Вопрос № 156.772

Выручайте не успеваю доделать всю контрольную(((. Cначала идет текст с ним ничего делать не надо!!!Задания под текстом!Заранее спасибо. 1) A company can be also called a firm or a business. When it is producing goods or trading, we say it is in business. A company which is just starting up is going into business and a firm which stops operating goes out of business. If a firm becomes bigger, it expands. The expansion means that a company will produce more goods or sell more products. A manufacturer produces goods. They are its products.

What product s in our domestic market can be competitive abroad? VII. Write a dialogue. One of you is an importer to Russia, the other is an exporter of the same product. Speak about advantages and disadvantages of exporting and importing. Use if necessary the following words and phrases. Importer (Dangerous to go into business, Difficult to expand, Always competitive because of the quality, sales are low because of price) Exporter (To avoid the competitors,To sell at more expensive prices,To be the best,To be competitive,To win the customers,Difficult to go into business) 2) THE SOLE PROPRIETOR Many businesses are sole proprietorships, firms owned and operated by a single person. When a person decides to open an independent business, that person is then entirely responsible for its success or failure. Any profits go to the owner; any losses are his or her responsibility as well. If the losses prove to be greater than the investment, the individual is responsible for paying them, even if this depletes his personal assets. One of the advantages of a sole proprietorship is that an owner can make decisions quickly and decisively without having to consult others. And an individual proprietor by law, pays fewer taxes and at a lower rate than a corporation does. There are disadvantages of this form of business organization, however. A sole proprietorship ends with the incapacity or death of the owner. The assets can be inherited by a person who may then become an operator, but legally the business dies with its owner. Also, since it is dependent upon the amount of money the owner has saved or can borrow, usually it does not develop into a large-scale enterprise. In spite of its limitations, the sole proprietorship is well adapted to many kinds of small businesses and suits the temperament of many persons who like to exercise initiative and be their own bosses. Some economic contributions of a small business are: ♦ A small busine ss is often the starting point for developing a new product or service. One person tries out an idea. If it is successful, the business grows, or the product may be bought by a larger firm. ♦ The small business can give an individual a chance to gain experience, which the person may use later on a large scale. ♦ Small businesses are particularly well suited for meeting specialized local needs. ♦ Artisans can provide individualized products for customers who have grown weary of mass-produced goods. ♦ Small businesses provide a service where knowing one's customers is important. ♦ Sole proprietors are reassuring to customers who be lieve an individual who is accountable will do a good job. Small businesses often grow into large ones, adding to the economic vitality of the nation. Small business advocates contend that 55 percent of American technical innovations comes from small — and medium-size businesses. Certainly, many of the creative innovators in the American computer industry, including those who built successful companies in what is now known as Silicon Valley, California, started out as outsiders working on hand-assembled machines in their garages. They have become part of American business lore. By any measurement, small businesses are an important part of the creativity, and the competition that provides new strength to the American economy. Of course, it is true that small businesses often fail. But in the United States "failure" of a small business venture does not carry with it the social stigma or opprobrium for the failed entrepreneur — that it does in some countries. Often, failure of a small business venture turns out to be a valuable learning experience for the entrepreneur, who may be more successful the second or the third time. Unsuccessful attempts to start a business become part of the larger process of sorting out the market and making it more effici ent, according to small business experts. Answer the following questions to the text. 1. What are sole proprietorships? 2. What are advantages of this form of business organization? 3. If you inherited a business, what would you do with it? 4. What kind of persons would be good sole proprietors? Give your own reasons. 5. What are economic contributions of small businesses? 6. Why4o you think small — and medium-size businesses play such an important role in the economy of a country? 7. What do you know about development of small businesses in our country? 8. Does "failure" of a small business venture carry with it the social stigma for the failed entrepreneur in our country? VII. Look trough the text again. a) Divide the text into several parts and name each of them. Give their summary in 3—5 sentences. b) Say what the main i dea of the last part is. c) How do you understand the phrase "social stigma"? Is it typical for our country to use it? VIII. Write a dialogues. a) Student A. You have recently inherited a small business and would like to operate it. But your wife is absolutely against it. Try to persuade her that it would be a valuable learning experience and you can make a big profit. Student В. Your husband is eager to become a sole proprietor but you have recently read an article about private companies and think that it is a dangerous and difficult business. Persuade your husband not to start it. b) Student A. You have started a business of your own and work day and night. Your friend thinks that it is easy to operate it and doesn't believe that you make a lot of efforts in doing it. Explain him all the difficulties of a sole proprietorship. Student B. Your friend is a sole proprietor. You think he does nothing but making money. Try to give all argume nts and facts to prove your point.

Вопрос № 156.773

Выручайте не успеваю доделать всю контрольную(((. Cначала идет текст с ним ничего делать не надо!!!Задания под текстом!Заранее спасибо. 3) MARKETING AND PROMOTION Usually a great fortune and success in business come not only because of luck and happy circumstances in somebody's life, but due to thinking ahead, to the knowledge of people's psychology and market. Read the text about marketing and promotion and decide how much they are important for success in business. When a company starts to sell goods in a new market, they often do some market research to see if the project is feasible. They research (investigate) the market potential to see if they will make money by selling in the new market (i.e. to see if the product is viable). One way to assess the market potential is to take a stand to a Trade Fair where companies can exhibit samples of their products and see what response they get from prospective c ustomers. The Trade Fair is an exhibition of goods, and a company exhibits a sample of its product at its stand. This is also a form of publicity (or advertising) and the company representative will probably hand out brochures to advertise (or promote) the product further. Often journalists (the press) write about the Trade Fair and sometimes companies hold a press conference if they want to promote a particular model or range. (Each different type of a car, a bike etc. is a model. All the different models made by a company make up its range. The full range of goods is normally displayed in the company's catalogue. The catalogue is a booklet or a brochure). Another way of promoting (or publicizing) a new product is to place advertisements in magazines or newspapers. Advertisements are also called adverts or ads for short. A plan to do a lot of advertising of one product is called a campaign. Starting an advertising campaign on a new product is known as launching the p roduct. The aim of publicity/promotion is to interest customers, clients (or buyers ) in the product. Initially customers/clients might make inquiries about the product. When they decide to buy, they place an order. At a Trade Fair companies are trying to win (obtain) as many orders as possible. However, before a client places an order he wants to know many things: how long delivery takes, whether the company can supply spare parts, what the after sales service is like. (All the individual parts in a model are called components. If one of the components breaks the customer will want a spare part. If the product is complicated, skilled workers might be needed to fit spare parts of to service oi maintain the machinery. Any maintenance or servicing the company does after it has sold the product is called after sales service). Answer the following questions to the text. 1. Why do companies do some market research before they start to sell goods? 2. What are t he ways to assess the market potential? 3. Where is the full range of goods normally displayed? 4. What do you think of advertising? Do you consider it effective nowadays? 5. What kind of advertising do you find the most effective? 6. What inquiries can a customer make before he places an order? 7. Is after sales service important? Why? 8. Do you know any famous exhibitions or Trade Fairs which are held in our country? 9. What exhibition centers have you heard of? VII. Write a dialogues. Do not forget to use the active vocabulary. 1. A sole proprietor has a meeting with a marketing specialist. Student A. You are a sole proprietor whose production has to be promoted. But you do not have much finance for a big campaign. You ask the marketing specialist for advice how to advertise your goods both cheaper and more effectively. Student B. You are an experienced marketing specialist. You have to give advice to a sole proprietor who needs your help in promoting his production. Do your best to help him with his problem. 2. An outsider is speaking to a young marketing spec ialist about advertising. Student A. You are a common person who is absolutely sure that publicity plays on our emotions, distracts our attention from more important things and is absolutely unnecessary. You tell your interlocutor about it. Student B. You are a beginning marketing specialist. You are very confident and can prove your point of view. Your opinion is that the world can not exist without advertising. Without it how would people choose what to buy? Try to persuade your interlocutor that you are right.
