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.).

填空题 EFFECTIVE TIME MANAGEMENT All too often, work seems like to take over a disproportionate part of our lives, with the result that we are not able to see our friends or families as often as41 we would like and we have little time for relaxation. Although one of the42 consequences of poor time management for many of us is that it tips over our43 lives out of balance so that we don't pay enough attention to the things that44 are really important to achieve them. But the paradox is that when work45 dominates on the horizon to such an overwhelming extent, we are probably46 being neither as efficient nor as effective at work as we could be with a47 better organised lifestyle. If we constantly feel under the pressure and are48 always rushing to meet deadlines, we should take up a look at the way we49 are organising our work. We all have limits on the amount of time and within50 which we can do a good job; it's more important to make use that time well than51 to work more hours. There are various techniques, such as delegating to each52 others and by reducing interruptions, that are commonly used for managing time, and when we put these into practice, we will soon notice the difference.

填空题A Fair Day's Pay? How much is a good CEO worth? The high pay of (31) executives can create employee distrust and sometimes outright hostility, especially during times of financial hardship. More and more companies are facing the question of (32) to set ethical pay standards for their top brass. How can anyone judge whether Walt Disney's Michael Eisner is (33) the $ 40 million in total compensation he received in 1988? One way to make (34) of such figures is to com pare them with wages earned by the company's lowest paid workers~ Does Disney do work equivalent to that of more than 2,000 people who run rides and pick up trash at Disney World? The question (35) confined to Walt Disney. A study showed that the (36) CEO was making 93 times the salary of an average factory worker, 72 times that of a teacher, and 44 times that of an engineer. Moreover, executives can now take advantage of many more tax breaks than they could 30 years ago. Some corporations—including a number of well respected and very successful ones-under stand how much resentment such figures can create in employees. They have put a ceiling on the amount their top executives can make. The pretax income of office furniture maker Herman Miller's CEO is limited to 20 times that of the company's manufacturing (37) Ben & Jerry's limits its executives' pay to 5 times that of its (38) —paid employees. Most American corporations still scoff at such ideas and continue to widen the gap between their best-and (39) —paid employees. But before too long, such well-paid executives may start getting some of the blame for the problems American companies have competing in the (40) economy.

填空题A Travel SecurityBusiness travel is showing strong signs of a recovery after a time of uncertainty and those who are getting back on the road are finding themselves in a reassuringly security-conscious environment. Airlines, airports, hotels and governments have now placed travel safety high on their agendas and this can only have positive repercussions for those who travel most frequently -- business travelers. Biometrics -- a group of technologies that can identify individuals by their physical characteristics -- are being used to increase travel security and will change the way we travel forever.B Recovery in Airline IndustryThe airline industry is beginning to stabilize after a period of turmoil, say the latest figures by OAG, the world's leading source of flight schedule information. The annual OAG report, which compares the number of flight schedules worldwide in one week in December 2003 with the same week in 2002, reported a 1% increase, equaling to more than 3,000 additional flights to airline schedules. The rise indicates a long-awaited recovery in business travel and a renewed confidence in the airline industry. The strongest growth was seen in the traffic to and from the Asia Pacific region, which jumped by 8%, while the number of flights within the region was also up by 6%. C Asian CompaignsSome Asian countries have launched campaigns aimed specifically at business visitors. Singapore, for example, is hoping to increase its number of business visitors from 1.25 million in 2003 to 1.8 million in 2005 through its US ＄15 million "Make It Singapore" campaign, launched in November 2003. "We want to draw more business visitors to Singapore through an attractive basket of incentives for event organizers," said a spokesperson. "The incentives include complimentary rooms from participating hotels, special discounts on food and beverage for functions, special rates from Singapore Airlines, among others."D SMS serviceScandinavian Airlines (SAS) is now offering frequent travelers the chance to get up-to-date information on fright arrivals, departures, delays, seat availability and schedules by using SMS texting. The free service is available to members of its frequent flyer program EuroBonus and to travelers who have booked a Travel Pass or Travel Pass Corporate. Passengers who register for the service will automatically receive information on any irregularity affecting the departure and arrival time of the flights on which they are booked.E Relax In StylePassengers flying in JAL's Executive Class "Seasons" from Tokyo to Chicago and Paris can now sleep more soundly in the airline's Shell Flat Seat. The airline will roll out the seat on routes from Tokyo to Frankfurt, Los Angeles and San Francisco later in 2004. The shell shaped seat is designed for maximum privacy and relaxation and reclines 170 degrees. Later this year, JAL will also introduce the Connexion by Boeing high-speed broadband Internet and email service on beard flights, starting with its Tokyo-London route.
