9、ign our computing policy on their first day of work. This way, they know that we mean business and that the computers and Internet access lines are intended to further the companys goals. We dont have the time to look over everyones shoulder or check temporary Internet files to recreate their surfin
10、g activities. Employees surfing and chatting on Internet waste their time on useless things rather than work which lead to their inefficiency on work. So maybe we should look into a “snooping“ program. If were seriously concerned about employee surfing, these logging programs can display a warning a
11、t booting up that they are present. That way, the employees are on notice and are probably less likely to stray. Interviewer: Thank you. Its time.

Hou Liang: Women and mens relationship is very important in a company because its closely related to problems of team work. Sometimes, Women see men as ham
14、-fisted or insecure when they come on so strong. Men think women lacking in confidence or conviction because they work hard to get buy-in. Neither, of course, is accurate. To jump the divide, borrow a bit from the others style. They have their own strong points and weaknesses respectively. As leader
15、s, we should try our best to let them see each others strong points and make them learn from each other. For example, men can try a more collaborative approach. Meanwhile, women need to take over more often. Men ought to explain their thinking and not simply jump to conclusions. Women need to get to
16、 the bottom line more quickly. Hence, each sex can benefit from the others behavior. Interviewer: Thank you. Time is up. Now, Song Li, what is the question youd like to ask Hou Liang?

Your discussion time is around three minutes. OK? Now read your task card. (30 seconds later) Well, can you start your discussion now? Im going to
20、 listen to you and then ask you to stop at the end of three minutes. Fan Bin: Well, I think a new manager should have an entrepreneurial instinct, which is an overwhelming desire to have your own business. In other words, he should have a love or enthusiasm for this position. He is willing to devote
21、 himself to this work. And educational credentials are also very important. Liu Juan: Yes, appropriate educational credentials are important, but I think business “Brains“ means more than scholastic achievements. To become a successful manager, he must have a working knowledge about the business he
22、does. Common sense combined with appropriate experience is the necessary brainpower. Prudence and attention to details are very important as well. Fan Bin: What is more, he should be a designer, know how to make the structure of the organization suit to the development of the enterprise, and at the
23、same time, he should be a “priest“, preach the “Gospel“ continuously, make the staff accept our corporate culture. Liu Juan: Good point. He should be an innovator and intelligent thinker. They should have a quick response to the changes of marketing and enough courage and ability to face challenges
24、to achieve success. Fan Bin: Yes, I also think self-confidence is the key to success. And managerial communication is very important as well. Do you think so? Liu Juan: Yes, I agree with you. A successful manager should make acquisition of what the employees think about. Similarly, sense of humor is
25、 important to a manager, because a manager should have enough glamour to encourage all employees to work hard for the company. Fan Bin: Thats really important. And as to types of financial incentives the company could offer to a new manager, I think the company should offer the manager annual bonus
26、according to profits. Our new expansion is far from the head-quarter, so it is impossible for us to direct the managers management concretely. Instead, we can give him management power and annual bonus to encourage him to work hard and make successful strategic decisions. Whats more, for it is a new
27、 expansion, and everything is new, such a short-term incentive plan such as annual bonus will be a stimulus of short-term profit. It can make the new expansion grow stronger and achieve a bigger market in the new area in a short time. Liu Juan: And we can also make a capital accumulation programs wi
28、th the new manager. It can ensure that the new manager would like to work together with the company for a long time by providing him with chances of accumulating wealth on the basis of companies successful long-term development. Fan Bin: Yes, I agree with you. In a word, we may set up a capital accu
29、mulation program together with an annual bonus plan in order that the company will get both the short-term profit and the long-term one. Liu Juan: Yes, thats right! Interviewer: In your opinion, in what forms should the capital accumulation program be? Fan Bin: A popular long-term incentive tool is
30、stock option, which enables people who have it to buy a certain sum of stock at a certain price in a certain time. Liu Juan: And an alternative is a stock value plan. According to this plan, people buy stocks by recent stock value, which is decided by the value of company estate. With the company de
31、velopment, the stock value will increase, and people can get profit from it. Interviewer: Do you have the experience of being a leader in business? Liu Juan: Yes, I have worked for a trade company as a manager assistant in summer vacation. It provided me with precious knowledge and experience about
32、company management. Fan Bin: I have no real experience, but I won the first prize in the program of the “professional manager competition“ held by the school of management last year. I learned a lot from this activity, which will help me do business in the real business world. Interviewer: Thank you, Liu Juan and Fan Bin. That is the end of the speaking test.
