随着金融危机的影响不断加深和越来越多的高学历人才加入职场竞争的行列,对于即将走入社会的大学生来说求职就业的压力可谓空前巨大。如何提升自身职业素质 和职场竞争力已成为大学生们关心的头等大事,一张能够证明职场商务英语素质的高含金量证书的重要性此时就更加凸显。目前在国内被广为接受的主要是下列主流 英语"洋证书"BEC 剑桥商务英语、托业、博思、雅思、托福等。但对于大学生来说,在时间、精力及财力都有限的情况下在究竟应该选择什么考试,究竟哪种证书含金量更高?本文就 将从各个角度详细剖析各考试的特点及利弊,将五大考试进行全面PK

首先要进行的是海外英语考试与国内英语考试的团体比拼。正像没有人会相信汉语水平考试的研发,外国人可以做到比中国人更专业一样,前面所列的五大海外考试 毋庸置疑的会比国内的英语考试更能测试出考生的真实英语水平。据了解,国内几个最权威的考试研发机构每年都会去剑桥大学考试委员会进行培训,学习世界最先 进的评测经验。抛开母语是英语不说,毕竟人家有着150年的考试研发及运营经验。所以,对于想进入中外知名企业的大学生和白领来讲,不管是BEC,托业, 博思,雅思,托福,选择任何一个海外英语证书都将是更为明智的选择。而这这五大海外考试各自的特点也非常鲜明,需要考生根据自身的情况来仔细甄别选择。

考试概况

BEC剑桥商务英语证书是在职业英语领域最早进入中国的证书考试,它是1993年中国教育部考试中心和英国剑桥大学考试委员会合作举办的考试,在知名高校 的大学生中最具影响力。BEC在外企有较高的认可度,被称为商务求职的通行证。同时BEC剑桥商务英语证书被世界各地的众多大学、高等教育机构MBA项目 所认可,并将其作为入学考试的英语语言水平要求。

TOEIC即托业,是美国教育考试服务中心为大型跨国企业和政府机构开发设计的,托业诞生之初,是为日本度身打造的英语考试,发展到今天,托业主要用于测 试母语非英语人员在国际工作环境中英语交流的能力,200212月在北京、上海举行了首次考试。"托业"考试最突出的特点是在日本、韩国推广非常成功, 目前国内的日、韩企业比较认可该证书。

BULATS也就是"博思",同样为剑桥大学外语考试部研发,是特别为企业和政府机构设立,测试实际工作环境下的语言运用能力,能够快速,经济而可靠地对 职员、实习雇员、应聘者和外语学习者的听、说、读、写四种语言能力进行考核。其测试结果与欧洲语言测试协会(ALTE)的五个等级相链接,得到包括意大 利、法国等100多个非英语国家和地区的公司、政府机构的广泛认可。

IELTS雅思是由剑桥大学外语考试部、英国文化协会和澳大利亚教育国际开发署共同研发的国际英语水平测试。此项考试是为申请赴英语国家( 英国、 美国、澳大利亚、加拿大、新西兰等)留学、移民的非英语国家学生而设,用来评定考生运用英语的能力。2008年在中国的考生超过20万,是中国考生人数最 多的海外英语考试。

TOEFL托福是由美国教育考试服务中心研发的为申请去美国或加拿大等国家上大学或入研究生院学习的非英语国家学生提供的一种英语水平考试。美国教育考试服务中心由1965年开始承办此项考试的管理工作。

研发机构比较

以上五类考试基本上出自两大语言评测机构,剑桥大学外语考试部(ESOL)和美国教育考试服务处(ETS)。剑桥大学外语考试部是剑桥大学的直属部门,其作为非营利机构从事考试研发及运营已经有150年的时间,现为世界上最大的语言评测机构。

美国教育考试服务处成立于1947年,同样是世界上知名的私营非盈利教育考试评估机构,其旗下考试包括TOEFLGRE; GMAT考试等。

两家考试机构分别位于英国和美国,从知名度上来说两家不分仲伯,但剑桥大学外语考试部依托于剑桥大学,拥有强大的研发实力及深具英国精英教育传统的一丝不苟的学术态度,从考试品质上剑桥大学外语考试部略胜一筹。

Financial Planning: the factors involved in deciding on appropriate pricing strategies

正确答案:Suggested answers: a.In any single market three basic factors determine the boundaries of the pricing decision. The price floor or minimum price is bounded by product cost. The price ceiling or maximum price is bounded by competitive prices for comparable products and ability of customers to pay. Between the floor and ceiling for every product there is an optimum price which is a function of the demand for the product and the cost of supplying the product. The international executive must develop a pricing system and pricing policies that 'address these fundamental factors in each of the national markets in which his company operates. b.In addition to developing a pricing system the system must also be consistent with a number of uniquely international constraints. In addition to the diversity of national markets in all three basic dimensions—cost competition and demand—the international executive is also confronted by conflicting governmental tax policies and claims as well as government controls such as dumping legislation resale price maintenance legislation price ceilings and general review of price levels. Other factors affecting the international pricing decisions are the often surprisingly high international transportation costs middlemen in elongated international channels of distribution and multinational accounts demanding equal price treatment regardless of location. c.Pricing decisions have a major impact on a number of societal groups: consumers customers employees stockholders the public interest and of course the competition. These interest groups are affected by pricing decisions which in turn constrain the international executive. A widespread effect of international business is to lower prices. Within the corporation there are many interest groups and frequently conflicting price objectives. The divisional vice-president is concerned about profitability at the divisional level. Regional executives are concerned about profitability at the country level. d.The direction of international marketing seeks competitive prices in world markets.. The controller and financial vice-president are concerned about profits. The manufacturing vice-president seeks long runs for maximum manufacturing efficiency. The tax manager is concerned about compliance with government transfer pricing legislation and company counsel is concerned about the antitrust implications of international pricing practices. With such a large number of divergent and often conflicting interests combined with the limitations of our existing measures of demand it is premature to expect that we should be able to determine“optimal”prices in international marketing. A more feasible objective for the international executive is to formulate international pricing strategy and policy that will contribute rather than detract from company sales and profit objectives worldwide.
