6. Английский язык для экономистов

PETER: Good Morning. My name is Peter Jackson, I am the new management trainee.

MANAGING DIRECTOR: Hello, Peter! Management trainees are supposed to make themselves familiar with every department of the company. I think you might find it use­ful to write a company profile. Visit all the department heads. Introduce yourself. Find out everything you can about how the company is organized, how each depart­ment operates. I tell you what. How would you like to write a short report for me, say by the end of the week?

PETER: Yes, of course.

MANAGING DIRECTOR: Oh, would you like to make a start now?

PETER: Yes, of course, but before getting down to my report, will you explain me some basic notions?

MANAGING DIRECTOR: What exactly are you interested in?

PETER: Well, does the company profit depend on the turnover?

MANAGING DIRECTOR: First of all, I believe, that the

company's profit depends on professional management,

capital invested, and reliable personnel. PETER: Oh, that's great! Thank you, I will remember that. MANAGING DIRECTOR: One more thing. The company's

image depends on its earnings per share and timely payout

dividends to shareholders.

PRESENTER: Today we are talking to John Knox about the structure of TMN Ltd. John is the General Manager of the branch factory. John, do you think you could tell us some­thing about the way TMN is actually organized?

JOHN KNOX: Yes, certainly. We employ about two thou­sand people all in all two different locations. Most people work here at our headquarters plant. And this is of course where we have the administrative departments.

PRESENTER: Perhaps you could say something about the departmental structure?

JOHN KNOX: Well, yes. First of all we've got different divisions. There's the production division which, as the name suggests, is responsible for production operations. And as you know we've got two factories. Oh, and I forgot to mention the most impor­tant division of all. That's finance division. The Financial Director is Fred Samuels. He's a very important man. And his task is to make sure the money-side of things is going all right. The accountant and such people, they report to him directly.

PRESENTER: Is that all?

JOHN KNOX: Oh no, no, there's personnel division. PRESENTER: Yes.

JOHN KNOX: That's quite separate. David Brown is Personnel Manager. And the Training Manager reports to him of course.

PRESENTER: What about Research and Development? Isn't

that a separate department? JOHN KNOX: Well, in terms of the laboratories, there are

two at each production plant. PRESENTER: Are there any other features worth mentioning? JOHN KNOX: Now there's the planning department. Ray
