According to management expert Tom David, a
professional service firm--a company of consultants, lawyers or auditors, for
example—is the best model for tomorrow's organization in any industry. He says
that these firms are typically informal and flexible in their structure, and
good at teamwork and knowledge-sharing. In contrast, the world's big old
corporations can easily be portrayed as crawling along behind.The reality is
perhaps more subtle. The rapid growth which professional service firms (PSFs)
are experiencing is causing them management problems which the typical big
corporations addressed long ago. They are turning themselves into conglomerates,
trying to coordinate themselves globally rather than by country, as corporations
like Unilever have done for years. The more sophisticated big corporations today
are moving towards the partnership model, with flexible structures which
actively involve employees. But the bigger PSFs are moving the other way. They
are becoming the clumsy giants of the future. However, there are positive
aspects of PSFs--leadership, for example. The secret of good leadership is to
guide and steer people without actually managing them. This means being very
clear about the firm's objectives. If these are clear, then leaders can be
flexible, encouraging employees to come up with their own solutions to problems.
The leader's job is to watch carefully and adjust people back towards the
objectives. Because of this approach, in many PSFs, nobody is expected to spend
more than half their time on management in the conventional sense.Teams are
essential in PSFs and are central to the training process, A huge amount of the
training employees receive is in the discussion and debate with those who have
been done that road before. When young people join the firm, they join teams.
This works when there are enough senior people with enough time to devote to
them.At the same time, it is vital that people do not identify with the team
too closely. The leadership skill is in ensuring you don't create firms within
firms. So you move people from group to group and you organize around clients.
As well as focusing on the client's needs, it's also important to keep the
firm's needs in mind. It's relatively easy to narrow your focus to those clients
that concern you, and leave worrying about your people as a whole to someone
else. But the one thing which PSFs claim a clear lead over other big companies:
knowledge management. There are two main technology-based ways in which they
transfer their knowledge from those who have it to those who need it. First, the
creation of e-mail networks. Second, the logging of data onto central computer
systems. Are they effective? Jane Griffith, head of Northern Consulting, gives
an example: "Suppose I have a client in the ice-cream business and I need to
find out about the industry. I don't want to have read all 5,000 electronic
entries on the icecream; what I do want is to use the system to find out one
e-mail address of somebody who knows about the ice-cream business and then
contact them to ask them about the ice-cream business. It's that kind of
cooperation that builds success. "

You're busy filling out the application form for a position you really

claim that they "attended" or "were associated with" a college or university.

means being dismissed after one semester. It may be that "being associated with"

填空题A Western Media Western Media has drafted in Carol Spencer, the top marketer in its radio subsidiary, to be its first marketing director and give its Music & Sports Magazines division a major revamp. She will take charge of a portfolio of six titles, and plans to give the division a new identity, replacing its current, very functional name with a more emotionally involving one. Spencer also intends to develop a TV or radio show based on one of its magazines, in an attempt to reverse its flagging sales figures. B Franklin's UK furniture manufacturer Franklin's has parted company with its marketing director Gary Parker. Franklin's refused to comment as to whether he left of his own accord, although sources hint that this was not the case. His replacement, Julia Howell, previously his number two, has been a successful marketer since she started her own marketing consultancy twenty years ago. Her task now is to regain Franklin's former position as UK market leader although sales have held steady, in percentage terms the company has been overtaken by several rivals. C Flyway Flyway, the low-cost airline, has appointed Simon Lewis as its new head of sales and marketing to develop the brand throughout Europe. Lewis has spent his entire working life within the industry, joining from the marketing department of long-time rival Coastal Airways, where he controlled marketing activities in the UK. He will work with Teresa Campbell, who helped launch the Flyway brand. However, not only Coastal is unhappy with the appointment, Charles Waiters, Flyway's former controller of marketing planning, is poised to quit after being left without a role. BDH Alan Dean, the colourful joint chief executive of media company BDH, has resigned from the company which he helped establish citing personal issues. Shareholders and staff were informed of his decision last month. Joint chief executive officer Charles Burnett takes sole charge of the company temporarily, and has announced that there will be no change in strategy. According to 10 insiders, Alan Dean's departure is the result of a personality clash rather than disagreement on the way the company was moving, and the search is on for a replacement. Granville Soft drinks producer Granville has acquired an Australian producer, a departure for Granville, as previously it had only shown interest in domestic purchases. As a result, Jenny Morris, former head of corporate development, has been promoted to the newly created position of head of international soft drinks. As such she will be responsible for developing all the group's international activities, including both marketing and acquisitions. Her move has resulted in a reshuffle of other previous department, where, instead of replacing her, the company intends to reallocate responsibilities to remaining staff.

As far as is reasonably practicable, all appliances should be kept in a good state of repair. For this reason,visual display equipment should be regularly checked for damage Any appliance which is consequently found to be faulty or potentially dangerous should, where possible, be immediately isolated from the electrical supply and reported to a supervisor. It is required by law that employees using VDUs should have regular breaks. (1) In both cases supervisors are responsible for ensuring that these breaks are observed. The company provides word processors which have been specially selected to provide a safe system of work and every effort has been made to ensure that they have been ergonomically designed. (2) This may be due to individual physical characteristics of the operator rather than the machine itself. In such cases, the company is obliged to take every action to improve the situation. All employees are expected to notify their manager about any discomfort experienced whilst using a word processor. (3) Where entries refer to eyesight, display screen users are entitled, upon request, to a free eye test, the cost to be met by the company. If a user is said by his/her optician to require frequent eye tests, the employer should meet the costs of all necessary tests. (4) Operators are otherwise entitled to one free eye test every twelve months unless there are exceptional medical circumstances which have arisen during the period between examinations. The development of office networks has resulted in modular configurations, comprising a number of interchangeable computers which may be easily moved around.

填空题Fooled by FlatteryBeing swept along by their followers isn't the only form of influence that leaders need to be wary of. Sometimes, follower influence takes the subtler and gentler form of ingratiation. Must people learn very early in life that a good way to get people to like you (31) to show that you like them. Flattery, favors, and frequent compliments all tend to win people (32) Leaders, naturally, like those who like them and are more apt to let those they are fond of influence them.For their part, followers think that (33) on the boss's good side gives them some measure of job security. Indeed, a recent study indicated (34) successful ingratiators gained a 5% edge over other employees in performance evaluations. This kind of margin by (35) won't get someone ahead, but in a competitive market, it might (36) tip the scale toward one of two people up for a promotion.Everyone loves a sincere compliment, but those who already think highly (37) themselves are most susceptible to flattery's charms. Gratuitous ingratiation can create a subtle shift in a leader's attitude toward power. Instead of viewing power as (38) to be used in the service of the organization, clients, and stakeholders, the leader treats it as a tool to further personal interests, sometimes at the expense of others in and outside the organization. (39) happens as a leader starts to truly believe his press and comes to feel more entitled (40) privileges than others.
