These groups are known as a companys “publics.“ In order for a company to deal with thes
16、e publics effectively, a relationship of trust must exist.

22、ple of public relations at work is McDonalds. It has always been important to McDonalds to be known as a company that values cleanliness. Indeed, founder Ray Kroc emphasized cleanliness along with quality, service, and value as being the four most important things in any McDonalds operation. For tha
23、t reason, Kroc instructed the first McDonalds franchisees to pick up all litter within a two block radius of their stores, whether it was McDonalds litter or not.

Steps for minutes taking and writing 1. 听 2. 做好笔记 3. 撰写会议记录 听懂会上的发言是做好会议记录的必要条件。因此，开会时要选一个最佳的位置，听清每个人的发言会上你不可能要求他们重复，所以你只须一次机会。平时要多练习在嘈杂的环境中听正常语速的英语(例如收听电台广播)，这样有助于应付会议。 做笔记是会议记录的第二步。懂速记有助于做好仁义笔记，然而笔记却又不同于速记。速记的目的是尽可能把发言全部记下来，而笔记则是要抓住发言的中心思想。因此，速成记并非是做会议记录的理想方法，最好是自己摸索出一套方法。使用缩写和句子缩写以及符号，是三种
