Well,
what usually happens is that an employer will advertise a vacancy or new post —
sometimes both inside and outside the company. Then, after they have received
all the applications, they shortlist the candidates, choosing those who appear
to meet their criteria. Next, they will assemble an interview panel and call
the candidates to an interview Some employers choose to check references at
this stage to avoid delays later, while others wait until after the interview
when they have chosen one of the candidates. Provided the panel are happy, the
employer will make a job offer and the successful candidate starts work. Often
they attend induction sessions or are given a mentor who helps to train new
staff.
Ну, что обычно происходит, то, что работодатель будет
рекламировать вакансию или новую должность — иногда и внутри и снаружи
компании. Затем после того, как они получили все заявления, они включают в
окончательный список кандидатов, выбирая тех, кто, кажется, соответствует их критериям.
Затем, они соберут группу интервью и назовут кандидатов к интервью. Некоторые
работодатели принимают решение проверить ссылки на данном этапе, чтобы избежать
задержек позже, в то время как другие ждут до окончания интервью, когда они
выбрали одного из кандидатов.При условии, что группа довольна, работодатель
сделает предложение о работе и кандидат начинает работу. Часто они посещают
индукционные сессий или дают наставника, который помогает обучать новых
сотрудников.

candidates often fill in an application form and write a covering

interview. Sometimes candidates will take a psychometric test before
the interview to assess their mental ability and reasoning skills. These days
it is normal for successful candidates to hove to work а

Made in Europe
By Jo Johnson, Fred Kapner and Richard McGregor
Almost every fashion label outside the top super-luxury brands is either already
manufacturing in Asia or thinking of it. Coach, the US leather goods maker, is a classis
example. Over the past five years, it has lifted all its gross margins by manufacturing
solely in low-cost markets. In March 2002 it closed its factory in Lares, Puerto Rico, its
last company-owned plant, and outsources all its products.
Burberry has many Asian licensing arrangements. In 2000 it decided to renew
Sanyo’s Japanese licence for 20 ten years. This means that almost half of Burberry’s
sales at retail value will continue to be produced under licence in Asia. At the same time
however, Japanese consumers prefer the group’s European-made products.
Sanyo is now creating to this demand for a snob alternative to the Burberry
products made in its factories across Asia by opening a flagship store in Tokyo’s Ginza,
where it sells Burberry products imported from Europe.
In interviews with the FT, many executives says the top luxury brands will
continue to be seen, particularly in Asia, as European. Domenico De Sole of Gucci says “
The Asian Consumer really dos believe – whether it’s true or not – that luxury comes
from Europe and must be made there to be the best.’
Serge Weinberg, Chief Executive of Pinault Printemps Redoute, which controls
Gucci, says it will not move Gucci’s production of shore. Yet some in the industry
recognize that change may be round the corner even for the superluxury brands. Patrizio
Bertelli, Chief Executive of Prada, says:’ The “Made in Italy” label is important but what
we are really offering is a style, and style is an expression of culture.’ He therefore
recognizes that quality fashion items may not always need to be produced in italy.

Discussion
Two Promotions
A.Work in pairs. Student A reads case 1 and answers the questions. Student B read
Case 2 and answer the questions.
Case 1 : Harley Davidson.
In 2003 the Harley Davidson brand was 100 years old. Although its brand image is based
on the spirit of wild and rebellious youth such as Marlon Brando in the film The Wild
One (1954), the typical consumer is very different. They are likely to be rich, middleaged
accountants trying to recapture their youth. The average age of Harley Davidson
customers is 46 compared with 36 for the rest of the motorbike industry. At the party to
celebrate the centenary, the surprise performance was actually Elton John, rather than the
Rolling Stones who many people had expected. This caused many of the 150,000 riders
and dealers to leave the event very unhappy. Although sales and earnings for Harley
Davidson have been increasing for the past 18 years, many people see the trouble on the
road ahead. The problem is Harley Davidson’s typical customers from the baby –boom
generation (1946 – 1964) and, as these customers get older, Harley Davidson may find its
market shrinking.
1. What is the brand image of Harley Davidson? Brand image of Harley
Davidson is based on the spirit of wild and rebellious youth such as
Marlon Brando in the film The Wild One (1954)
2. Why were many people unhappy about the music at the party? Because, at
the party to celebrate the centenary, the surprise performance was
actually Elton John, rather than the Rolling Stones who many people had
expected
3. What problem could have Harley Davidson have in the future? The
problem is market shrinking, because Harley Davidson’s typical
customers from the baby –boom generation (1946 – 1964) and, as these
customers get older
4. What can Harley Davidson fo to preserve it sales? Should it change its
brand image? Should it look for a new market segments? Should it stretch
its brand? My opinion is Harley Davidson should look for a new market
segment
Case 2 : JCB
JCB is a world-famous engineering company. It was founded in 1945 by Joseph Cyril
Bamford. He began his business working alone in a small garage. JCB makes
construction and agricultural equipment such as tractors, earth-moving vehicles, and
loading machines. Now its world headquarters in England is one of the finest
engineering factories in Europe. The company produces over 130 different models on
four different continents and sells a full range of equipment in over 150 countries. It is
truly a global brand.
JCB’s research showed that its customers associated with the company with the
following brand values :’yellow,’digger’, and ‘durable’. Adult saw the brand and being
functional. Children, on the other hand, saw the brand as ‘big’, ‘muddy’ and ‘fun’. JCB
made a decision to stretch its brand.
1. Where does the name JCB come from? JCB come from the name of Joseph Cyril
Bamford. He is founded a world-famous engineering company(JCB)
2. What was surprising about JCB’s customer research? JCB’s research showed

Road ragers in the sky
By Derek Brown
Airlines and their long-suffering customers are reporting a steep climb in air rage
incidents. Some incidents are apparently caused by problems which are familiar to many
regular travellers. One case reported from America stemmed from an interminable delay
in takeoff, when passangers were cooped up in their aircraft on the tarmac or our hours,
without food, drink or information. Mass unrest is less common the individual
misbehaviour, as in the case of the convict who recently went crazy on a flight, attacked
the crew and tried to open the door in mind flight.
The psychology of air rage is a new are o study, and there are almost as many
explanations as examples. Most analysis of the phenomenon blame alcohol, but many
people now think that the airlines are at fault. To cut costs, they are cramming ever more
passangers into their aircraft, while reducing cabin crew, training, and quality of service,
all o which increase passenger frustration. In addition, there are increasing concern in the
US about another cost-cutting exercise, which could seriously harm passengers’ health:
cabin ventilation.
I. Modern aircraft are equipped with sophisticated air conditioning devices –
but running them at.optimum capacity burns up valuable aviation fuel.
Many airlines routinely instruct their flight crews to run the systems on
minimum settings. Champaignes for improved air quality claim that this
can lead to irritability and disorientation.
In the US, the soaring number of passenger complaints across a wide range of
issues is reflected in a number of new internet sites which criticize the airline and demand
better service. One of the sites is demanding an air passengers’ Bill of Rights.
Cabin and flight crews, who are in the front line of the battle against disruptive
and dangerous in-flight behaviour, have called for stiffer penalties against the offenders.
Management have also called or legislation – while denying that its cost-cutting practices
have contributed to the problem. But there are some signs, in the US at least, that the
airlines are at last attempting to respond to customer dissatisfaction. Some major lines
have announced concessions to the most frequent complaint for all, and are removing
seats to make more room for their customers.
