I mean its never been easy with all of us spread out
30、over the city. And then there is the difference in phone lines. Half the time when Im answering calls they come to the wrong branch. Then thats the students. I mean half of them have never been in the city, or even this country before. Its no wonder they are late. They dont know how to find their wa
31、y round. But this way when all the changes were over and weve settled down in the new building, well be easier to get to. So I reckon they will get there more promptly and they wont have any excuse any more for coming in late or missing lectures. Speaker 2 Woman: I think it all depends where you are
32、 sitting, where you are looking from. Overall, Im convinced that it will work out well. Its the right decision. Id have done the same thing. Im really convinced a large number of students are going to be delighted. They will see the benefits immediately. OK, yes, I am anticipating some complaints. W
33、ith our people of this nature I think thats inevitable. But the majority will welcome it. Ive explained it to all my lecturers. They understand it, accept it. It also means I can organise the timetables better, so they will do their teaching over a shorter day. So thats obviously a benefit. Im sure
34、the rest of the staff will feel the same. Speaker 3 Man: In the early days I had to take premises all over the place, anywhere I could get them just to get the business off the ground. But over the years Ive always looked for the opportunity to get everyone together on one site. When all this is ove
35、r, we look better and we will perform better. I know it means that we are going to attract more businesses.

36、rsonally, I cant wait. Speaker 4 Woman: I cant say I really understand why they are doing it. I mean its all the building, all the equipment. You know, it seems so organised, as it is. Its got to be money, hasnt it? Thats where we are always here in the lectures, keep costs under control. Of course,
37、 lots of us are late for class sometimes. And I know thats bad, and embarrassing. Walking in when everyone else was already in their place and its all started ages ago. But I do think its a bit worrying, that will surely mean some of us are going to lose out. I mean they wouldnt be doing this if the
38、y didnt reckon I could save some salaries, would they? Speaker 5 Man: I wish them luck. Thats the main thing I say. I think they are a national organisation, very well-run. The students are always happy, more than satisfying. I just think its beyond my imagination what you will have to do. I mean yo
39、u think of all the different branches, all the things, all the procedures. Can you imagine what all the changing will involve? Anyway, I suppose the bottom line is as long as they keep their external relations as efficient as they have always been. There is no problem. At the end of the day Ive won

Alan, can we first look at the innovation in organisations? Man: Mm? Woman: How important is it? Man: Vital. Changes are all around. If we dont change, other
44、 people will, our competitors both here and abroad.

For many, innovation is the heart of surviving in the future. Woman: Could you outline some of t
45、he main types of innovation in organisations? Man: Well, there are a few main types, I suppose. There are the modification of the existing products to make them a little better. There are the technology-based projects where people are looking for breakthroughs and setting goals: and their problem is
46、 finding the right technology for this. Also we have people looking for new uses for technology.

48、tion of technology, you need to be given time to look customer needs. In the area of totally new technology, the key thing is for management to pick very good people, and then let them work in areas which are potentially relevant to the organisation. The clear need here is to make sure exploitable i
49、deas arent missed. Woman: Aha! Man: Id also like to stress the importance to innovation of “product champions“. Woman: “Product champions“? Man: Yes. All innovations go through difficult patches and it needs somebody senior in the organisation who has the real commitment to it, to the product and the part to push it through these difficult patches. Of course, the danger is getting too involved and not not
