However, you are

    12、aware that the sheet listing course dates, fees and other information which was sent out prior to this meeting was incomplete. Im afraid not all the details had been confirmed by the time we went to press and there are a number of omissions. However, I am now in a position to give you the rest of th

    13、is information so you can add it to your copy. Weve been fortunate in obtaining the same hotel as last year thats the Station for the people on attachment so the residential periods will be spent at the Station Hotel in Brimston Square. The overall fee will now include laundry charges. I know that t

    14、here were disagreements last year as it was felt that costs of personal laundry while away from home should not be borne by participants. However, you will still need funds to cover your daily travel costs from the hotel to the training centre, and although the hotel will provide breakfast and eveni

    15、ng meal, you will need to meet both transport as Ive just mentioned and, er, lunch each day out of your own pocket. You may remember, however, that subsidised lunches are available at the training centre so they wont be too expensive. For those of you travelling from abroad I should also point out t

    16、hat the Society is not in a position to help with any charges for excess baggage. The standard allowance as you know is twenty kilos and if you have bought books, gifts or whatever to take home with you, any additional costs are your responsibility. You will be pleased to learn that the fees for the

    17、 Industrial Relations course have stayed the same as last year so thats 943. Unfortunately, though, the fees for the Management Today course have not yet been finalised; they will vary from last year but you might like to know that they will be approximately somewhere in the region of 500. Im sure i

    18、t wont have escaped your attention that we failed to print the length of each course. The Industrial Relations course is a twelve-week course as is Management Today both three months as usual. The two charges listed under the Training Officers course apply to members of the Society and those who are

    19、 eligible for awards or scholarships. The lower figure applies to overseas applicants who would be unable to attend our courses without these grants as its important that we continue to attract participants from abroad. And finally, the Training Officers course lasts only ten weeks this year as it h

    20、as been reduced in response to last years suggestions for a slightly shorter course.

    25、ll, I mean my boss dictates them to me, and I type them. The people in the company are nice. I like the people I work with but dont really like the job itself. It is boring.

    27、tes and in London and Paris, too. I spend about 100 nights a year on the road, but I manage to keep in touch. Hotels can be a bit of a problem. Some of them dont understand the kind of things I need, you know, a desk with good lighting, a phone jack, and somewhere to plug the equipment in. But its m

The company puts through calls from the office, and I use a laptop computer to get information from their computer. I find that its much easier to concentrate when working at home because

    35、hains and so on, but why has global sourcing suddenly become so widespread? C: Well, I think there are several factors, really. I mean, as companies expand internationally, their outlook becomes increasingly global. Whats more, hyper-competitive domestic markets have driven companies to look further

    36、 afield in their search for competitive advantage. Although I think the process has really been accelerated by rapid advances in IT and telecoms. Thats been the real catalyst for change. I: And whats the great attraction? Why are companies so keen to source abroad? C: It depends on the circumstances

    37、 of the company in question. It could be anything from better access to overseas markets, lower taxes, lower labour costs, quicker delivery or a combination of any of these. I: But it would be fair to say the financial benefits are the main incentive, wouldnt it? C: In most cases it probably would,

    38、yes. Without them, I suppose few companies would be that interested. But there are risks involved as well, you know. I: And what are those risks? C: Well, the most common mistake companies make is they only see the savings and dont bother to think about the effect on other key criteria like quality

    39、and delivery. A clothing company that only buy from Asian suppliers at low cost, for instance, will find that as labour rates increase over time, itll have to island-hop to find new low cost sites. And this, of course, introduces uncertainty about quality, and thats critical for a clothing company .

    40、 There are other possible risks as well. I: Such as? C: Well, such as negative publicity as a result of poor working conditions in the suppliers country and, of course, theres always currency exchange risk. I: So how do you go about weighing up all these factors and choosing a supplier? C: Its cruci

    41、al that companies know precisely what theyre after from a supplier and that they fully understand their key selection criteria . They need to be careful to define them and make sure theyre measurable and then rank them. Its dangerous selecting a particular supplier just because they happen to delive

    42、r outstanding performance in one objective such as cost or flexibility. I: So, having selected a prospective partner, what then? C: Well, then you have to negotiate how closely the two parties need to work together. If its going to be a long-term relationship, you need to discuss how much sharing of

    43、 information and resources will be necessary to extract maximum value from the collaboration. The prospective partners need to sit down and decide on the best form for the relationship to take. I: And whats the most common form of this relationship? C: Well, once again it depends on individual circu

    44、mstances. The relationship can be anything, I suppose, from complete ownership through strategic alliances to buying the market. I: Buying the market? Whats that? C: Thats when companies just publish their specifications and ask prequalified vendors to bid for the contract. General Electric is curre

    45、ntly doing $ 1 bn of business this way over the Internet. Its a short-term deal with almost no interaction with the supplier and the length of the bidding process is cut by half. But most importantly for companies like GE, order processing is $ 5 an order as opposed to $ 50 when its done on paper. I

    46、: You mentioned strategic alliances. When do they make sense? C: Well, for an aircraft manufacturer like Boeing, for example, an alliance with its engine manufacturers is logical because of the complex interaction between the body of the aircraft and its engines. And this complexity means everything

    47、 has to be developed together. The arrangement also has the added bonus of reducing the financial risk of long-term development programmes. I: And how about actually owning the supplier, then? When is that preferable? C: Well, companies take over suppliers when theyre vulnerable to fluctuations in t

    48、he availability of key supplies. Take Du Pont, for example, the chemicals giant. Since oil is a primary ingredient of many of its products, Du Pont is very much affected by the availability, and therefore cost, of oil. Du Pont reduced these uncertainties by purchasing Conoco, its main oil supplier.

    49、I: Thus keeping its costs down. C: Possibly. Owning the supplier definitely increases financial control of the supply chain. But when you take the cost of acquisition into account, there are no short-term savings. I: So, all in all, does global sourcing make sense? C: Well, there are lots of very powerful benefits but managers have to consider all the main operational factors very carefully first. 23
