答案 Interviewer: Now, I will give each of you three topics. You will have to choose one from them, prepare for it in one minute and talk about it for one minute. OK? Zhang Hong, here are your topics. And here are yours, Wang Kun. You can make notes on the paper t gave you during your preparation.
All right. Zhang Hong, which topic are you going to talk about?
Zhang Hong: I’d like to talk about At Business ethics.
Interviewer: OK. You have one minute to talk. Wang Kun and I will listen to you. Wang Kun, after Zhang Hong’s talk, you have to ask her a question. Now, Zhang Hong, you may start. I’ll stop you at the end of one minute.
Zhang Hong: Business ethics are principles of right or good behaviors in business. They involve moral values, which tell us what conduct is proper when doing business. We have to admit that right or good  behavior  in  business is important and useful  for a  company or tile businessmen. Right or good behavior will provide a  good  repute  for  the  company  or  the businessmen themselves.  It will  bring more business for them as a return. A looser corporate culture makes it easier for fraud to thrive than when there’s a more rigid corporate structure. Humans can be weak. There’s no question that in an environment that’s much looser, there’s a greater probability of fraud.  When you see management that has absolute power and a lack of transparency,  you are more likely to see fraud. So business ethics is so important that we’d better ask all employees to learn it well.
Interviewer: Thank you. It’s time. Now, Wang Kun, what is the question you’d like to ask Zhang Hong?
Wang Kun: Zhang Hong, are business practices becoming more unethical nowadays?
Zhang Hong: Well, There is no easy answer, but in many places,  such unethical practices as bribery,   profit   gouging,   price   fixing, embezzlement, monopolizing, and other illegal practices  really  exist,  which  are  costing consumers more and more money.
Interviewer: OK.  Now, Wang Kun, it’s your turn. Which topic have you chosen, please?
Wang Kun: Management communication.
Interviewer: OK. You have one minute to talk. Zhang Hong and I will listen to you.  Zhang Hong, after Wang Kun’s talk, you have to ask him a question.  Now, Wang Kun, you may start. I’ll stop you at the end of one minute.
Wang Kun: There is little doubt that effective management    communications    can    improve productivity,   employee   commitment,   and morale. However, an average of 25% of all management   messages   are   lost   at   each organizational level. Thus, it is really important to  know  how  to  improve  communications effectively as a manager.  Most managers can effectively improve  their communications and productivity by some basic guidelines. First, in order  to  help  ensure  top  performance,  high morale,  and  to  make  your  employees  feel wanted, needed, and indispensable to the success of the organization, you’d better communicate your overall purpose. Second, communicate your expectations. In this way, tangible performance standards can  be  provided  to  subordinates. Third,   you   can   provide   feedback   on performance.  What’s more,  communicate all changes.  Subordinates  react  much  better  to changes when they know in advance that change is coming. Also, if at all possible, let the people affected by the change have a chance to comment upon  the  proposed  change  before  it  actually occurs. Finally, you can communicate face to face.  During  these personal  contacts,  it is important that managers communicate openly and directly. Do not hold back information; rather share it naturally and easily. Then . ..
Interviewer: Thank you. Time is up. Now, Zhang Hong, what is the question you’d like to ask Wang Kun?
Zhang Hong: Annual performance reviews are the most common ways of providing feedback, but why are they frequently ineffective?
Wang Kun: It is because the manager does not honestly tell the subordinate what he or she needs to improve upon, and subordinates need much more information than what is in the annual review.
Interviewer: Thank you.
