题目

4 Global Imaging is a fast growing high tech company with some 100 employees which aims to double in size over the

next three years. The company was set up as a spin out company by two research professors from a major university

hospital who now act as joint managing directors. They are likely to leave the company once the growth objective is

achieved.

Global Imaging’s products are sophisticated imaging devices facing a growing demand from the defence and health

industries. These two markets are very different in terms of customer requirements but share a related technology.

Over 90% of sales are from exports and the current strategic plan anticipates a foreign manufacturing plant being set

up during the existing three-year strategic plan. Current management positions are largely filled by staff who joined in

the early years of the company and reflect the heavy reliance on research and development to generate the products

to grow the business. Further growth will require additional staff in all parts of the business, particularly in

manufacturing and sales and marketing.

Paul Simpson, HR manager at Global Imaging is annoyed. This stems from the fact that HR is the one management

function not involved in the strategic planning process shaping the future growth and direction of the company. He

feels trapped in a role traditionally given to HR specialists, that of simply reacting to the staffing needs brought about

by strategic decisions taken by other parts of the business. He feels even more threatened by one of the joint managing

directors arguing that HR issues should be the responsibility of the line managers and not a specialist HR staff

function. Even worse, Paul has become aware of the increasing number of companies looking to outsource some or

all of their HR activities.

Paul wants to develop a convincing case why HR should not only be retained as a core function in Global Imaging’s

activities, but also be directly involved in the development of the current growth strategy.

Required:

Paul has asked you to prepare a short report to present to Global Imaging’s board of directors:

(a) Write a short report for Paul Simpson on the way a Human Resource Plan could link effectively with Global

Imaging’s growth strategy. (12 marks)

4.6 Assume today’s date is 16 April 2005.Henry, aged 48, is the managing director of Happy Home Ltd, an unquoted UK company specialising in interiordesign. He is wealthy in his own right and is married to Helen, who is 45 years old. They have two children – Stephen,who is 19, and Sally who is 17.As part of his salary, Henry was given 3,000 shares in Happy Home Ltd with an option to acquire a further 10,000shares. The options were granted on 15 July 2003, shortly after the company started trading, and were not part ofan approved share option scheme. The free shares were given to Henry on the same day.The exercise price of the share options was set at the then market value of £1·00 per share. The options are notcapable of being exercised after 10 years from the date of grant. The company has been successful, and the currentvalue of the shares is now £14·00 per share. Another shareholder has offered to buy the shares at their market value,so Henry exercised his share options on 14 April 2005 and will sell the shares next week, on 20 April 2005.With the company growing in size, Henry wishes to recruit high quality staff, but the company lacks the funds to paythem in cash.

正确答案:
(a) To: Paul Simpson – HR Manager
From:
Human Resource Planning and Global Imaging’s future growth
I will use this report to highlight the main phases in HR (human resource) planning and then deal with the specific HR
activities, which will be needed to support the achievement of the growth strategy.
There are four major stages in creating a human resource plan. Firstly, auditing the current HR resources in Global Imaging,
as a relatively young company one could anticipate it having a relatively young labour force many of whom will be
professionally qualified. Secondly, the planned growth will require a forecast of both the number and type of people who will
be needed to implement the strategy. Thirdly, planning will be needed on how to meet the needs identified in the forecast –
how do we fill the gap in between the human reources we currently have and those needed to fulfil the plan? Finally, there
will be the need to control those resources in terms of measuring performance against the goals set.
The key activities to achieve the growth goals will be:
Recruitment, selection and staffing – here the key issues will be to recruit the necessary additional staff and mix of suitably
qualified workers. The growth of the company will create management succession issues including the two managing
directors, who are looking to exit the business in the foreseeable future. The rate of growth will also make it necessary to
manage significant internal transfers of people in the company as new positions and promotion opportunities are created.
Compensation and benefits – the start up phase of a company’s life is often a stage where a formal reward structure has not
been created. It also may be necessary to meet or exceed the labour market rates in order to attract the necessary talent. As
the firm grows there will be a need to ensure that the firm is competitive in terms of the rewards offered, but there is an
increasing need to ensure equity between newcomers and staff already employed in the firm. These pressures will normally
lead to the creation of a formal compensation structure.
Employee training and development – here there is a need to create an effective management team through management
development and organisational development.

Overall, the HR implications of the proposed growth strategy are profound and there is a significant danger that failure to linkstrategy and the consequent HR needs will act as a major constraint on achieving the strategy.

(2) Do you often surf the internet to get some useful information?  (3)What are the advantages for a company to have a website?

    正确答案: 【参考范例】
    A: Our company is planning to improve its websites. What do you think is important to think about?
    B: I am thinking about up-to-date contents, because our website visitors will expect up-to-date contents from us.
    A: That is for sure. A well-designed website, together with consistent up-to-date contents will attract more customers and as a result the number of website visitors will be increased.
    B: Exactly. Moreover, it is also important to buy an up-to-date computer system to replace the existing system.
    A: I agree with you on that. With an up-to-date computer system, we will be able to use the latest software and many mechanical breakdowns can be avoided.
    B: Right. By avoiding troubles, we can save much time.
    A: In addition, it is of significant importance to install a personal firewall. A powerful personal firewall can prevent hackers from taking control of the remote system, thus avoiding the possible damage into the organization’s central network.
    B: I totally agree with you. To sum up, up-to-date contents, up-to-date computer system and a personal firewall are the three important factors to consider for the improvement of the company’s website.

  • 第14题:

    Text 3 Employees are often said to be a company's biggest resource.It is equally true that they are its biggest liability.Scarcely a week goes by without a company falling victim to employees-turned-cnemies-or-embarrassments.The most familiar type of enemy within is the fraudster.The Economist Intelligence Unit conducts a regular poll of senior executives on the subject of fraud committed by insiders.Two year ago the poll discovered that about 70%of companies had suffered from at least one instance of fraud,up from 61%in the previous survey.Fraud is often petty.But fraud can also be more harmful:think of former employees setting up rivals using stolen technology and purloined client lists.Even more dangerous is the vandal.Thieves at least have a rational motive.Vandals are driven by a desire for revenge that can know no limit.A company that specialises in corporate investigation gives a detailed account of the story of a British manufacturing company that was under restructuring.A member of the infonnation technology department discovered that his name was on the list of people whose services would no longer be required.He built a"backdoor"into the company's IT system from his home computer and set about causing damage.What can companies do to reduce the threat from these wolves in sheep's clothing?A lot depends on which particular sorts ofwolves you are dealing with.Yet three principles are always worth bearing in mind.The first is that firms need to focus on the people who have the greatest capacity to do harm-those who control the money and information.The more complicated companies become,the harder it is to identify where power really lies.But one thing is clear.The more dependent on information firms get,the more IT specialists can compromise the whole business.The least companies can do is to keep a careful watch on the IT department.The second is that the human touch is still invaluable.Companies can certainly strengthen their hand by installing software that can identify unusual behaviour or monitor e-mail,or by employing professionals to double-check the accounts.The best way to avoid these problems is to treat our employees with respect.The biggest problem with trying to do more with less is that you can end up tuming your biggest resources into your biggest liabilities.
    The word"liability"(Para.1)suggests_____

    A.employees may cause problems to the company
    B.employees are the fortune of the company
    C.some employees are embarrassed by the company
    D.the company can rely entirely on employees

    答案:A
    解析:
    词汇理解题。根据定位词定位到第一段第二句。第一段说到员工是企业最重要的资源,但是随后提到员工倒戈或让企业蒙羞的事件发生,所以liability-词表明员工会给企业带来麻烦,故A项为正确选项。【干扰排除】B项“员工是公司的财富”,第一句说到员工是resources(资源),但It is equally true that...(同样也是……)以及后面提到的问题,表明这里应当是相反的含义;C项“公司让一些员工感到尴尬”,第三句所指的是有的员工使公司尴尬,而不是公司让员工尴尬;D项是一个混淆选项,原文中并没有提到公司依赖员工,而且entirely过于绝对。
