With the development of global economic integration, the business community is becoming more and more competitive.In order to stand out in business areas, we need to master effective communicative and proper interpersonal skills.Together with China's accession to the WTO, there is more emphasis on the importance of business etiquette.Thus I am going to talk about etiquette in business dealings.At the very beginning, I would like to give an introduction of business etiquette.“Etiquette is the general name of courtesy and ceremony.It refers to the established standards of conduct and procedures that people use to beautify themselves and respect others during the various social interactions.It embodies the politeness, courtesy, appearance, rite, etc.Etiquette is an important symbol of human civilization and social progress, which is not only the key part of communication, but also is the external manifestation of morality and culture.” When etiquette is used in business, it is formed into the business etiquette.That is to say, in the business interaction, there is a certain established and accepted procedure and means abiding by people to show respect to each other.The central role of the business etiquette is to reflect the mutual respect between people.Briefly, business etiquette is a general requirement for people’s appearance and manners in the business activities.For the classification, the widely common types are such as business negotiation etiquette, business letter etiquette, greeting etiquette, gift etiquette, conference etiquette, telephone etiquette, banquet etiquette and so on.Because business etiquette is a comprehensive subject, the so-called several branches, are relative.The different branches of business etiquette are mingling with each other.I am going to talk about greeting etiquette, gift etiquette, table etiquette, conference etiquette and dress etiquette one by one.Greeting Etiquette In different countries, people have different ways of greetings.“The impression you make starts with the greetings you give people.It's their first opportunity to assess your personality, your demeanor and your manners.Greeting people politely is an important skill to master both socially and in a business setting.To avoid making an unfavorable first impression, be sure that you know the proper etiquette for any situation you may encounter.Many western countries accept hugs and kisses as a popular form of greeting although a handshake is still the formal way of greeting people.”
In China, a handshake or a simple and kind salutation is common.Interactions in a business setting are, generally speaking, more formal than interactions in your private life.If it is your first time meeting someone, you should stand;shake his hand and say, “I'm glad to meet you.” If you have already been introduced to one another, say, “It's good to see you again,” or “It's good of you to join us.” It is proper to shake handsbut also how to sit and toast and any other manners that happen when we have dinner.When it is in china, we have our table etiquette.Chinese people love to eat and China is regarded as one of the world's greatest cuisines.During the long period of development of the eating culture, there formed many things about the eating that foreign visitors may find quite different from what they are used to and even feel weird.When called to table by the host, guests take the places assigned to them by the host.The order of the seating on the part of the host is somewhat complicated and follows strict rules.The first rule governs the guest of honor, who, if not a special guest for the occasion in question, is the eldest member of the family.In ordinary family get-togethers, the guest of honor is always the eldest member of the family.The guest of honor always occupies what in the American Wild West might have been termed the “Wild Bill Hickok Seat”, i.e., the seat that affords the most comprehensive view of the other guests as well as the best view of the entrance door to the room.If there is no seat facing the entrance door, then the “central” seat facing eastward is the seat of honor.A corollary to the respect shown to the guest of honor in the seating arrangement is the rule that the guest of honor “breaks the ice” by taking the first drink or by proposing the first toast, just as it is the guest of honor who is the first to begin eating.As to the mechanics of the first toast, the guest of honor raises his glass first, then the first “row”, the second “row”, etc., down the line as each “row” raises its glasses until the last “row” is reached, where upon everyone drinks at the same time, possibly to a special toast.As for western table etiquette, dinner usually begins with soup.The largest spoon at your plate is the soup spoon.It will be beside your plate at the right-hand side.If there is a fish course, it will probably follow the soup.There may be a special fork for the fish, or it may be similar to the meat fork.Often it is smaller.The main Course is usually served by the host himself, especially if it is a fowl or a roast which need to be carved.He will often ask each guest what piece he prefers, and it is quite proper to state your preference as to lean or fat, darker light.If a servant passes food around, he will pass the dish in at your left hand so that you can conveniently serve yourself with your right hand.Never serve yourself while the dish is on your right;it is then the turnof your neighbor on the right.It is polite to take some of everything that is passed to you.But if there is something you may not like, you may quietly say: “No thank you.” A salad is eaten with a fork only held in the right hand with points turned up.There is usually a special one for the salad, a little smaller than the meat fork.Bread is taken in the fingers and laid on the side plate or the edge of the large plate;it is never taken with a fork.Butter is taken from the butter dish with the butter knife and placed on the side plate, not on one's bread.It is impolite for a guest to leave the table during a meal, or before the hostess gives the signal at the end.When the hostess indicates that the dinner is over, she will start to rise from her seat and all the guests she raise from theirs at the same time.Conference Etiquette If you are going to companies, you are bound to have conference to attend.Prior to attending to the conference, do your homework and figure out whom you would like to meet and see over the next few days.Scan through the welcome packet and highlight any names of people you’d like to see.Upon arrival, make it your mission to network with the highlighted attendees.“Don’t come so hungry that you attack the bar area and food area as soon as you arrive.Networking is the time to meet and greet, and then eat and drink.About a half hour before the opening reception, get a snack.Make it something light but filling, like an apple or a smoothie.Then, you won’t be starving during the opening session.” The purpose of this event is to meet and greet people, which can be difficult when you’re carrying a drink and a plate.If you are alone at the networking or opening session, start off by approaching another individual or small group of two to three people.It can be awkward to approach a larger group, as they are harder to break into and to start a one-on-one conversation.After you have your initial conversations, ask your new contacts to have a drink with you or meet you near the buffet for food.Move around the room.When you meet someone, introduce yourself, exchange business cards, talk, possibly set-up anothertime to meet, or a time for a call when you return to the office.Shake hands as you leave;thank them and then move on to the next person.You need to come to the session prepared with notebook paper and pens.If you forgot to bring some, you may be able to find a notepad in your hotel room or at the front desk, but better to be prepared ahead of time.Don’t take up two or three seats.Move right on in and meet someone new, sitting next to you.Introduce yourself.Enjoy their company before the speaker begins.Arrive early, sit in the front and learn as much as you can.This is a time to learn.If you’re with a chatty attendee, politely tell them that you would love to talk after the session.Be polite, sincere, and firm.Tell them right at the beginning of the conversation.If you wait too long to say something, you can get hooked into the conversation, and it will be more uncomfortable to get out.Respect the speaker.As a speaker, it can be frustrating to be on a stage in front of a group and realize attendees are chatting among themselves.If you must have a conversation or make a phone call, please leave the room out of respect.Dress Etiquette It is often said that the first impression is the best impression.So, efforts must be taken to ensure that a positive long lasting impression is made the first time.Appearance and the way one carries oneself are the two things that are first noticed on entering a room.So, corporate dressing etiquette is to be given great importance.The way we dress reflects our inner self.Dress can make a person look confident and in control of the situation.Dress should be befitting the occasion.Identify the dress code followed in the business entity before appearing for the interview.Company website can give a general picture of the dress code followed.For example, while browsing through the careers in Accenture, India, one gets a view of the people and the way they have dressed helps in preparing oneself for the interview.Geographical and cultural environment influence the dress code to an extent.For instance, many Indian companies opt for casual attire because of the warm climate in the country.Formals like blazers are generally worn on important customer meetings, if necessary.The cultural environment is another significant determining factor.For example, wearingof a black tie is inappropriate in the presence of Japanese clients as black ties are worn during mourning.So selection of the dress must be made with great care.Dress attire can be casuals or formals.Men should be properly shaved and dressed to the occasion.While choosing formal attire, the suit, shirt, tie and the shoes must be in perfect co-ordination and well fitted, the tie knot should be in accordance to the situation, hair should be well groomed, aftershave must be applied, and it should not be too strong.Similarly, casual shirts and trousers must not be too flashy or too tight, never wear shorts to work.In case of women, skirt suit is ideal, but trousers too can be opted with formal closed shoes and suitable jeweler and perfume.Casuals should not be too flashy, never wear tight, revealing or short attire to work.Companies invest a great deal of time, effort and money on creating and maintaining brand image.The importance of proper attire has been accepted by many.Companies like Tata Consultancy Services provide a dress allowance to employees who are working with the customer onsite to create a better image on its manpower.The recognition of the power of a well dressed individual is reflected by this example.Customers are more willing to accept the ideas put forth by a well dressed person as the better the image projected, the better the confidence they have in you.The personality, the confidence can be made conspicuous by dressing in accordance to the situation.An enterprise with well dressed manpower can speak of better confidence, thus adding to its brand value.參考文獻(xiàn):

Work inpairs.Choose one of the way of working below and prepare a mini-presentation on the topic for the rest of the class.A: WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN??
Job-sharing
● Find someone you like.● Organise and plan how you share the work.●
●
Finding someone you like is the most important when you start a job-share.As job sharing is a way for two people to both fill one job,finding someone you like is very important for the success of the scheme.You may find one from your current workplace, or you may find one outside through all kinds of contacts.Organising and planing how you share the work is also important.If it’s shared reponsibility, there is no division of duties but two people have to split the hours clearly to ensure that the work flows continuously.If it’s divided responsibility, each partner has to be clear about his own case—load or project to focus on during his working hours.If it’s unrelated responsibility, the partners have to learn what their separate tasks are in the same department, and each has to do his own share well.Communication is another important factor to consider when you arrange the job-share,especially for shared responsibility.Partners have to communicate well so that jobs are done smoothly.Using email, voicemail messages, daily logs and notes are some techniques that help facilitate communication.B:WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN??
Working from home

(2)When your business is a partnership, relationship with the other person is very important.A good relationship with mutual trust and full co-operation brings out the potentials, experience and creativity to the full degree.With good relationship, it is easy for you to communicate with each other and deal with any new issues in time.Besides, it is also important that both are willing to share responsibilities.This will have direct impact on the success and failure of the business.With shared responsibilities, you can achieve your common objectives better and be strongly united against troubles and risks.On top of that, timely communication and decision-making will also help to improve the running of a business with partnership.六、作文memo1、you are a manager at Lar Bonner.After a meeting with staff, the company has agreed to extend parental leave for fathers from two weeks to three weeks.Write a memo to all staff.●refer to the previous meeting

行業(yè)介紹快餐行業(yè)
公司介紹McDonald's Corporation
隨著西方習(xí)俗和文化對亞洲的滲入,西方的快餐業(yè)也大量融進(jìn)中國市場。其中麥當(dāng)勞就是最成功的快餐行業(yè)中的例子。現(xiàn)在麥當(dāng)勞擁有超過31000家快餐廳,分布在全球121個國家和地區(qū),擁有39000人,無疑是世界快餐業(yè)的巨無霸。麥當(dāng)勞的成功和它管理的規(guī)范化和產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化及服務(wù)的周到密切相關(guān)。在對麥當(dāng)勞的參觀過程中,我們進(jìn)一步了解到麥當(dāng)勞內(nèi)的操作體系和程序,員工內(nèi)的獎懲制度以及顧客至上的原則。本人參考許多文獻(xiàn)及網(wǎng)上資料,將在本報(bào)告中對麥當(dāng)勞進(jìn)行以下幾方面的分析:公司文化,客戶價值,產(chǎn)品,員工及競爭對手等方面對麥當(dāng)勞終端市場做出描述并給出SWOT分析和評價,并對公司的未來發(fā)展給出個人的意見和建議。最后,將結(jié)合公司文化和自身特點(diǎn)談?wù)劚敬螌?shí)習(xí)的意義和感悟。
麥當(dāng)勞終端市場分析
1.企業(yè)文化
企業(yè)文化是一個公司的靈魂,是一個公司揚(yáng)帆遠(yuǎn)航的指南針。企業(yè)文化是為一個企業(yè)所信奉的主要價值觀,是一種含義深遠(yuǎn)的價值觀、神話、英雄人物標(biāo)志的凝聚。我將從以下幾個方面描述麥當(dāng)勞的企業(yè)文化
1.經(jīng)營理念特許經(jīng)營模式QSCV
特許經(jīng)營模式 麥當(dāng)勞采用特許經(jīng)營的方式,在全球范圍有越來越多的加盟店進(jìn)入,達(dá)到產(chǎn)品標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化、服務(wù)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化、促銷標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化,進(jìn)一步擴(kuò)大了它的品牌。麥當(dāng)勞提供日常營運(yùn)操作、培訓(xùn)、營銷、廣告、人力資源、采購和店鋪選址等廣泛的支持和保障,讓被特許人不僅在創(chuàng)業(yè)初始無后顧之憂,更能在未來餐廳發(fā)展上,贏在細(xì)節(jié)和執(zhí)行。
4.麥當(dāng)勞擁有世界上最優(yōu)秀的供應(yīng)鏈,通過與供應(yīng)商緊密合作,以全球化采購的方式,確保以最有競爭力的價格提供最優(yōu)質(zhì)的原料。
以租賃為主的房地產(chǎn)經(jīng)營策略
麥當(dāng)勞開展特許經(jīng)營主要是以購買或租賃地產(chǎn)的形式進(jìn)行,麥當(dāng)勞公司總部長期承租或購進(jìn)土地和房屋,然后將店面出租給各加盟店,這種經(jīng)營策略,實(shí)質(zhì)上是把第一債權(quán)人的權(quán)利轉(zhuǎn)讓給了麥當(dāng)勞總部,使它具備了從銀行取得貸款的資格,從而解決了各加盟者開店的資金困難,為麥當(dāng)勞特許經(jīng)營的順利開展奠定了堅(jiān)實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)。
聯(lián)合廣告基金制度
設(shè)立廣告基金是麥當(dāng)勞開展特許經(jīng)營的重要營銷策略,由加盟者聯(lián)合起來,共同籌集資金承擔(dān)廣告費(fèi)用,可以在更大范圍內(nèi)擴(kuò)大麥當(dāng)勞的統(tǒng)一品牌形象,彌補(bǔ)加盟者單獨(dú)進(jìn)行品牌宣傳廣告經(jīng)費(fèi)不足的問題。

Q代表優(yōu)質(zhì),是指麥當(dāng)勞為保障食品品質(zhì)制訂了極為嚴(yán)格的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。麥當(dāng)勞對品質(zhì)管理十分嚴(yán)格,視頻制作超過一定期限就舍棄不用,如漢堡包的時限是10分鐘,炸薯?xiàng)l的時間是7分鐘,原產(chǎn)品面包一般是15天,肉餅最多也不能超過3個月。麥當(dāng)勞的每一家分店食品質(zhì)量和配料都一樣,也同樣保證麥當(dāng)勞食品送到顧客手中之前,經(jīng)過了一系列周密的品質(zhì)保證系統(tǒng)。嚴(yán)格的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)使顧客在任何的時間,任何地點(diǎn)所品嘗到的麥當(dāng)勞食品都是同一品質(zhì)的,一切以質(zhì)量取勝。
S代表服務(wù),是指按照細(xì)心、關(guān)心和愛心的原則,提供熱情、周到、快捷的服務(wù)。麥當(dāng)勞餐廳的侍應(yīng)生謙虛有禮,餐廳設(shè)備先進(jìn)快捷。顧客等候的時間很短,還備有各類消毒的食品包裝,干凈方便。餐廳布置典雅,播放輕松的樂曲,顧客在用餐之余還能得到優(yōu)美的聽覺享受。
C代表清潔,是指麥當(dāng)勞制訂了必須嚴(yán)格遵守的清潔工作標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。如與昂你上崗前必須用特制的殺菌洗手液搓洗20秒,然后沖凈,烘干,甚至連廁所都規(guī)定了衛(wèi)生標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
V代表價值,即物有所值,是為了進(jìn)一步傳達(dá)麥當(dāng)勞的 “向顧客提供更有價值的高品質(zhì)“的理念。麥當(dāng)勞的食品講求味道、顏色、營養(yǎng)。價格與所提供的服務(wù)一致,讓顧客吃了之后感到真正的物有所值。
2.服務(wù)理念顧客第一;高效、快速;“苛刻”更多歡笑,更多選擇,盡在麥當(dāng)勞
為了使各加盟店都能夠達(dá)到令消費(fèi)者滿意的產(chǎn)品與服務(wù)標(biāo)準(zhǔn),麥當(dāng)勞建立了嚴(yán)格的檢查監(jiān)督制度。麥當(dāng)勞體系有三種檢查制度:1.常規(guī)性月度考評;2.公司總部的檢查;3.抽查。公司總部統(tǒng)一檢查的表格主要有食品制作檢查表、柜臺工作檢查表、全面營運(yùn)評價表和每月例行考核表等;
為了吸引顧客,提高服務(wù)質(zhì)量,麥當(dāng)勞始終堅(jiān)持優(yōu)質(zhì)服務(wù),雷。克羅克提出一句口號:“把自己擺在顧客的位置上,“要求員工”將心比心“,事事時時為顧客著想。另外,麥當(dāng)勞要求員工都是要微笑待客的,而每家麥當(dāng)勞里都有一位接待員為顧客提供服務(wù)。此外,快捷的速度,創(chuàng)造歡樂舒適的氛圍,順應(yīng)顧客要求,不斷提高服務(wù)質(zhì)量一直是他們的服務(wù)宗旨。
客戶價值
每一個企業(yè)都深知客戶就是上帝,客戶的忠實(shí)度對一個企業(yè)來說是非常重要的。因此在質(zhì)量、服務(wù)方面麥當(dāng)勞一直重視著客戶價值。這些都已經(jīng)體現(xiàn)在服務(wù)理念及產(chǎn)品方面中。
產(chǎn)品
麥當(dāng)勞的所有產(chǎn)品原材料均來自一個廠商,不會因?yàn)橐獪p少運(yùn)輸費(fèi)而在當(dāng)?shù)剡M(jìn)行購買達(dá)到標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的統(tǒng)一化。并且它在選擇合作者的條件上十分嚴(yán)格,如麥當(dāng)勞的面包是不會掉渣的。可口可樂的最可口溫度是4度,所以它的可樂都是保持在4度的。麥當(dāng)勞的產(chǎn)品在同等質(zhì)量上與其他競爭對手相比,是價格低的。而同等價格上它的質(zhì)量絕對是好的,并且美味的。
員工方面
麥當(dāng)勞采用人性化管理,將其廣大員工和人才視為最大的兩大財(cái)富之一。麥當(dāng)勞公司的合作者們首先是“隊(duì)員”,其次才像其它公司的人一樣是雇員。團(tuán)體觀念在一個工作條件艱苦的行業(yè)中是十分重要的,在麥當(dāng)勞,艱苦的工作條件和激烈的競爭,要求每個人的必要的諒解和容忍的精神。為了提高服務(wù)質(zhì)量,對工作人員的挑選非常認(rèn)真,注意職工素質(zhì)的訓(xùn)練,對新招來的職工必須進(jìn)行為期10天的訓(xùn)練,才能正式提任店員。麥當(dāng)勞特別重視管理人員和服務(wù)人員的培訓(xùn),并且為了激發(fā)公司員工上下團(tuán)結(jié)一致,麥當(dāng)勞采取以下的措施,1善待員工,讓他們懂得你是為他們著想的,2多參與員工們的活動,了解他們的苦衷,及時與員工們溝通3 給下屬們創(chuàng)造良好的工作環(huán)境,讓他們知道管理者處處體貼他們4認(rèn)同員工的表現(xiàn),向員工表示贊賞,不僅要口頭肯定,還要適當(dāng)加薪,讓他們知道管理者隨時在肯定他們的貢獻(xiàn)5容忍每位員工的個性與風(fēng)格,使他作為一個活生生的人存在嗎不要把他們管理成僅會說話的機(jī)器。
競爭對手
除了清潔程度,服務(wù)標(biāo)準(zhǔn),質(zhì)量的大大不同外,很多人都在詫異,為什么肯德基在中國比麥當(dāng)勞受歡迎,但麥當(dāng)勞確是世界上的巨無霸呢。很大程度上,是因?yàn)辂湲?dāng)勞的質(zhì)量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化,世界每一個角落的麥當(dāng)勞都是一個味道的,曾經(jīng)有老外人,在中國吃麥當(dāng)勞有家的味道。我想這是很多快餐店無法比較的。

麥當(dāng)勞市場分析 默認(rèn)分類 2007-12-31 13:32:29 閱讀1130 評論0字號:大中小 訂閱
1、麥當(dāng)勞的市場優(yōu)勢在于清潔(clean)、快速(fast)、品質(zhì)(quality)、服務(wù)(service)、價值感(value)。
2、麥當(dāng)勞以年輕人為主要目標(biāo)市場(年齡由4—30歲男、女性),3、市場定位:A.麥當(dāng)勞:以年輕、活潑作訴求,希望提供一個輕快的用餐環(huán)境。
4、麥當(dāng)勞:依消費(fèi)者對消費(fèi)價值感的知覺來感受價值,加以訂價。
環(huán)境戰(zhàn)略:麥當(dāng)勞:○以地區(qū)人口分布決定開店地點(diǎn)與規(guī)模;○著重地區(qū)分布與物流配銷問題;肯得基:○人口結(jié)構(gòu)與密度;○商
圈特征(以商業(yè)區(qū)分布與學(xué)校附近及人潮集中地區(qū)為主)
5、通路策略:麥當(dāng)勞:逐步向中南部發(fā)展,并發(fā)展適合各種商圈與立地條件的店(包括人潮集中區(qū)、車站附近、學(xué)校、商業(yè)區(qū)、金融圈)。肯得基:全面性發(fā)展。ZHG:以快速開店來占據(jù)市場空間拉近與麥當(dāng)勞的距離,并定位于市場追隨者的角色。
6、推廣策略:在零售服務(wù)業(yè)的行銷策略中,企業(yè)形象的建立與知名度的炒熱相當(dāng)重要。除了通過經(jīng)營者所提供的商品帶給消費(fèi)者的感覺外,廣告與促銷活動更是經(jīng)營者在爭取消費(fèi)者認(rèn)知與印象的重要策略。因此,廣告策略與促銷戰(zhàn)略的實(shí)戰(zhàn)運(yùn)用,并發(fā)出適當(dāng)?shù)膹V告與促銷訊息與消費(fèi)者心連心,建立密切關(guān)系,乃是推廣策略的主要課題。快餐業(yè)的推廣策略分述如下,快餐連鎖店的推廣策略:
電視廣告。麥當(dāng)勞:○帶動狂熱;○大量投入TV廣告;○密集強(qiáng)打。
促銷活動:麥當(dāng)勞:○合作促銷生日餐會;○贊助回饋社會活動。
公共報(bào)道:麥當(dāng)勞:○利用機(jī)會制造新聞事件;○各種活動吸引各媒體注意;
7、口碑宣傳及耳語運(yùn)動(Whisper Campaign)是極重要的溝通方式。此外,加強(qiáng)服務(wù)、維持良好品質(zhì)都是必須落實(shí)執(zhí)行的事項(xiàng)。(5)促銷活動最常使用的方式是贈品與贈獎,舉凡贈送小禮物、集點(diǎn)券、贈獎券等都非常流行與有效。(6)與其他企業(yè)合作做聯(lián)合廣告也是很有效果的方式。例如麥當(dāng)勞與俏麗洗發(fā)精的聯(lián)合廣告即很成功。(7)社會愛心回饋活動、寫作比賽、親子活動、快樂家庭等顧客參與性的宣傳與促銷活動漸漸被快餐經(jīng)營者所采用。(8)連鎖店整體企業(yè)形象的塑造與提升,必須藉公益性活動、體育贊助活動以及捐血活動等慈善活動達(dá)成。(9)動用新聞性、話題性的訊息來做“議論紛紛”的宣傳,可吸引大眾傳播媒體的注意與免費(fèi)的宣傳報(bào)道。(10)由各家分店的小商圈行銷策略中,可做定點(diǎn)行銷與廣告表示的模范。同時,針對各商店附近的商圈特性、人潮特性加強(qiáng)促
銷與推廣的整體活動。
8、麥當(dāng)勞還主動創(chuàng)造記者采訪機(jī)會,參加公益活動,獲得公眾注意。在麥當(dāng)勞的公關(guān)手冊中,還提到在各個不同市場應(yīng)采取的不同手段,如在以家庭為主的市場可將漢堡包所得捐給當(dāng)?shù)氐膶W(xué)校做樂隊(duì)制服,手冊還指導(dǎo)加盟者如何爭取報(bào)紙報(bào)道各店的活動,如何爭取照片上報(bào)等。麥當(dāng)勞每年捐出4%的營業(yè)所得,約5000萬美元用于各項(xiàng)贊助活動,麥當(dāng)勞總裁透納曾說:“使我們的名字出現(xiàn)在公眾
面前,而創(chuàng)造一個足以抵消賣漢堡包的企業(yè)形象。我們的動機(jī)99%是商業(yè)性的。
5、個人建議
進(jìn)一步的擴(kuò)大市場,加大廣告力度,在商業(yè)繁華地多參加一些店鋪的數(shù)量。
適應(yīng)一些地方的獨(dú)特口味設(shè)計(jì)一部分符合當(dāng)?shù)厝说氖称罚黾訝I業(yè)額。
順應(yīng)市場的發(fā)展,多生產(chǎn)可愛特別的玩具吸引小朋友
個人感悟
1.整個企業(yè) 人生總是充滿機(jī)遇的,只是我們很多時候沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)。像克羅克發(fā)現(xiàn)了麥當(dāng)勞特許經(jīng)營的商機(jī),而麥?zhǔn)闲值軈s沒有,將這么好的機(jī)會讓給了別人。一個企業(yè)最重要的是企業(yè)文化,樹立好的口碑,敢于在行業(yè)領(lǐng)域中創(chuàng)新,處處為顧客著想。快餐行業(yè)中不僅僅產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量很重要的,同樣餐廳氛圍也是很關(guān)鍵的。另外,商業(yè)中要懂得抓住重點(diǎn),像麥當(dāng)勞將它的市場主要定位于年輕人,重點(diǎn)還要吸引孩子們,像在餐廳內(nèi)設(shè)置游樂場所。服務(wù)的重要性,管理的完善性,管理者的智慧,良好的市場調(diào)查,質(zhì)量的保證,顧客滿意的重要性在麥當(dāng)勞中都得到很好的體現(xiàn)。
對自己的認(rèn)識
無論是在大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)中還是在以后的工作中,我們時刻都要保持創(chuàng)新精神,善于尋找機(jī)遇,創(chuàng)造機(jī)遇。另外,從麥當(dāng)勞中我主要學(xué)會了團(tuán)隊(duì)精神,無論是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)還是員工首先他們是一個團(tuán)隊(duì),團(tuán)隊(duì)中一直活躍著奮進(jìn)和家的氣氛企業(yè)內(nèi)部的支持和信賴是非常重要的,他們以親人的形式互相支持,共同奮進(jìn),在快樂的氛圍下,所有人都充滿了干勁才能更好的工作為企業(yè)做貢獻(xiàn)。我們無時無刻都要嚴(yán)格的要求自己,像麥當(dāng)勞公司用嚴(yán)格的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來要求雇員的衣著、修飾及儀態(tài)。我們更要時刻的要求自己,只有嚴(yán)律才會使自己奮斗上進(jìn).。

商務(wù)英語里面有一些贊美的詞語或者表達(dá)法,尤其是在口語對話里面,它們的使用頻率會更高一些。比如你參加一個商業(yè)聚餐,當(dāng)你和外賓聊天的時候,怎么恰當(dāng)?shù)厥褂糜⒄Z來贊美對方或者表揚(yáng)對方呢?
我們先來看看最常用的表示贊美的英語單詞有哪些: wonderful 太好了 excellent 好極了 beautiful 漂亮 great 真棒 這些詞是我們經(jīng)常使用表達(dá)對一些事情的贊美,但英國人用的贊美詞比我們想象的要多,象“gorgeous”(極好),“terrific”(極妙),“fabulous”(極好)和“fantastic”(極妙)。是不是覺得好像聽到過?
例句: You look fabulous at the party yesterday.(昨天你在聚會看起來太漂亮了)。He bought a gorgeous suit from the shop.(他從這個商店買了一套特別漂亮的衣服)。I saw a terrific film yesterday.(昨天我看了一個特別棒的電影)。
我們這里還有30句非常簡單實(shí)用的英語口語,可以在平時生活或者適當(dāng)?shù)纳虅?wù)場合使用,都是用來贊美或表揚(yáng)對方的。
1.You look great today.(你今天看上去很棒。)[每天都可以用!] 2.You did a good job.(你干得非常好。)[國際最通用的表揚(yáng)!] 3.We're so proud of you.(我們十分為你驕傲。)[最高級的表揚(yáng)!] 4.I'm very pleased with your work.(我對你的工作非常滿意。)[正式、真誠的贊揚(yáng)!] 5.This is really a nice place.(這真是個好地方!)[隨口就說、但效果很好的表揚(yáng)!] 6.You're looking sharp!(你看上去真精神/真棒/真漂亮。)[與眾不同的表揚(yáng)!] 7.You always know the right thing to say.8.You're very eloquent.(你總是說話得體。)[高層次的表揚(yáng)!] 9.Nice going!= you did a good job.(干得好!)[極其地道的表揚(yáng)!] 10.The food is delicious.(好吃!)[最普通、但非常重要的表揚(yáng)!] 11.Everything tastes great.(每樣?xùn)|西都很美味!)
12.Your son/daughter is so cute.(你的孩子很可愛。)[外國人絕對喜歡聽的表揚(yáng)!] 13.What an adorable baby!(多么可愛的孩子。)[只管大膽用!] 14.I admire your work.= 15.i respect your work.(我對你的工作表示敬意。)[世界通用!] 16.You've got a great personality.(你的個性很好。)[一個非常安全的表揚(yáng)!] 17.You have a good sense of humor.(你真幽默。)[美國人極其喜歡的表揚(yáng)!] 18.Your chinese is really surprising.(你的中文令人驚訝。)[絕對和其他人不一樣的表揚(yáng)!] 19.Your english is incredible.(我真不敢相信你的英語。)[用了六星級形容詞!] 20.You have a very successful business.(你的事業(yè)很成功。)[現(xiàn)代人非常喜歡聽!] 21.You're very professional.(你非常專業(yè)。)[專業(yè)化的表揚(yáng)!] 22.Your company is very impressive.(你的公司給我留下深刻印象。)23.You're so smart.(你非常聰明。)
24.I envy you very much.(我非常羨慕你。)
25.Your wife is very charming.(你的妻子很有魅力!)26.You two make a lovely couple.(你們真是天生的一對!)27.You're really talented.(你很有天賦。)
28.You look nice in that color.(你穿那種顏色很好看。)29.You have a good taste.(你很有品位。)
30.You look like a million dollars.= you look outstanding.=you look like a movie star.(你看上去帥呆了。)1.請假 Would it be possible for me to take the day off this Friday? 這個星期五,我是否可以休一天假?
請求休假用take the day off。如果是兩天以上就用days off。上司可能會很干脆地答應(yīng)說 “That'll be OK.”,也可能會不悅地回答“Will everything be all right?(一切都安排就緒了嗎?)”。這些都要看你平時的工作表現(xiàn)而定。2.提議
I think we need to buy a new copier.我想我們需要買一臺新的復(fù)印機(jī).說出這句話之前,必須要說明“Our copying machine has broken down again.(復(fù)印機(jī)又出毛病了。)”以作為提案的依據(jù)。客氣一些的提議,可用“suggest”來表達(dá),如“I would suggest we buy a new copier.” 3.表示了解上司的指示 Yes, of course.是,我知道了.也可以用“I understand.(我明白了。)”,或“Yes, right away.(好的,馬上去做。)”對上司說“OK”或 “all right”并不恰當(dāng)。如果你很忙,應(yīng)該說“I'm sorry, but I'm busy now.Could I do it later?” 4.確認(rèn)上司指示的內(nèi)容
You did say next Tuesday at 2:00 p.m., didn't you? 您是說在下星期二下午2點(diǎn),是不是?
任何事都必須確認(rèn)一下。如果對方是外國人更要如此。上句也可以直截了當(dāng)?shù)卣f“Let me confirm.(讓我確認(rèn)一下時間和日期。)” 5.報(bào)告商談結(jié)果
I had a feeling he was in favor of the plan.我覺得他贊成那個計(jì)劃.記住“I have a feeling(that)...(我覺得……)”,以及“...(that)he was against the plan.(他反對那個計(jì)劃。)”這兩句話,都是非常有用的哦!“All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” 在外企工作強(qiáng)度大,8小時之外,人們進(jìn)行不同方式得到娛樂消遣。一方面也是增加彼此的感情,有利于團(tuán)隊(duì)建設(shè)。而很多西方國家的老板雖然在工作中比較嚴(yán)謹(jǐn),但是在工作之后非常樂于豐富多彩的娛樂活動。喜慶節(jié)日,公司業(yè)績有所突破都會借口吃飯或是出去娛樂。
Why don't we have some entertainments for relaxation? 英國老板最崇拜文化,工作之余與他談國家的文化,英國老板一定會和你結(jié)成知己。而浪漫的法國人工作和非工作時間簡直盤若兩人,他們會很熱情的邀請同事吃飯或參加Party。而像荷蘭人就不愿意和員工出去旅游。要注意的是集體場合上不要對同事說長道短,不要不停地談孩子,家庭。這些話題都不適宜。在舞會上,女員工可以邀請男老板跳舞,只是跳一個舞沒有什么不合適,假如一直邀請她的老板就不合適了。
If we go on a package tour ,we don't have to worry about accommodation,meals during the trip.如果我們跟團(tuán)去的話,我們就不用擔(dān)心住宿和吃飯問題了.package tour由旅行社組織的旅游。由旅行社負(fù)責(zé)預(yù)定飛機(jī),預(yù)定賓館,負(fù)責(zé)三餐的旅行方式稱之為旅行團(tuán)。這類旅行團(tuán)往往價格便宜,很受歡迎。We can together sometimes.我們什么時候聚聚吧.在英美等西方國家,邀請分書面和口頭。書面主要是通過請?zhí)蛘埣恚^為正式。若采用口頭邀請的形式,邀請人一定要向被邀情人講明參加某一社交活動的內(nèi)容。并要求對方表態(tài)接受還是謝絕。強(qiáng)調(diào)這點(diǎn)很重要,因?yàn)橛⒚绹业娜耍绕涫敲绹怂麄兊难埪犉饋硐袷强陬^邀請。但實(shí)際上并不具備以上規(guī)定的內(nèi)容,因而不是邀請。如果對方不清楚對方向自己發(fā)出了邀請,很容易造成誤解。
例如:
I haven't seen you for a long time.You must come round for dinner sometime.好久沒見,什么時候一定過來吃飯哦.It's good seeing you.Would you like to have a cup of tea with me? 見到你很高興,你愿意和我喝杯茶嗎? 這里有兩種情況需要注意。有時說的這些話完全只是表示友善的方法而非真正的邀請的意思。就像前一句話,我們只須回答:Thank you.I'd love to.(謝謝,我很樂意。)切記不要問:“什么時間?”否則會令說話人非常窘迫,因?yàn)樗麤]絲毫心理準(zhǔn)備。對于后一種情況,說話人實(shí)際上是在試探邀請成功的程度如何。通過交談,說話人試探出邀請的成功性,便會發(fā)出真正的口頭邀請。明確具體時間和地址。
I will have a birthday party next weekend.I was wondering if you'd like to go.邀請需要用詞委婉貼切,要根據(jù)與對方的關(guān)系選擇得當(dāng)?shù)恼Z氣。對于你的老板,雖然不是工作時間,但為表示你的尊重和委婉還是邀注意語言的口氣。例如不應(yīng)說:“You come to have dinner with us tonight.英美國家的人常常用一種東方人聽起來不十分肯定或者商量的語氣。I'm going to give a party this weekend.Would you like to come?.周末我要開晚會,你有時間來嗎?
How about joining us for dinner this Friday night?(本周五晚上吃飯好嗎?)對于這類邀請,從語氣上判斷,東方人總覺得邀請人心不誠,因而對是否接受邀請很猶豫。其實(shí),你大可不必有此想法、西方人這樣做是反映了他們?yōu)槿颂幨啦粡?qiáng)加于人的行為準(zhǔn)則。發(fā)出邀請要尊重對方的意愿與選擇,以不妨礙對方的生活。對于某一社交活動,不管是書面還是口頭邀請都需要在一周之前通知,并確定被邀請的客人是否接受邀請。并做出相應(yīng)安排。也給被邀情人足夠的時間來安排自己的活動。

職場工作英語技巧:如何跟老板說話
1.申請?jiān)S可
Wouldn't it be possible for me to take the day off this Friday? 這個星期五,我是否可以休一天假?
請休假用take the day off.如果是兩天以上就用days off.老板會很干脆地答應(yīng)說that'll be OK,或是會帶有不悅意味回答will everything be all right?(一切都安排就緒了嗎?),這些都要看你平時的工作表現(xiàn)而定.2.提議
I think we need to buy a new copier.我想我們需要買一臺新的復(fù)印機(jī).說出上句之前,必須說明our copying machine has broken down again.(復(fù)印機(jī)又出毛病了)以作為提案的依據(jù).客氣一些的提議,用suggest如I would suggest we buy a new copier.3.表示了解上司的指示

Yor did say next Tuesday at 2:00 P.M.,didn't you?您是說在下星期二下午2點(diǎn),是不是?
任何事都必須確認(rèn)一下.如果對方是外國人更要如此.上句也可直截了當(dāng)?shù)卣flet me confirm(make sure of)(讓我確認(rèn)一下時間和日期)5.報(bào)告商談結(jié)果
I had a feeling he was in favor of the plan.我覺得他贊成那個計(jì)劃.記住I have a feeling(that)...(我覺得......),及......(that)he was against the plan.(他反對那個計(jì)劃)這兩句話都很管用.實(shí)用商務(wù)英語名句詳細(xì)解讀
1.a buyer’s market買方市場
market在這里是“行情”的意思。買方市場是有利于購買者的行情。與之相對的是aseller’smarket(賣方市場)。
A: Have you bought the house?你已買房子了嗎?
B: I don’t know how to choose it.There are a lot of apartmentsonsale.我不知道 該怎么辦,那么多房子,眼都挑花了。
A: It is a buyer’s market, you know.現(xiàn)在是買方市場嘛!
2.a country mile一段很長的距離
該習(xí)語多用在美國口語中,名詞country有“農(nóng)場”的意思。在美國,由于科技比較發(fā)達(dá),農(nóng)場往往都很大。這些農(nóng)場總能給人以遼闊、遙遠(yuǎn)之感。故該習(xí)語用country來指“距離之遠(yuǎn)”。
A: Is the house close to the central city?那房子*著市中心嗎?
B: It is a country mile from the Central Park.But it won’t beaproblem since you drive.離中央公園遠(yuǎn)著呢。可既然你開車這就不成問題了。
A: The distance is not really a problem.The real problemiswhether I can afford it.遠(yuǎn)近到不是問題,問題是我是不是買得起。
B: Don’t worry about it.It’s a real bargain.不用擔(dān)心,很便宜的。
3.a drug on the market滯銷商品,滯銷貨,供應(yīng)過剩的商品
drug的本義是“麻醉藥品”,而麻醉藥品是不能在市場上公開出售的,因此該詞常常用來指“滯銷貨”。
A: The things my son bought home were usually a drug on themarketfor adults.我兒子買回來的東西在咱們眼里都是賣不出去的。
B: That’s not abnormal for a youngster.Young people all seemstobe crazy about such things.這對年輕來說沒什么不正常的。年輕人看起來對這些東西都非常感興趣。
A: The real problem is that he’s suing my moneyforthem.問題是他那我的錢去買的呀。
B: He’s your son, after all.Who else’s money do you supposehimto use?他畢竟是你的兒子呀。你想讓他拿誰的錢去買呢
4.a fair shake公平的待遇
shake在口語中有“處置、對待”的意思。當(dāng)fair的意思為“公平的”時,這個短語的意思是“順利的、有意的”時,它的意思就是“好機(jī)會”。
A: Bob, can you ever make a thing center?鮑勃,你就不能做對一件事嗎?
B: Yes, I can and I am doing the center thing.我能,而且我現(xiàn)在干的就是對的。
A: You should go and see how Allan handles it.你真該去看看阿倫是怎么干活的。
B: It’s that Allen again!Why can’t you ever think of giving meafair shake?又是阿倫!你怎么就不能對我公平點(diǎn)?
5.a fat chance微小的機(jī)會
fat本是“很多”的意思,但在這里用了反意,表示“微小的機(jī)會”;表示同樣意義的短語還有a fat lot,指“很少”。
A: What do you think of his plan?你覺得他的方案如何?
B: I have a feeling that is it doomed to fail.我感覺它注定要失敗。
A: Why don’t you vote against him?干嗎不投票否決他的提議?
B: It’s a fat chance of voting out his suggestion.這不大可能。
