26、C6.答案: BPART THREE Read the following text. Each question has four suggested answers or ways of finishing the sentence, A, B, C and D. Mark one letter A, B, C or D for the answer you choose. Effective communication is essential for all organizations. It links the activities of the various parts of t

27、he organization and ensures that everyone is working toward a common goal. It is also extremely important for motivating employees. Staff need to know how they are getting on, what they are doing right and in which areas they could improve. Working alone can be extremely difficult and it is much eas

28、ier if someone takes an interest and provides support. Employees need to understand why their job is important and how it contributes to the overall success of the firm. Personal communication should also include target setting. People usually respond well to goals, provided these are agreed between

29、 the manager and subordinate and not imposed. However, firms often have communications problems that can undermine their performance. In many cases, these problems occur because messages are passed on in an inappropriate way. There are, of course, several Ways of conveying information to others in t

30、he organization. These include speaking to them directly, e-mailing, telephoning or sending a memo. The most appropriate method depends on example, anything that is particularly sensitive or confidential, such as an employees appraisal, should be done face-to-face.One of the main problems for senior

31、 executives is that they do not have the time or resources needed to communicate effectively. In large companies, for example, it is impossible for senior managers to meet and discuss progress with each employee individually. Obviously this task can be delegated but at the cost of creating a gap bet

32、ween senior management and staff. As a result, managers are often forced to use other methods of communication, like memos or notes, even if they know these are not necessarily the most suitable means of passing on messages.The use of technology, such as e-mail, mobile phones and network systems, is

33、 speeding up communication immensely. However, this does not mean that more investment in technology automatically proves beneficial: system can become outdated or employees may lack appropriate training. There are many communications tools now available but a firm cannot afford all of them. Even if

34、 it could, it does not actually need them all. The potential gains must be weighed up against the costs, and firms should realize that more communication does not necessarily mean better communication.As the number of people involved in an organization increases, the use of written communication ris

35、es even faster. Instead of a quick conversation to sort something out numerous messages can be passed backwards and forward. This can lend to a tremendous amount of paperwork and is often less effective than face to face communication. When you are actually talking to someone you can discuss things

36、until you are happy they have understood and feedback is immediate. With written messages, however, you are never quite sure how it will be received. What you think you have said and what the other person thinks you have said can be very different.The amount of written information generated in large

37、 organization today can lead to communication overload. So much information is gathered that it gets in the way of making decisions. Take a look at the average managers desk and you will see the problemit is often covered in letter, reports and memos. This overload can lead to inefficiencies. For ex

38、ample, managers may not be able to find the information they want when they need it. Communication is also becoming more difficult with the changes occurring in employment patterns. With more people working part-time and working from home, managing communication is becoming increasingly complex.1. E

Training needs are based on an analysis of job descriptions and job specifications. A job description should give details of the performance that is 3 for a specific job, and a job speci

Successful training programs depend on an understanding of the difference between learning about skills and training in using them. It is frequently

48、 said that learning about skills takes place off the job, in the classroom; but training in using those skills takes place on the job, by 7 of such activities as job rotation and planned experience.It is always difficult to evaluate the costs and savings of a training program. The success of such a

49、program depends not only on the methods used but also on the 8 of the staff who do the training.
