(4) Do you think it important for a company to have a logo of its own?(Why?/Why not?)
你认为公司拥有自己的标识很重要吗?(为什么?)
Yes. I think a logo represents a company and its products or services. If the logo is successful, it captures the personality of the company, sculpts and reinforces the company image. Besides, the logo is a most central marketing tool as it is used consistently and repeatedly.
PART TWO: MINI-PRESENTATION
What’s important when…?
Designing a company magazine 设计企业杂志需要考虑哪些要点?
l Target readership 目标读者
l Contents included 包括的内容
l
When designing a company magazine, the most important thing is to find out what the target readership is, whether it is an in-house magazine designed for employees or a magazine designed for employees or a magazine that aims to attract your customers. You see, the readership determines what contents should be included.
Once the readership is targeted, we have to decide what subjects should be covered. If it’s a staff magazine, it should cover such topics as new about people and events in the company, or the latest sales figures, staff competition, etc. If it’s a customer magazine, you can advertise your new products, release latest news about product development or give special offers to customers.
On top of that, you also need to decide the number of issues to be published annually, whether it should be a monthly magazine or a quarterly magazine. And of course, cost is another important factor to be considered.
设计企业杂志时,最重要的事情是找出目标读者是什么,是一个为员工设计的企业内部杂志还是旨在吸引你的客户。你知道,目标读者决定了企业杂志所要包含的内容。
一旦目标读者被确定,我们就可以决定所需要包含的主题。如果是一个员工杂志,就应该包含比如公司新近的人员和活动,或者最近的销售数字,员工竞赛等等。如果是一个客户性质的杂志,你应该宣传新产品,发布关于产品开发或者为顾客提供特殊优惠的信息。
除此之外,也需要决定企业杂志每年出版发行的数量,是每月发行一次还是每个季度发行一次。当然,费用也是另一个需要考虑的重要因素。

Your company would like to design a new Company Celebration Programme to facilitate both internal and external communications. You have been asked to help draft the programme. Discuss the situation together, and decide:

A: You see, we need to help work out a celebration programme for our company.
B: Yes, I think it’s very important to make a detailed plan about what events to be celebrated.
A: Successful corporate rituals and celebrations are important ways of corporate communications. They help to bond people together and connect people to shared values and vision. So a well designed corporate celebration programme will benefit a company greatly.
B: Yes. But as there is a wide variety of situations that we can celebrate, we have to focus on the most worthy ones. In my opinion, we can keep the cyclical celebrations, as they are more fixed, I mean , they come every year, like company annversaries, Christmas, New Year’s Day, etc. Celebrations of this kind help to relieve work pressure.
A: You’re right. So for these gala events, we can hold parties, costume balls, get-togethers at selected restaurants, etc. We can also invite our clients and customers over as these activities are really great occasions for socializing and networking, I mean good chances for building relationships.

B: Right. Management should also be able to handle negative personal transitions like a distressing family illness or a death in an employee’s family. In such cases, leaders have to be compassionate and supportive.
A: So grief counselling is important on such occasions. That would touch the hearts of our employees and help to build commitment and loyalty.

A: 同意你的观点。因此为了这些庆祝活动,我们可以举办聚会,化妆舞会,在选定的餐厅举办联欢会等等。我们也可以邀请我们的客户和顾客参加以上的活动,使其成为社交网络真正盛大的场合。我的意思是成为建立关系的机会。
