Firms need a better way of planning
Nick Field, in his book Strategy Management, offers a new approach to help companies map out their future.
Many companies have lost the art of strategy-making. They spend too much time looking at process change, organisation and systems. They do not invest enough effort in determining where they want to be in their markets and how they are going to beat their competitors They have got things out of balance. In many companies, the development of strategy is in crisis.
In a recent magazine poll, only six per cent of executives rated their company highly for long-term planning skills. (8) If this figure is accurate, it is not surprising that 29% of the FTSE 100 companies failed to achieve real sales growth between 1992 and 1996, when takeovers are excluded from the figures.
There can be no doubt about the value of effective strategy-making. Recent research has shown that what are described as 'visionary' companies - those with clear strategies for the future - deliver higher shareholder returns. They are less at risk from short-term earnings pressures because they know - and they can convince others - that they will survive these.
(9) Times have changed. The big company of today is not being defeated by another big company but by the small companies. So how do they do it？ And where do companies that are failing in this respect turn？ If a company accepts that their strategy development is not 'the best in the class', if they acknowledge that they need to do more to map out their future, influence rather than be influenced, shape their market instead of being shaped by it, how should they take on this strategy-making challenge？ Field's book Strategy Management puts forward a new approach to help companies rediscover the power of forward planning. (10) The book is straightforward to understand and use, and offers practical and specific directions. Research and empirical testing have proved that it can be useful in all areas of industry and should be of value to any company.
The approach put forward is based on two key building blocks, the first being that any company considering its future must have a commitment to win. (11) The second building block is competitive advantage. The author defines four prime areas that differentiate organisations and influence purchase decisions. These are 'the performance of the product or service, sold at the most attractive price, with extraordinary levels of service and strong emotional values.' It may require only one of these areas to produce a competitive advantage. Take Coca-Cola for example. (12)
Companies can explore how to win by building on their commitment and working around this approach to identify which one or more of these four sources of advantage will lead to success.
A Clear guidelines are given on how to become involved with customers and build new forms of competitive advantage.
B Through the brand name, the company has established a relationship with customers' feelings that has made the product highly successful,
C Another survey estimated that only one in ten companies had the information they needed to make strategic decisions.
D Lacking any debate about the future, these are typically reduced to a once-a-year form-filling exercise.
E If this comes across forcefully enough rivals will see it and go elsewhere, believing the market will be taken over by another.
F In the past, it was generally believed that the scale of the company was the most significant factor.
G They do not invest enough effort in determining where they want to be in their markets and how they are going to beat their competitors.

Reading
In this question, you will read a short passage about a campus situation and then listen to a talk on the same topic. Then you will answer a question using information from both the reading and the talk. After the question, you will have 30 seconds to prepare you response and 60 seconds to speak.
The Students' Council has voted for a universal bus pass. Read the article from the university newspaper about the plan. You will have 50 seconds to read the announcement. Begin reading now.
Universal Bus Pass is a Go
The Students' Council has ratified the positive results of Thursday's campus wide referendum on the Universal Bus Pass. The UBP will come into effect this coming academic year, and a fee of $75 will be added to the student fees to cover the cost of the pass. The pass will be part of the student card and will be valid for one year. Earlier this year, the Council proposed a Universal Bus Pass to reduce parking congestion and promote green alternatives to transportation to and from campus. However, students will not be able to opt out of the plan as a result of the agreement negotiated with the Transit Authority.

Question
The woman expresses her opinion of the decision by the Students' Council to implement the Universal Bus Pass. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for having that opinion.

某高速公路施工项目，实行公开招标，以预算价做标底。其中第一合同段(起止桩号K0+000～K10+000)由G公司中标，中标价比标底价下浮15%，合同总价为1.32亿元。该合同段设计图中A区(K0+000～K1+200)路基需作为软基处理，路基底宽40m，淤泥厚度平均为1.5m，采取清淤回填石渣方案，综合价为40元/m3。进场后，经监理、业主、施工三方组织的联合调查，发现A区的淤泥平均厚度达到2m，B区(K8+000～K8+200)也存在软基，但平均深度达8m。经报告设计单位，由设计单位确定如下处理方案：A区采取清淤回填石渣方案不变，B区采取粉喷桩处理方案。
现承包人根据合同有关规定，认为原清淤换填投标单价太低，粉喷桩没有投标报价，要求重新确定单价。
[问题]
1．A、B区施工前，监理工程师在合同管理方面应作如何处理？
2．根据《公路工程国内招标合同范本》(通用合同条件)的有关规定，A区路基的清淤换填是否可以重新商定单价？为什么？
3．第一合同段软基处理单价应如何确定？

给定程序中，函数fun的功能是：计算形参x所指数组中N个数的平均值(规定所有数均为正数)，作为函数值返回；并将大于平均值的数放在形参y所指数组中，在主函数中输出。
例如，有10个正数：46 30 32 40 6 17 45 1548 26，平均值为：30．500000主函数中输出：46 32 40 45 48
