第八單元Moneyremainsanimportantmotivatorbutorganizationsshouldnotimaginethatitistheonlyonethatmatters.Inpractice,highperformerstendtotakeforgrantedthattheywillgetagoodfinancialpackage.Theyseekmotivationfromothersources.
金錢(qián)是一種重要的激勵(lì)因素,但老板們不應(yīng)當(dāng)把錢(qián)看成是唯一起重要作用的激勵(lì)因素.事實(shí)上,高效員工認(rèn)為他們獲得豐厚的薪酬是理所當(dāng)然的.他們還尋求其他方面的動(dòng)力.
Thechallengeofthejobisanotheressentialmotivatorforhighperformers.Suchpeopleeasilybecomedemotivatediftheysensethattheirorganisationhaslittleornorealsenseofwhereitisgoing.
具有挑戰(zhàn)性的工作對(duì)于高效員工來(lái)說(shuō)是另一個(gè)關(guān)鍵性的激勵(lì)因素.高效員工如果覺(jué)得自己服務(wù)的企業(yè)對(duì)于未來(lái)的發(fā)展方向缺乏明確的認(rèn)識(shí),他們就會(huì)喪失積極性.Iftheyfindthatitisnotinterestedinthemaspeoplebutonlyashighperformingcommodities,itwillhardlybesurprisingiftheirloyaltyisminimal.Ontheotherhand,ifanorganizationdoesinvestinitspeople,itismuchmorelikelytowinloyaltyfromthemandcreateacommunityoftalentandhighperformancethatwillworrycompetitors.
一旦他們覺(jué)得企業(yè)將自己僅僅作為高效商品來(lái)看待,而不是作為人來(lái)加以重視,他們的忠誠(chéng)度一落千丈也就不足為奇了.相反,如果企業(yè)為員工的發(fā)展進(jìn)行投資,就很可能贏得他們的忠誠(chéng),就能培育出高效創(chuàng)新的團(tuán)隊(duì),這會(huì)讓競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手感到惶惶不安.

TheWorldTradeOrganisationhasforcedtheEuropeanUniontophaseoutitsoldquotasystemthatguaranteedWestIndiangrowersmarketaccess,andthere'snowayshecanmatch最低價(jià)ofthegiantUScorporationsthatdominatethemarketfortheworld'sfavouritefruit.
世界貿(mào)易組織已經(jīng)迫使歐盟廢除了曾經(jīng)確保西印度群島農(nóng)場(chǎng)主進(jìn)入歐洲市場(chǎng)的傳統(tǒng)配額制度.在香蕉這種全世界最受歡迎的水果市場(chǎng)上,美國(guó)的一些商業(yè)巨頭占據(jù)著絕對(duì)的主導(dǎo)地位,其價(jià)格優(yōu)勢(shì)是她(丹尼斯)根本無(wú)法抗衡的.
Foritssupporters,fairtradeisanexampleofhowworldtradecanandshouldberuntotacklepoverty.Producersareallsmallscaleandmustbepartofacooperativeordemocraticallyrunassociationofworkerswhoobservehighsocialandenvironmentalstandards.
在其支持者看來(lái),公平貿(mào)易以一種實(shí)例證明了世界貿(mào)易能夠消除貧困,而且也應(yīng)該如此.種植戶的規(guī)模都很小,他們必須加入合作性的或者以民主方式運(yùn)營(yíng)的協(xié)會(huì),這些協(xié)會(huì)成員遵守嚴(yán)格的社會(huì)和環(huán)境標(biāo)準(zhǔn).
Itisironic,though,thatfairtrade,whichwasdesignedtocountertheinjusticesofthemainstreamtradingsystem,coulditselfbecomeavictimoftheWTO.Technically,itcouldbebannedbecauseWTOrulestheoreticallyprohibit"differentiation"betweenproductsonthebasisoftheirmeansofproduction.
然而,頗具諷刺意味的是,原本旨在減少全球貿(mào)易體系內(nèi)種種不公平現(xiàn)象的公平貿(mào)易竟然也曾經(jīng)成為世界貿(mào)易組織的犧牲品.從技術(shù)上講,WTO有權(quán)封殺公平貿(mào)易,因?yàn)閃TO的公則禁止根據(jù)生產(chǎn)方式給予商品差異化待遇.

在未來(lái)幾年里,美諾將面臨嚴(yán)峻的形勢(shì).一方面它要在白色家電的高端市場(chǎng)上領(lǐng)先于競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手,另一方面它又需要吸引對(duì)價(jià)格越來(lái)越敏感的新生代家電消費(fèi)者.就廚房電器而言,美諾產(chǎn)品的奢侈程度不亞于瑞士名表.
第十一單元

有些行業(yè),包括賓館業(yè),休閑業(yè)以及軟件和計(jì)算機(jī)服務(wù)業(yè),依然在遮遮掩掩.然而,隨著投資者的關(guān)注,政府的監(jiān)管和來(lái)自同行的壓力形成了要求披露更多信息的合力,這些行業(yè)正淪為數(shù)量越來(lái)越小的少數(shù)派.
