and put the government in a tight spot. The government could continue to take monetary measures such as jnterest rate hikes，but it would be against the international trend of interest rate cuts since the global economy has been on the recession track due to the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis. Further rate hikes would draw in speculative currency, which might lead to problems such as liquidity. B The consumer price index(CPI), the barometer for inflation, grew 7.7 percent in May year on year, 0.8 percentage points lower than that in April, according to the National Bureau of Statistics(NBS). It came as no surprise for financial institutions that the CPI dropped in May month on month, as food price, a major trigger for this round of inflation, dropped considerably thanks to an abundant summer supply. There is no quick fix yet to cure inflation. But Song Guoqing, economics professor of Peking University, stated the most efficient and simple way to control inflation is to control money supply. He called on the central bank to strictly reinforce stringent monetary policy to resolve inflation pressure. C The consumer price index(CPI), the barometer for inflation at the retail level, grew 6.3 percent in July year on year. The year-on-year growth rate slowed compared with the CPI's 7.1-percent growth rate in June. But month-on-month growth accelerated 0.1 percentage point from June to July. Inflation pressure also gained momentum after dropping in May and June. Food prices, which account for one third of the CPI basket and are considered as a major trigger of this round of inflation, rose 14.4 percent in July. D "Combating inflation" ceased to be the government's priority as the consumer price index (CPI)growth rate continued to drop. Instead, the government has switched the focus of the country's macro-control policies to "maintain growth" against the backdrop of the global economic downturn. In September, the CPI grew 4.6 percent year on year. but fell 0.3 percent. age points compared with that of August. The CPI growth rate dropped for five consecutive months, demonstrating that government efforts to cap runaway inflation were paying off. Economists expect inflationary pressure to continue to ease in the fourth quarter. E The consumer price index(CPI), the barometer of inflation, was down 0.3 percent in October compared with that of September. The National Bureau of Statistics(NBS)said the CPI's year-on-year growth in October was 4 percent, the lowest growth rate in 17 months. The government has made "reinina in infiation" its top economic priority since the middle of last year, when citizens were hit with soaring costs of living. Afterwards, six rounds of interest rate hikes and other measures to cool the economy paid off as economic growth slowed amid the global financial turmoil.

填空题Classification of Contracts A more complete definition of a contract is a promise or set of promises for which the law will provide a remedy in the event of a breach. (9) A binding contract must meet the following requirements: 1) It is in the form required by the law; 2) It is between parties with the capacity to contract—that is, legally capable to con tract—or made by agents or representatives of the contracting parties with the authority to act; 3) It is enforceable in the event that one of the contracting parties fails to perform the contract. (10) However, the law does require that some agreements are made in writing. (11) Example of agreements to be made in writing include: contracts for the sale of land; contracts of guarantee; contracts for transfer of shares; contracts which muse be made by deed, for instance, a lease for more than three years. (12) In contrast, a contract by deed does not require consideration. (13) For example, a deed may need to be affixed with a seal—a printed company stamp—if one party is a limited company. Common law requires that a deed is delivered. This determines the date from which the parties are bound. It must be clear on the face of a deed that it is executed by the parties as a deed. (14) For instance: this document is executed as a deed and is delivered and has effect at the date written at the beginning of it. A. Deeds may contain standard wording about execution. B. A binding contract may be made in writing or orally, and implied from conduct, that is, by the behavior of the contracting parties. C. A deed has different formal execution requirements depending on the contracting par ties. D. As an oral contract is not as valid as a written one. E. A simple contract require consideration—the price in exchange for a promise to do something—and becomes effective on execution, generally when it is singed. F. This is usually because registration is required for the agreement to be effective and the relevant registry requires a written agreement. G. There some generally two forms of contracts: binding contract and simple contract. H. Both simple contract and binding contract demand reconsideration.
