10、 Woman: Well, it has already made a huge impact and by the time the project is fully implemented, we shall have set up a network of over 300, 000 employees and suppliers they will all be able to communicate through email. And it is this interconnectivity that has changed everything about the way we
11、work. I mean, last year, around 15 percent of our in-service staff development was carried out through web-based distance learning using the company intranet. And we reckon that for every 1,000 days of classroom-based teaching thats supplied by distance learning, it generates about $500,000 in effic
12、iency gains. And this year well be delivering up to 30% of our courses by distance learning. So well be looking at savings of over $100 million. Man: Were one of the largest insurance organisations in Canada, offering a wide range of financial products. We rely on a system of independent agents to d
13、istribute our products so its really important to maintain a close relationship with them. This used to be done over the telephone, but that was all very time-consuming for our employees and meant that we could only supply agents with information during office hours. Now we have the internet, which
14、means that all our representatives can keep in touch around the clock and get the latest information such as telemarketing scripts and advertisements. And of course, well be introducing more and more new product lines so its essential that our agents get the back-up they need. Woman: Were one of the
15、 Netherlandss leading banks with 1, 300 branches here and abroad. We deal with both business and consumer, but our primary focus is small-and medium-sized businesses, SMB as we call them. As part of our offering to SMBs, we recently launched a web-sized euro project which provides free briefings to
16、both customers and staff about the new European currency. Since the issue surrounding the euro will constantly be changing, people will need regular updating. By providing up-to-the-minute bulletins, we are establishing ourselves as a major player in the European countries. This, in turn, is enhanci
17、ng our clients perception of us and strengthening our customer base. Man: Well, we are one of Frances most prestigious bicycle manufacturers, selling mainly to professionals and people with a real passion for cyber cycle. All they have to do is choose a basic model and decide what frames, wheels, pe
18、dals and colours and so on they want. They pay on-line by credit card and the bike is then delivered to their nearest dealers within 14 days. It is as simple as that. Our business was initially aimed at mostly French customers, but with the new way of using the internet, we have been able to create
19、an international presence at a fraction of what it would have cost to advertise outside the domestic market. Man: After recent restructuring, we felt we needed to change the company culture to reflect our structure. Processes that used to be highly bureaucratized needed to be simplified. One area we
20、 really had to tackle was procurement. After filling in massive amounts of paperwork, getting requisite signatures and then faxing orders off, our employees had to wait over a month for things like office materials and PCs to get here. A real advantage with the new system is theres less margin for e
21、rrors, because if the form isnt filled in correctly, then the system says so immediately. So less time will be wasted on sorting out problems. By the end of the year, well have reduced our paper invoices from five million to zero. 【知识模块】 配伍题 1 【正确答案】 H 【知识模块】 配伍题 2 【正确答案】 G 【知识模块】 配伍题 3 【正确答案】 C 【知识

23、plicated of our procedures in only three weeks. When I met her originally I have to confess that she struck me as being a little laid back. When I asked her about ideas for the advertising, I have got the commission for the new campaign, you know, she didnt have all that much to say. In fact, throug
24、hout the discussion, she listened more than she talked: that rang an alarm bell with me. But I suspect she is one of these people that like to take everything in before venturing to say much. And as I say, she has worked out nearly all of the final points in my sales plan with what I imagine to be o
25、nly minimal support from her assistant. Woman: Well, it was a bit shock when she walked in. Luckily I just arrived myself. I had been sent out to get some office supplies that day and I was loaded down with paper and paper clips and that type of things when she came. It was the last thing I expected
26、. I was the only one there, so I had to ask all her questions even though I dont know much yet. I dont think I did very well, frankly, because she was asking a lot about the filing system. And I know I should know about it, but I havent got my own head around it at this stage, let alone try and expl
27、ain it to someone else. And you know what they say, “Last in, first out.“ Man: The reason I asked her straight was that because I think its the best way of finding out what her general attitude is. I know she wont have the health and safety at the forefront in mind, but I have had a lot of pressure
28、from the shop floor wanting to know there is going to be any movement on this, and she might as well know there is going to be an issue in the coming month. My members always complained, and I have to say I agree with them, that the old CEO was avoiding the question because he knew he was leaving, w
29、hich is fair enough. Anyway, I know she has only just arrived, but she filled it very well, I thought: and she didnt do what the last one did, which was to ignore my questions until we got to a more official form. Woman: Yes, I felt the meeting went quite well. She said she was quite happy for us to
30、 do the paper work and take over a bit and then present the figures and she will just come in at the end. Thats fine by me. It suits me better than having the boss work too intimately with you. She did seem quite interested in being involved in the decisions about software though, but I have got Jen
31、kins to handle that. I dont feel up to it frankly. Anyway, I might betray my prejudices on the account, which might be helpful. As long as this prevents costs getting out of hand again, I am not too concerned about which one we go for. Oh, by the way, she says she is going to come in on discussions
32、prior to the presentation of annual report. Man: I didnt know what to say to her actually. I didnt want to get into a confrontation in the first day. She was going into all this staff about how she wanted to set up computers in all the different offices, from the most junior clerks to the heads of d
33、epartment. And I said, “Thats all very well, but how is my department going to devise programmes to upgrade skills in the time available?“ The last CEO took things steadily. I knew that it would be stupid to take on too much until we knew how people were going to acquire the skills. The new one is c
34、oming in too aggressively, I mean it would be silly to get the hardware and have only one third being able to use it. And would we have to buy in expertise or what, because we certainly dont have the staff on site? 【知识模块】 配伍题 11 【正确答案】 A 【知识模块】 配伍题 12 【正确答案】 C 【知识模块】 配伍题 13 【正确答案】 F 【知识模块】 配伍题 14 【正确答案】 D 【知识模块】 配伍题 15 【正确答案】 E 【知识模块】 配伍题 【知识模块】 配伍题 16 【正确答案】 B 【知识模块】 配伍题 17 【正确答案】 D 【知识模块】 配伍题 18 【正确答案】 G 【知识模块】 配伍题 19 【正确答案】 A 【知识模块】 配伍题 20 【正确答案】 C 【知识模块】 配伍题
