Len Matheson is the owner of a small company that’bais rapidly expanding. He’s getting advice from Mary Carlyle, a business consultant, on developing a functional organizational structure to better deal with his company’s expansion.
Mary: Mr. Matheson, I’ve studied all your reports, and your company is making excellent progress.
Len: Thank you, Miss Carlyle. And please, call me Len. So, what are your recommendations for my new organizational structure?
Mary: Call me Mary. First, let’s start with your operation here. You should set up separate Administrative,Clerical, Back office, and Support functions.
There’s too much work for your personnel to wear more than one hat any more.
Len: Yes, they’re already overworked. But that will entail more Managerial functions, won’t it?
Mary: That’s right, Len, and you’ll need at least two
new managers for separate Marketing and Product
Development departments.
Len: OK, Mary. What else?
Mary: I think you’ll need an Executive assistant to help
you deal with Corporate affairs. That should do it
for your headquarters here, but since your business
is no longer just local, I also suggest setting up a
Regional office in the south.
Len: What about personnel there?
Mary: You’ll need the same basic functionality as here, on a reduced scale. Product Development is only needed at HQ for now. Your regional head can manage all functions there initially, but will probably need an assistant, also. And that’s it!
Len: Thanks for your advice, Mary. Looks like I’ll need that assistant right away to help me set all this up!
A: Thank you for listening, that concludes the formal part of my presentation. Now we havetime for a few questions before we break for lunch. Please don't be shy, if you have questions orsomething to say, just raise your hand.。.。 Oh, yes, you in the back?
B: Can you clarify what you said about the standard design options?
A: Do you mean the design for the phase one products?
B: Yes.。.。
A: Well, just as I said, the design for the phase one products comes in a standard optionspackage. We will provide a catalog of choices that can be customized to a fair degree.
C: What do you think about the copyright issues that have come up with our recent designs?
A: I'm sorry, I'm not sure I'm familiar with the issues you're talking about.。.。 I'm not sure Iunderstand your question, could you explain more?
C: The legal department has been dealing with charges of copyright infringement on ourdesigns.。.。 I was just wondering your take on the issue.
A: I don't have much experience in the legal aspect of things, I'll have to do a little researchand get back to you.。.。
Manager: Well, gentlemen, as you know, the purpose of this meeting is to make a preliminary evaluation of product CP21· At this stage we have three main points to consider you have them on your agenda. The first one is: potential market. Tom, what can you say about that?
Tom: I asked the four regional managers to do two things. Firstly, to make a rough estimate of the number of customers in their territory who might be interested, and secondly, to sound out one or two of these-very diplomatically of course and find out their reactions. Basically, I wanted to know whether this problem is a general one or not.
Manager: And what were their findings?
Tom: Well, it seems the problem is more general than we realized. But most people just accept it, they regard it more as an inconvenience than as a serious production problem.
Manager: Do you think the idea has sales potential?
Tom: Yes, I do. The results obtained by Jones Electronics are quite impressive.
Manager: Thank you. Now, the next item to consider is the probable cost of going into production. Bill, can you give us some idea of the investment required?
经理:喂，先生们，你们都知道，本次会议的目的是对新产品CP21作投产前的预估。在现阶段，我们要考虑的主要有三点—这三点在你们的议事日程上都有了。第一点是潜在的市场。汤姆，关于这一点你能谈谈吗？
汤姆:我曾请四位区域经理做了两件事。第一是粗略估计在他们的地区内，有多少顾客对这个新产品可能会感兴趣；第二是听取其中一些人的意见，当然要十分机智了解他们的反应。基本上我想弄清楚这个问题是不是一般性的。
经理:他们调查的结果如何？
汤姆:嗯，问题似乎比我们意识到的更为一般化。但是大多数人只是接受问题而已。他们认为只是麻烦，但并没有把它看作是重大的生产问题。
经理:你是否认为这个新产品具有销售潜力？
汤姆:是的，我认为如此。琼斯电子公司所取得的结果给人留下了相当深刻的印象。
经理:谢谢你。现在要考虑的下一个事项是关于投产所需的估算成本。比尔，你可否给我们谈点投资方面所需的意见？
A: Excuse me. You are Mr. Johnson, the Sales Manager, aren t you?
A: 劳驾，您是销售经理约翰逊先生，对吗？
B: Yes. It s me.
B: 是的。我就是。
A: How do you do, Mr. Johnson? I am Jack from the ABC Company.
A: 您好，约翰逊先生。我是从ABC公司来的杰克。
B: How do you do, Mr. Jack? You re welcome. What can I do for you?
B: 您好，杰克先生，欢迎您。我能为您做些什么？
A: I am glad to have the opportunity of visiting your corporation. We are interested in your office facilities and hope to have some information about your usual business practices.
A: 我很高兴有机会访问贵公司。我们有意购买贵公司的办公用品，希望能了解一些有关你方通常业务惯例的情况。
B: That s nice. I really hope we can do business together. By the way, did you have a pleasant trip here?
B: 那太好了，真诚希望我们能合作。顺便问一句，您这次旅行好吗？
Sally: I see from your resume that you certainly have the educational background and work background to handle this job. In fact, you seem to be somewhat overqualified for this job. It’s not as high a position as head manager of a major hotel like you had on the East coast. Why are you applying here?
Victoria: From what I know, your hotel is very progressive and in a good position for expansion, and I think I can help you do that. I consider time management to be one of my key strengths. As night manager, I think I can maximize my time to ensure that night operations run at top efficiency, and at the same time help you to plan your expansion.
Sally: I’m impressed with your advance knowledge of our business. Your cover letter shows that you’ve done your homework, and you have all the qualifications we’re looking for. But I’m still a little worried that you’ll leave if a higher position opens up at a more prominent hotel.
Victoria: I came to the West coast for a change of pace. The night position suits my goals for the present, and I’m looking forward to the challenge of helping to make your hotel one of the key players here.
Sally: I like your attitude, and it looks like you’re the person for the job. The position’s open two weeks from Monday. Can you start then?
Victoria: No problem!
A: What about our claim?
B: Our shopping manager is looking into it.
A: When will we hear something from him?
B: Oh, in just two day or three, I think.
C: Here is the final settlement for your claim.
A: Thanks, we appreciate the so fast work.
C: We hope we won't have this kind of problem again.
A: That goes for us too.
A:我们的赔偿怎么样啦？
B:我们的货运经理正在调查这件事。
A:什么时候会有消息呢？
B:哦，我想就这两三天吧。
C:你的赔偿问题终于解决了。
A:谢谢你们这么快就办好了。
C:我们希望不会再有这样的事情发生了。
A:我们也是这么希望的。
A: So that's the end of what I had prepared to share with you today. Now I'd like to open it upfor questions. We have about twenty minutes for questions and discussion. I'd be veryinterested to hear your comments.。.。Yes?
B: Yes, thank you for your excellent presentation. I have one question I would like to ask. Yousaid our sales in Asia overall have been very low in general 。.。. I'm wondering what thesituation is like in Japan?
A: Good question. As I mentioned, Asia in general is a slow starter, this also includes theJapanese market. There is no notable difference between Japan and other Asian countries.Does that answer your question?
B: Yes, thank you. Another question.。. Would you care to comment on the cultural impact ofMultinational companies on local economies?
A: I'm afraid that's outside the scope of my talk, I can talk to you more individuallyafterwards.。.。
C: What about our future direction in the Asian market? Can you talk a little about what planswe have?
A: I don't think I'm the right person to answer this question, perhaps our General Manager, Mr.Thomas, can help to answer.。.。
A：Excuse me, but aren't you Mr. Jackson from Australia?
对不起，您是澳大利亚来的杰克逊先生吗？
B：Yes. Are you Mr. Robin?
是的，你是罗宾先生吗？
A：Yes. Here’s my business card. We’ve been looking forward to meeting you.
是的，这是我的名片。我们一直在期待见到您。
B：Thank you. I’m also delighted to meet you.
谢谢，我也很高兴见到您。
A：What's your best price for that item?
这种货你们是多少？
B：The unit price is $12.50.
单价是12.50美元。
A：I think the price is a little high. Can't you reduce it?
我觉得这个价贵了点，你能不能减一点？
B：I'm afraid we can't. $12.50 is our rock bottom price. If you purchase more than 10,000 units we can reduce it to $12.00.
恐怕不行，12.50美元是我们的底价。如果你订货超过10,000件，我们可以减到12.00美元。
A: Hello, David, good to see you a-gain.
A:您好，大卫，很高兴再次见到您。
B: Hello, Tom. How's business?
B:您好，汤姆，生意怎么样？
A: Oh, can't complain.
A:噢，还不错。
B: And the family?
B:家人怎么样？
A: Fine, thanks.
A:很好，谢谢。
B: Good. Tom, I'd like to introduce a colleague, Quentin Richardson. Quenti’s just joined us from EA, and he served for after you from now on. He'll be your day-to-day contact.

C: Hello, Mr. Thomas.
C:您好，托马斯先生。

C: Fine, Tom. I'm Quentin. I look for-ward to working with you.
C:好的，汤姆，我叫昆汀。我盼望和您一起工作。
B: I want you to take good care of him , Quentin. He is one of our best customers.
B:昆汀，我想让你好好关照他。他是我们的客户之一。
C: I'll do my best.
C:我会尽力的。
B: I'm sure you will, Quentin.
B:昆汀，我想你会的。
C: Well, to start the ball rolling, how about having lunch together?
C:那么，作为开始，我们先一起吃个午饭怎么样？
A: You know all my favorite restaurants, David.
A:大卫，你可知道我最爱去的饭店。
A: I can't stand the stupid guy any longer. It's unhelievable.
A:我实在不能忍受那个愚蠢的家伙了，真是不可思议。
B: Oh, my dear lady, take it easy. You should forgive a green hand like him.
B:噢，亲爱的，别放心上。原谅像他那样的新手吧！
A: He does everything so mindlessly that he is going to drive me crazy.
A:他做事总是没脑子，快把我逼疯了。
B: I suggest you talk with him and teach him how to deal with the problems.
B:我建议你和他谈谈，也教教他怎么处理那些问题。
A: I've told him how to do that several times , but he's never listened to me.
A:我告诉过他怎么做很多次了，但是他总是不昕我的。
B: Maybe you should communicate with him just like a friend , not a boss.
B:或许你应该和他以朋友的身份谈谈，而不是以上司的身份。
A: Oh , I always have difficulty in get-ting along with the staff.
A:噢，我总是和下属很难相处。
B: Just take them as your good friends and have a talk with them as we do. Make sure you won't lose your temper!
B:把他们当成你的好朋友，和他们说话就像咱俩这样。还要保证不发脾气。
A: Oh, so bad. I'm afraid I'll change the image of myself.
A:噢，太糟了。恐怕我要改变改变形象了。
B: No , it's unnecessary. Just respect the staff and their own opinions.
B:不，不需要。你只需要尊重他们和他们的想法就好了。
A: But sometimes they offer some use-less proposals, awfully useless.
A:但是他们有时候交上来一些没用的提议，非常没有价值。
B: Oh , no one is perfect.
B:没人是完美的。
A: That's right. I should speak to them in a polite way.
A:对啊，这么一想我应该对他们客气点。
B: All men are equal in the eyes of the God. We have the equal partnership in team.
B:上帝眼里每个人都是平等的。我们在团队里应该是平等的。
A: Thanks very much and you're very eloquent.
A:非常感谢，你说话总是很得体。
B: Thanks for saying that.
B:谢谢你这样说。
M: Please let me see the draft of what you have put together for Monday's meeting.
F: I'm still working on the agenda, there will be a lot to go over on Monday. Here's what I'vegot so far.
M: Do you think we will spend more than twenty minutes in the opening? I think it should bepretty simple.
F: It shouldn't take too long, but there will be a lot of dignitaries at the meeting. In theopening exercises, it is protocol to spend a little time to recoginise them. I reckon it shouldtake about half an hour before we can even get to the minutes.
M: Really? Well, at least the minutes shouldn't take too long to review. There shouldn't be a lotof active business left over from last meeting.
F: True. After review and acceptance of the minutes, we have several committee reports. Oldbusiness won't take up too much time, but sometimes the committee delegates can be a littleverbose… Is there where we can limit their time?
M: We can set a five minute report time with a three minute question and answer afterwards.
F: That's not good. Q&A always stretch out the time, because people usually get stuck onsome irrelevent point, we'll lose control of the meeting if we open it up to questions too early.
M: True. Well, imposing an eight minute limit on the committee reports then, we'll saveQ&A until right before closed session.
F: Sounds good. Overall, we can probably keep the meeting under two hours.
M: Let's hope!
A: So that concludes the introduction. Now let's move to the first part of my talk, which is about2006 fiscal year marketing plan. So first, right off the bat, When looking at the marketingplan, tell me some of the goals that we had set this year to begin with.。.。
B: We wanted to appeal to a younger set of consumers and also, in line with that goal, redo ourimage.。.。
A: That's correct. If you remember, we also set a goal to double distribution in overseasmarkets. Now, when looking at the data to evaluate whether or not we made our goals, thereare three things to consider. First, the original condition of the market, second, our marketingnumbers from the previous year, and third, our final sales figures for this year. Now I want todescribe for you the second and third parts. If you look at the overhead, you'll see agraph.。.The blue line represents our sales from the year 2005, the red line is the sales in2006.。.。 As you can see, our sales in 2005 were quite slow to start off with, but managed tomake decent performance in the last part of the year. On the other hand, you can see thisyear's sales took off like a rocket.
