Five Basic Functions That Make up the Management ProcessIn 1916, a French coal mine director named Henri Fayol wrote a book entitled Administration Industrielle et Generale. Today, management courses still use many of his ideas to teach management to business students.PlanningPlanning involves deciding where to take a company and selecting steps to get there. It first requires managers to be aware of challenges facing their businesses, and then it requires managers to forecast future business and economic conditions. They then formulate objectives to reach by certain deadlines and decide on steps to reach them. They re-evaluate their plans as conditions change and make adjustments as necessary.OrganizingManagers organize by bringing together physical, human, and financial resources to achieve objectives. They identify activities to be accomplished, classify activities, assign activities to groups or individuals, create responsibilities, and delegate authority.LeadingLeading requires managers to motivate employees to achieve business objectives and goals. It requires the use of authority to achieve those ends as well as the ability to communicate effectively. Effective leaders can influence their personnel to view situations from their perspectives.ControllingControlling involves measuring achievement against established objectives and goals. It also requires managers to be able to identify sources of deviation from successful accomplishment and to provide a corrective course of action.StaffingWithout human resources, no organization can get off the ground, let alone do business and make profits. Some distinct features of the staffing function are:- It puts the right man in the right job.- It is an ongoing activity.- Efficiency is a prime focus of this function.(20 分)(1) Which of the following choice is involved in Planning?A. Formulating objectives for a company and deciding steps to reach objectives.B. Motivating employees to achieve objectives and deciding steps to reach objectives.

When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong，China，we brought not only our luggage，but also our village rules，customs and culture．One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders．Unluckily，this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States．I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant．One time，when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple，the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly．I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly．As soon as I said that，her face showed great displeasure．My manager，who happened to hear what I said，took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive Americans are and how they dislike the description"old"．I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife．After the couple heard my reason，they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences，so they laughed and were no longer angry．In my village in China，people are proud of being old．Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty，and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience．Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience．However，in the United States，people think"growing old"is a problem since"old"shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well．Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging，and women put on makeup，hoping to look young．When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly，they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young．I had told them something they didn't want to hear．After that，I changed the way I had been with older people．It is not that I don't respect them any more；I still respect them，but now I don't show my feelings through words．By Jack43．Jack brought the couple their food very fast because ____ ．A．the manager asked him to do soB．he respected the elderlyC．the couple wanted him to do soD．he wanted more pay44．When Jack called the couple"elderly"，they became ____ ．A．nervousB．satisfiedC．unhappyD．excited45．After this experience，Jack ____ ．A．lost his job in the restaurantB．made friends with the coupleC．no longer respected．the elderlyD．changed his way with older people46．Which of the following is TRUE？ ____ A．The more Jack explained，the angrier the couple got．B．Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience．C．The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple．D．From this experience，Jack learned more about American culture．

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
