Prices and discounts, ReputationWell, when it comes to choosing a new supplier, several vital factors must be taken into account.To begin with, I think we must c

35、onsider the price of goods first. We can compare the prices offered by different suppliers and choose the one which is more reasonable. Because only if we get the supply at lower price can we make profits. Of course, it would be even better if the supplier can offer discounts to regular clients.Anot

36、her point we sh ould also consider is the location of the supplier. We d better choose one who is nfar away from us. If the supplier is too far away, that will most likely increase the cost of transportation.Besides, it s also very important to consider whethtsupplier is reliable. We would never cho

37、ose thosewho always deliver their goods late or those who can t ensure the quality of goods. Because late delivery maybring heavy loss to us, and quality is the lifeline of any business. Otherwise we may lose our own clients. So in this aspect, we must not make any concessions, and lower prices cann

38、ot be a valid mitigating factor.While there are also other considerations in choosing a supplier, such as reputation, means of payment, after-sales service, I believe the factors mentioned above are the most indispensable ones.D. II-36. What is important when choosing business premises to rent? Loca

39、tion, Length of contract5 / 83doc 格式 可编辑精品 word. 仅供参考Well, as we all know, many factors must be considered when choosing business premises to rent, the questions is of course which ones?From my point of view, we should first take the location into consideration. Some companies choose to locate in of

40、fice blocks downtown; some would like to be near the largest concentrations of their target customers. Itdepends largely upon the type of the company in question. Companies that provide services must be locatedwithin easy access. So they usually choose those places where there is convenient transpor

41、tation.Another important facet to consider is the size of the premises. Nowadays, more and more large companiesprefer an open, spacious working floor which allows colleagues to communicate and interact freely. Of course, asmall company would not rent the whole floor. That will be a waste of space an

42、d an unnecessary cost burden.Last but not least, the length of contract should not be neglected. A fixed-term contract is legally binding and can only serve to make your situation worse in times of recession. Whenever possible, flexible contract arrangement should be preferred.While there are also o

43、ther considerations in choosing business premises, such as rent and facilities, I believe the factors mentioned above are the most indispensable ones.E. III-7. Career Development: The importance of acquiring a range of skills throughout your careerWell, as is known to all, it is very important for a

44、 person toacquire a range of skills in the course of his career. The question is of course why?When he has a range of skills, first of all, he is obviously more competitive than those who don t and thereforehas better chances of surviving a downturn. To put it another way, companies are likely to re

45、tain highly skilled staff members even when mass layoff is inevitable.And that s not the only benefit.A person with a range of skills is more likely to work his way to the top of the corporate ladder. In most companies, whether or not you have the appropriate skills is a relevant criterion for promo

46、tion.On the other hand, it will also be easier for a skilled employee to find a job outside his own company if he isnot satisfied with his present job. In this way, acquiring a variety of skills in one s career offers more promobility.So, when all the benefits are taken into account, no wonder acqui

47、sition of skills is taken so seriously nowadays.F. III-8. Career Planning: how to assess the career opportunities provided by different types of companies 6 / 83doc 格式 可编辑精品 word. 仅供参考Well, when it comes to assessing different career opportunities, several vital factors must be taken into account.Fi

48、rst of all, the type of company should be taken into consideration. Different types of firms have their own benefits and challenges. In a multinational company., say, you can learn international business management andculture, and as an icing on the cake, you may have more opportunities to travel ab

49、road. However, English is theworking language in multinationals. You have to be very good at English to work there. So state-owned companies may better suit some people.Salary should be another important consideration.As everyone knows, multinational companies usually offerhigher salaries. But if yo

50、u have just graduated from college, you shouldn t be too concerndsabout that.new hand, it smore important to gain more experience through working rather than earn quick money.After salary, we should not ignore other financial rewards in the form of fringe benefits. Some companiesoffer housing allowa

51、nce, car allowance, children s education allowance in additiSolltotshaelsrio.videstaff with free health club and cafeteria. And high tech firms often supplement salaries with stock options.Although there are also other considerations in assessingdifferent career opportunities, such as training, loca

52、tion, and good colleagues, I believe the factors mentioned above are the most indispensable ones.G. III-31. Human Resources: how to select the right staff for promotionWell, as is known to all, it is very important to select the right staff for promotion. The question is of course how?For one thing,

53、 qualification definitely counts a great deal. A good qualification, especially an advanced degree,normally indicates high aptitude and a wide range of knowledge and skills. Even though we often hear clich slike Butdegrees dontmean everything , in the real world, qualification actually means a lot.T

54、hat said, there ARE certain skills and knowledge, or what we call flair, that come only from long-time hands-on experience. So it is only natural that the next thing to consider should be experience. Only by accumulating enough experience can an employee be totally at ease with his duties. Besides,

55、experience can also tell us about his performance, track record, and leadership potential.Well, last but not least, personality should also be a factor in any staffing decision. Different positions requiredifferent personal qualities. The highest virtues for an engineer engaged in R & D, for instanc

56、e, would be meticulousness and creativity. Yet for a sales manager, being energetic and outgoing is much more important because sales managers have to leave a good first impression upon their clients. But for any position, hard-working people are always welcome.7 / 83doc 格式 可编辑精品 word. 仅供参考So to rec

57、ap, qualification, experience and personality are the three promotion criteria that we all need to keep in mind.H. III-62. Product Promotion: how to promote an imported brandWith so many people these days making a conscious decision to buy domestic products, the pressure on those companies wishing t

58、o promote imported brands is greater than ever before.Initially, a company needs to show how their product is superior to the local equivalents. Maybe it s betterquality; maybe it msore stylish; maybe it btter image. Anyway, a company needs to show customers the benefits of being more adventurous in

59、 their buying decisions, in order to encourage them to move away from the home brands they currently use.Well, beyond that, if you market a product as something exotic or unusual, say, you t new re bound toclients. As you may also have experienced, most people have a strong craving for things novel

60、and unfamiliar. Of course, when the sense of curiosity wears off, such a strategy will usually fall short of expectations.Last but not least, cultural stereotypes are also a powerful selling tool. A cosmetics range associated with French chic, for example, is sure to attract customers. And if people
