题目

(d) The management of Wonderland plc have become concerned about the increased level of operating costs

associated with its petrol-driven ferries and have made a strategic decision to dispose of these. They are now

considering entering into a contract with the Newman Steamship Company (NSC), a shipping organisation based

in Robynland. The contract would entail NSC providing transport to and from Cinola Island for all visitors to the

zoo and circus.

As a result of negotiations with NSC, the directors of Wonderland plc are considering two options whereby NSC

will become responsible for the transportation of visitors to and from Cinola Island with effect from 1 December

2007 or 1 December 2008.

Additional information is available as follows:

(1) NSC would require Wonderland plc to pay for the necessary modifications to their steamships in order that

they would satisfy marine regulations with regard to passenger transportation. The only firm which could

undertake this work is currently working to full capacity and would require a payment of £2,450,000 in

order to undertake the work necessary so that the ferries could be in operation by 1 December 2007. The

same firm would require a payment of £1,725,000 in order to make the necessary modifications so that

the ferries could be in operation by 1 December 2008. The government of Robynland would be willing to

pay a grant of 8% towards the cost of getting the ferries into operation by 1 December 2007, but would not

be willing to pay a grant in respect of any later date.

(2) On 1 December 2002 Wonderland plc paid £500,000 to the Port Licencing Authority of Robynland. This

payment was for a licence which entitles Wonderland plc to use all harbour facilities in Robynland during

the five-year period ending 30 November 2007. The licence could be renewed on 1 December 2007 at a

cost of £150,000 per annum.

(3) Redundancy payments would need to be paid in respect of loss of employment. These would amount to

£1,200,000 if the contract with NSC commenced on 1 December 2007. This amount would reduce to

£750,000 if the contract commenced on 1 December 2008.

(4) Wonderland plc has a contract for the provision of petrol for its ferries which is due to expire on 30 November

2008. Early termination of the contract would incur a penalty charge of £76,000. An emergency reserve

stock of petrol held by Wonderland plc, which cannot be used after 30 November 2007 due to marine

regulations regarding the age of fuel, could be sold for £55,000 on 1 December 2007 but not on any date

thereafter.

(5) The ferries could be sold for £3,300,000 on 1 December 2007. If retained after 1 December 2007 the

ferries would require servicing during the year ending 30 November 2008 which would incur costs

amounting to £150,000. The resale value of the ferries on 1 December 2008 would be £2,900,000.

(6) Stock of consumable items which originally cost £150,000 could be sold on 1 December 2007 for

£110,000 and on 1 December 2008 for £50,000.

Required:

(i) On purely financial grounds, advise whether the management of Wonderland plc should enter into a

contract with NSC with effect from 1 December 2007 or 1 December 2008. You may ignore the time

value of money. (9 marks)

    (b) ‘Strategic positioning’ is about the way that a company as a whole is placed in its environment and concerns its

    ‘fit’ with the factors in its environment.

    With reference to the case as appropriate, explain how a code of ethics can be used as part of a company’s

    overall strategic positioning. (7 marks)


    正确答案:
    (b) Code of ethics and strategic positioning
    Strategic positioning is about the way that a whole company is placed in its environment as opposed to the operational level,
    which considers the individual parts of the organisation.
    Ethical reputation and practice can be a key part of environmental ‘fit’, along with other strategic issues such as generic
    strategy, quality and product range.
    The ‘fit’ enables the company to more fully meet the expectations, needs and demands of its relevant stakeholders – in this
    case, European customers.
    The ‘quality’ of the strategic ‘fit’ is one of the major determinants of business performance and so is vital to the success of
    the business.
    HPC has carefully manoeuvred itself to have the strategic position of being the highest ethical performer locally and has won
    orders on that basis.
    It sees its strategic position as being the ethical ‘benchmark’ in its industry locally and protects this position against its parent
    company seeking to impose a new code of ethics.
    The ethical principles are highly internalised in Mr Hogg and in the company generally, which is essential for effective strategic
    implementation.

    The Worker 's Role in Management
    Traditionally,it has been the workers'role to work and management's role to manage.Managers have planned and directed the firm's operations with little thought of consulting the labor force.Managers have rarely felt compelled(被迫的)to obtain the workers ' opinions or to explain their decisions to their employees.At most,companies have provided"suggestion boxes"in which workers could place ideas for improving procedures.In recent years,however,many management specialists have been arguing that workers are more than sellers of labor-they have a vital stake in the company and may be able to make significant contributions to its management.Furthermore,major company decisions profoundly affect workers and their dependents.This is
    particularly true of plant closings,which may put thousands on the unemployment lines.Should workers, then,play a stronger role in management?
    Workers should have a role in management.At the very least,the labor force should be informed of major policy decisions(A common complaint among rank-and-file workers is the lack of information about company policies and actions).Between 1980 and 1985 about five million workers were the victims of plant closings and permanent layoffs(失业),often with no warning.At least 90 days'notice ought to be given in such instances so that workers have time to adjust.Management should consult workers before closing a plant,because the workers might be able to suggest ways of improving productivity and reducing costs and might be willing to make concessions that will help keep the plant operating.
    It should become a general practice to include workers in some managerial decision making.There ought to be representatives of the workers on the firm's board of directors or other major policymaking groups.If rank-and-file workers are given a voice in the planning and management of the work flow,they will help to make improvements,their morale will rise,and their productivity will increase.As a further incentive,they must be given a share in the company's profits.This can be done through employee stock-ownership plans,bonuses,or rewards for efficiency and productivity.Finally,when a plant can no longer operate at a profit,the workers should be given the opportunity to purchase the plant and run it themselves.

    According to the passage,what happened between 1980 and 1985?
    A:Managers consulted workers before closing a plant.
    B:Workers did not make necessary concessions.
    C:About five million workers were laid off without advance notice.
    D:Many companies were closed because of strikes.

    答案:C
    解析:
    由文章第一段第三句“Managershaverarelyfeltcompelled…”可知,管理者很少去关注员工的想法,故选A。
    由文章第一段第五句及其后内容可知,很多管理学专家称工人并不仅仅是劳动力出卖者,他们和公司的利益休戚相关,或许可以为公司的管理做出巨大贡献,所以工人在公司的管理中应该享有发言权。故本题选D。
    根据该词所在句子的内容可知,对公司的决策和行动缺乏知悉度这种情况在基层工人中会出现,故选B。
    由文章第二段第三句可知,在1980到1985年间,大约有500万工人在未被提前告知的情况下成为了工厂停工倒闭的受害者,故选C。
    由文章最后一段第三句的内容可知,如果普通工人能在公司计划以及流程运营中具有发言权,就会使他们进行改进,增长士气,提高生产率,故选A。第三篇本文主要介绍了肥胖症这一世界性的问题。并论述了肥胖对身体产生的危害,以及可以对肥胖采取的预防机制。

    Practice 6  Discussion—about 5 minutes  In this part of the test you are given a discussion topic. You have 30 seconds to look at the prompt card, an example of which is below, and then about 3 minutes to discuss the topic with your partner. After that the examiner will ask you more questions related to the topic.  Time Management  Your company has found that ineffective time management is one of the major problem areas throughout the workforce. You have been asked to put forward some suggestions for improving the situation.  Discuss, and decide together:  ● Why poor time management can become a major problem in companies  ● What procedures could be adopted to ensure that time is managed effectively.

    正确答案: 【参考范例】
    A: Hi, as you know, these days our company is kind of out of control. Don’t you think so?
    B: Yeah. Everything appears to be in chaos here in our company. And that clearly has resulted from poor time management.
    A: You mean poor time management has led to all these problems. Why?
    B: When a company does not have a well-planned time-schedule, they usually do not distribute blocks of time to specified tasks. They do not have a definite clue of when they should finish a certain task. And
    A: And I think the ordering of priorities is often ignored. I mean the urgent tasks need completing first. But in our company every task is treated equally, even though it is a very urgent task.
    B: That’s the point. So time should be scheduled based on the importance of the tasks we need to handle.
    A: So what do you think we can do so as to manage time effectively here in our company?
    B: You mean what methods we can adopt?
    A: Sure. That’s what our boss is requiring us to do, right?
    B: Right. I think we’ve got a lot to do. First, we should make all the staff members aware of the importance of effective time management to our company.
    A: Yes, I think instruction in time management would be useful for them, especially those in supervisory positions.
    B: Right, perhaps we can run a few training courses for them. If necessary, we may invite some professionals from outside to help us.
    A: Another thing we need to do is to make all the managers, or even every employee, come up with their own job description. Only in this way, can they be pretty sure about what they are accountable for and what they are not.
    B: Yes, that’s a good idea. And I think, the top managers of our company should make a set of rules with respect to what sort of jobs should be paid prior attention. In this way, we can confirm that important tasks are coped with first.
    A: Good idea. So in conclusion, our company should run a few training courses, and every employee should write down their own job description.
    B: And rules should be made as to what sort of job should be paid prior attention.
