考题 Part BDirections: Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2.As part of more comprehensive compliance and ethics programs, many companies have formulated internal policies pertaining to the ethical conduct of employees. These policies can be simple exhortations in broad, highly-generalized language (typically called a corporate ethics statement) , or they can be more detailed policies, containing specific behavioral requirements (typically called corporate ethics codes). 61) They are generally meant to identify the company' s expectations of workers and to offer guidance on handling some of the more common ethical problems that might a-rise in the course of doing business. 62) It is hoped that having such a policy will lead to greater ethical awareness, consistency in application, and the avoidance of ethical disasters.63) An increasing number of companies also requires employees to attend seminars regarding business conduct, which often include discussion of the company's policies, specific case studies, and legal requirements. Some companies even require their employees to sign agreements stating that they will abide by the company' s rules of conduct.Many companies are assessing the environmental factors that can lead employees to engage in unethical conduct. A competitive business environment may call for unethical behavior. Lying has become expected in fields such as trading. An example of this are the issues surrounding the unethical actions of the Saloman Brothers.Not everyone supports corporate policies that govern ethical conduct. Some claim that ethical problems are better dealt with by depending upon employees to use their own judgment.Others believe that corporate ethics policies are primarily rooted in utilitarian concerns, and that they are mainly to limit the company' s legal liability, or to curry public favor by giving the appearance of being a good corporate citizen. Ideally, the company will avoid a lawsuit because its employees will follow the rules. 64) Should a lawsuit occur, the company can claim that the problem would not have arisen if the employee had only followed the code properly.Sometimes there is disconnection between the company' s code of ethics and the company' s actual practices. 65) Thus, whether or not such conduct is explicitly sanctioned by management, at worst, this makes the policy duplicitous (搞两面派的), and, at best, it is merely a marketing tool.(61)

考题 4 Hogg Products Company (HPC), based in a developing country, was recently wholly acquired by American OverseasInvestments (AOI), a North American holding company. The new owners took the opportunity to completely reviewHPC’s management, culture and systems. One of the first things that AOI questioned was HPC’s longstandingcorporate code of ethics.The board of AOI said that it had a general code of ethics that HPC, as an AOI subsidiary, should adopt. Simon Hogg,the chief executive of HPC, disagreed however, and explained why HPC should retain its existing code. He said thatHPC had adopted its code of ethics in its home country which was often criticised for its unethical business behaviour.Some other companies in the country were criticised for their ‘sweat shop’ conditions. HPC’s adoption of its code ofethics, however, meant that it could always obtain orders from European customers on the guarantee that productswere made ethically and in compliance with its own highly regarded code of ethics. Mr Hogg explained that HPC hadan outstanding ethical reputation both locally and internationally and that reputation could be threatened if it wasforced to replace its existing code of ethics with AOI’s more general code.When Ed Tanner, a senior director from AOI’s head office, visited Mr Hogg after the acquisition, he was shown HPC’soperation in action. Mr Hogg pointed out that unlike some other employers in the industry, HPC didn’t employ childlabour. Mr Hogg explained that although it was allowed by law in the country, it was forbidden by HPC’s code ofethics. Mr Hogg also explained that in his view, employing child labour was always ethically wrong. Mr Tanner askedwhether the money that children earned by working in the relatively safe conditions at HPC was an important sourceof income for their families. Mr Hogg said that the money was important to them but even so, it was still wrong toemploy children, as it was exploitative and interfered with their education. He also said that it would alienate theEuropean customers who bought from HPC partly on the basis of the terms of its code of ethics.Required:(a) Describe the purposes and typical contents of a corporate code of ethics.

考题 In 1959 Frederick Herzberg developed the Two-Factor theory of motivation. His research showed that certain factors were the true motivators or satisfiers. Hygiene factors, in contrast, created dissatisfaction if they were absent or inadequate. Dissatisfaction could be prevented by improvements in hygiene factors but these improvements would not alone provide motivation. Herzberg showed that to truly motivate an employee a business needs to create conditions that make him or her feel fulfilled in the workplace. C Company aims to motivate its employees both by paying attention to hygiene factors and by enabling satisfiers. For example, it motivates and empowers its employees by appropriate and timely communication, by delegating responsibility and involving staff in decision making. It holds forums every year in which staff can be part of the discussions on pay rises. This shows recognition of the work people do and rewards them. The staff can even influence what food goes onto its restaurant menus. Employees thus become motivated to make choices that will increase their use of the restaurants. According to Herzberg, what may be the factors of motivation A.The true motivators B.The true motivators and the hygiene factors C.Achievement recognition and job security D.All above

考题 资料:Anything that affects the smooth flow of information is known as noise. This might be, for example, the language used,an in appropriate use of technology or the different levels of skill and knowledge of the sender and receiver.
