9. When you want to classify someone in a company, you can do it according to:
- their responsibility;
- their position in the hierarchy;
- their job specification;
- their location.
10. Alice Everett (ae) has decided to explain to Hilary:
who is who in the company;
who is responsible for what in the company;
who everybody works for.
Read the conversation and classify everyone in the company.
Who is who in the company
AE: I think I’d better take this opportunity to explain to you exactly who’s who in the company. You’ll need to know who to go to if you want to contact a particular manager. Let’s start right at the top: David Burton is the Managing Director and his Personal Assistant is Mary Wilkins. The company is divided into four departments - Personnel, Marketing and Finance and Production.
HB: Uh-huh.
AE: Right. Let’s deal with each one in turn. Michael Scott looks after Production, and his title is Production Manager, and Daniel Harkin works as Personnel Assistant in the Production Department. Then there are two secretaries. Is that clear?
HB: Yes.
AE: Moving on to Personnel, we’ve got Sheila Polson, and her title is Personnel Director. Jane Hargreaves works for Sheila Polson as Personal Assistant. And then there are two secretaries in the department. OK?
HB: Yes, fine.
AE: As you know, I’m the Marketing Manager and for the next two months you are going to work as my Personal Assistant. Helen Wright and Karen Williams, the two secretaries in the department, will report to you. Is that clear?
HB: Uh-huh.
AE: And finally, Paul Cummins is responsible for the Finance Department. His PA is Judith Walker. And then there are three secretaries in the department. You’ve met one already, I think. So that’s a brief overview of the structure of the company. Do you have any questions?
