[00:29.60]Unit 1 Text A What Is a Decision?
[00:32.72]决策是什么?
[00:35.84]A decision is a choice
[00:40.28]made from among alternative courses of action that are available.
[00:43.66]决策即是从几种可行的行为中做出选择.
[00:47.05]The purpose of makinga decision
[00:51.10]is to establish and achieve organizational goals and objectives.
[00:54.82]决策的目的是为了建立和达到组织的目标.
[00:58.54]The reason for making a decision is that a problem exists,
[01:01.56]决策的原因是存在着问题,
[01:04.57]goals or objectives are wrong
[01:06.99]目标有误,
[01:09.41]or something is standing1 in the way of accomplishing them.
[01:12.03]或有某种东西妨碍着它的实现.
[01:14.66]Thus the decision-making process is fundamental to management.
[01:18.38] 因此决策的过程对于管理是必不可和的.
[01:22.10]almost everything a manager does involves decisions,
[01:25.63]几乎管理者所做的所有事情都涉及到决策.
[01:29.16]indeed,some suggest that the management process is decisions making.
[01:33.09]确实,有人认为管理过程就是决策过程.
[01:37.02]Although managers cannot predict the future,
[01:40.05]虽然管理者不能预测未来,
[01:43.08]many of their decisions require that they condider possible future events.
[01:47.05]但他们的许多决策还是要求他们考虑到未来可能发生的事情.
[01:51.02]Often managers must make a best guess at what the future will be
[01:54.76]通常管理者必须对未来的情况做出最佳预测,
[01:58.49]and try to leave as little as possible to chance,
[02:01.42]从而使偶然性尽可能少地发生.
[02:04.34]but since uncrtainty is always there,risk accompanies decisions.
[02:08.27]但因为总存在着不确定性,所以风险常伴随着决策.
[02:12.21]Sometimes the consequences of a poor decision are slight;
[02:15.47]有时候不明知的决策的结果没什么大不了的,
[02:18.74]at other times they are serious.
[02:21.02]有时却非常严重.
[02:23.31] Choice is the opportunity to select among alternatives.
[02:26.69] 选择就是从可供选择的事物中进行选择的机会.
[02:30.07]If there is no choice,there is no decision to be made.
[02:33.25]如果没有选择,就不会有决策.
[02:36.42]Decision making is the process of choosing,
[02:39.69]决策是选择的过程,
[02:42.95]and many decisions have a broad range of choice.
[02:46.03]许多决策有很广的可选范围.
[02:49.12]For example,
[02:50.88]例如:
[02:52.64]a student may be able to choose among a number of different courses
[02:55.97]例如:为了完成得到大学学位的决策,
[02:59.30]in order to implement2 the decision to obtain a college degree.
[03:02.44]一个学生可以从许多不同的课程中选择.
[03:05.57]For managers,every decision has constraints3 based on policies,
[03:09.40]对管理者来说,每次决策都受到政策,
[03:13.23]procedures,laws,precedents,and the like.
[03:16.31]程序,法律,惯例等等因素的制约.
[03:19.39]These constraints exist at all levels of the organization.
[03:22.51]这些制约存在于各级组织中.
[03:25.64]Alternatives are the possible courses of action from which choices can be made.
[03:29.61] 供选择的事物是指可供从中选择的可能的行为过程.
[03:33.58]If there are no alternatives,there is no choice and,therefore,no decision.
[03:37.55]如果没有供选择的事物,就不能做出选择,因此,就没有决策.
[03:41.52]If no alternatives are seen,
[03:43.56]如果找不到可供选择的事物,
[03:45.59]often it means that a thorough job of examining the problems has not been done.
[03:49.22]通常意味着对这个问题还没有做彻底的审查.
[03:52.86]For example,managers sometimes treat problems in an either/or fashion;
[03:56.83]例如:管理者有时用二者择一的方式来处理问题,
[04:00.80]this is their way of simplifying complex problems.
[04:03.44]这是他们简化复杂问题的方式.
[04:06.07]But the tendency to simplify blinds them to other alternatives.
[04:09.65]但这种简化的倾向使得他们看不到其他可供选择的办法.
[04:13.23]At the managerial level,
[04:15.11] 在管理级别上,
[04:16.99]decision making includes limiting alternatives as well as identifying them,
[04:21.02]决策包括限定并确定可选择的事物,
[04:25.04]and the range is from highly limited to practically unlimited4.
[04:28.53]其范围从极其有限到实际上无限多. [04:32.01] Decision makers6 must have some way of determining
[04:34.94]决策者必须有办法决定
[04:37.86]which of several alternatives is best,
[04:40.24]在若干种可供选择的事物中哪能种是最优的,
[04:42.62]that is which contributes the most to the achievement of organizational goals.
[04:46.64]也就是哪种最有助于完成组织目标.
[04:50.66]An organizational goal
[04:54.50]is an end or a state of affairs the organization seeks to reach.
[04:57.98]组织目标是组织所追求达到的事件的结束或状态.
[05:01.45]Because individuals(and organizations)frequently have different ideas about
[05:08.61]how to attain7 the goals,
[05:10.65]因为个体(和组织)关于如何达到目的常有不同的观点,
[05:12.69]the best choice may depend on who makes the decision[05:15.66]哪能种是最优的选择可能要看是谁做出决策.
[05:18.64]Frequently,departments or units within an organization make decisions that are good for them individually
[05:23.11]通常,一个组织中的各部门或单位做出的决策对他们个体来说是有益的,
[05:27.58]but that are less than optimal8 for the larger organization.
[05:30.45]但对更大的组织来说则不是最理想的.
[05:33.32]Called suboptimization,
[05:35.40]所谓的局部最优化,
[05:37.48]this is a trade-off that increases the advantages to one unit or function
[05:41.45]这种权衡增加了对一个单位或一项职能的好处,
[05:45.42]but decreases the advantages to another unit or function.
[05:48.75]却减少了对其他单位或职能的好处.
[05:52.08]For example,the marketing9 manager may argue effectively for an increased advertising10 budget.
[05:56.05]例如:销售经理可能为了提高广告预算而极力说服他人.
[06:00.02]In the larger scheme of things, however,
[06:02.36]可在更大大的方案中,
[06:04.70]increased funding for research to improve the products
[06:10.44]might be more beneficial to the organization.
[06:12.94]提高研究基金以改进产品可能对整体组织更大有益处.
[06:15.43]These trade-offs occur because there are many objectives
[06:22.38]that organizations wish to attain simultaneously11.
[06:25.16] 因为组织希望同时达到许多目标,这此权衡就会发生.
[06:27.94]Some of these objectives are more important than others,
[06:31.03]其中一些目标较其他目标更重要,
[06:34.11]but the order and degree of importance often vary from person to person and from department to department.
[06:38.63]但其顺序和重要程度在人与人,部门与部门之间则常常不同.
[06:43.15]Different managers define the same problem in different terms.
[06:46.41]不同的管理者用不同的术语定义同样的问题.
[06:49.68]When presented with a common case,sales managers tend to see sales problems,
[06:53.65]当面对一件日常事例时,销售经理倾向于去看销售环节的问题,
[06:57.62]production managers see production problems,and so on.
[07:00.28]生产经理则看生产环节的问题等等.
[07:02.95]The ordering and importance of multiple objectives is also based,in part,
[07:07.08] 在某种程序上,多种目标的先后顺序和重要性
[07:11.20]on the values of the decision maker5.
[07:13.54]也基于决策人的价值观念.
[07:15.88]Such values are personal;they are hard to understand,
[07:18.91]这此价值观具有个人色彩,因为其可变性和复杂性,
[07:21.94]even by the individual,because they are so dynamic and complex.
[07:25.57]即使对个体而言,也很难以理解.
[07:29.20]In many business situations different people's values about
[07:32.43]在许多交易情形下,不同的人们关于风险和盈利的
[07:35.65]acceptable degrees of risk and profitability
[07:41.22]cause disagreement about the correctness of decisions.
[07:44.09]可接受程度的价值观念带来对决策正确性的不同意见.
[07:46.96]People often assume that a decision is an isolated12 phenomenon.
[07:50.74] 人们经常假设一项决策是孤立的现象.
[07:54.51]But from a systems point of view,problems have multiple causes,
[07:58.04]但从系统的观点看,问题有多种原因,
[08:01.57]and decisions have intended and unintended consequences.
[08:05.11]决策有预期的和非预期的结果.
[08:08.65]An organization is an ongoing13 entity,
[08:11.43]一个组织是一个正在发展中的实体,
[08:14.21]and a decision made today may have consequences far into the future.
[08:16.99]现在的决策可能给将来带来深远的影响.
[08:19.77]Thats the skilled manager looks toward the future consequence of current decisions 08:23.86]因而熟练的管理者会看到当前决策对未来的影响.

[09:14.27]or of 'serving the community',

[11:50.53]then you will have a little time in hand

[12:43.55]后者令人害怕得多,但不要让它使你过分担忧.
[12:46.51]The interviewer will probably have a table in front of him/her.

[12:51.58]Do not put your things or arms on it.

[12:58.49]如果你有一个包或一个箱子,把它放在你棒子旁边的地板上.
[13:01.27]Do not clutch it nervously20 or,worse still,drop it,spilling everything.

[13:10.90]如果接见者首先伸过手来,你就和他握手.

[13:17.81]wants to go though the process of all shaking hands with you in turn.
[13:20.48]几乎不可能五个人的专门小组中大家轮流与你握手.
[13:23.16]So you do not be upset if no one offers.
[13:25.38]所以如果没人主动伸手时,你不要感到不安.
[13:27.60]Shake hands firmly--a weak hand suggests a weak personality,
[13:30.68]握手要坚定有力---软弱无力的手说明导弹的个性,
[13:33.77]and a crushing grip is obviously painful.

[13:37.92]Do not drop the hand as soon as yours has touched it
[13:40.10]不要刚一接触就放下你的手,
[13:42.28]as this will seem to show you do not like the other person.

[14:01.12]"Would you mind rephiasing the question, please?"
[14:03.15]"请您再重复一下这个问题,好吗?"
[14:05.19]The question will then be repeated in different words.
[14:07.41]会见者就会用不同的话重复一遍这个问题.
[14:09.63]If you are not definitely accepted or turned down on the spot,
[14:12.31] 如果当场你没有明确地被接受或拒绝,
[14:14.99]ask:"When may I expect to hear the results of this interview?"
[14:17.81]你就要问:"我可以期望在何时所到面试的结果呢?"
[14:20.63]If you do receive a letter offering you the job,
[14:22.85] 如果你确实收到了提供给你工作的信函,
[14:25.07]you must reply by letter(keep a photocopy) as soon as possible. Good luck!
[14:28.85]你必须忙地回复信函(保留复印件). 祝好运!

[03:22.51]这些制约存在于各级组织中.
[03:25.64]Alternatives are the possible courses of action from which choices can be made.
[03:29.61] 供选择的事物是指可供从中选择的可能的行为过程.
[03:33.58]If there are no alternatives,there is no choice and,therefore,no decision.
[03:37.55]如果没有供选择的事物,就不能做出选择,因此,就没有决策.

[04:28.53]其范围从极其有限到实际上无限多. [04:32.01] Decision makers6 must have some way of determining
[04:34.94]决策者必须有办法决定
[04:37.86]which of several alternatives is best,
[04:40.24]在若干种可供选择的事物中哪能种是最优的,
[04:42.62]that is which contributes the most to the achievement of organizational goals.
[04:46.64]也就是哪种最有助于完成组织目标.
[04:50.66]An organizational goal
[04:54.50]is an end or a state of affairs the organization seeks to reach.
[04:57.98]组织目标是组织所追求达到的事件的结束或状态.
[05:01.45]Because individuals(and organizations)frequently have different ideas about
[05:08.61]how to attain7 the goals,
[05:10.65]因为个体(和组织)关于如何达到目的常有不同的观点,
[05:12.69]the best choice may depend on who makes the decision[05:15.66]哪能种是最优的选择可能要看是谁做出决策.
[05:18.64]Frequently,departments or units within an organization make decisions that are good for them individually
[05:23.11]通常,一个组织中的各部门或单位做出的决策对他们个体来说是有益的,
[05:27.58]but that are less than optimal8 for the larger organization.
[05:30.45]但对更大的组织来说则不是最理想的.
[05:33.32]Called suboptimization,
[05:35.40]所谓的局部最优化,
[05:37.48]this is a trade-off that increases the advantages to one unit or function
[05:41.45]这种权衡增加了对一个单位或一项职能的好处,
[05:45.42]but decreases the advantages to another unit or function.
[05:48.75]却减少了对其他单位或职能的好处.
[05:52.08]For example,the marketing9 manager may argue effectively for an increased advertising10 budget.
[05:56.05]例如:销售经理可能为了提高广告预算而极力说服他人.
[06:00.02]In the larger scheme of things, however,
[06:02.36]可在更大大的方案中,
[06:04.70]increased funding for research to improve the products
[06:10.44]might be more beneficial to the organization.
[06:12.94]提高研究基金以改进产品可能对整体组织更大有益处.
[06:15.43]These trade-offs occur because there are many objectives
[06:22.38]that organizations wish to attain simultaneously11.
[06:25.16] 因为组织希望同时达到许多目标,这此权衡就会发生.
[06:27.94]Some of these objectives are more important than others,
[06:31.03]其中一些目标较其他目标更重要,
[06:34.11]but the order and degree of importance often vary from person to person and from department to department.
[06:38.63]但其顺序和重要程度在人与人,部门与部门之间则常常不同.
[06:43.15]Different managers define the same problem in different terms.
[06:46.41]不同的管理者用不同的术语定义同样的问题.
[06:49.68]When presented with a common case,sales managers tend to see sales problems,
[06:53.65]当面对一件日常事例时,销售经理倾向于去看销售环节的问题,
[06:57.62]production managers see production problems,and so on.
[07:00.28]生产经理则看生产环节的问题等等.
[07:02.95]The ordering and importance of multiple objectives is also based,in part,
[07:07.08] 在某种程序上,多种目标的先后顺序和重要性
[07:11.20]on the values of the decision maker5.
[07:13.54]也基于决策人的价值观念.
[07:15.88]Such values are personal;they are hard to understand,
[07:18.91]这此价值观具有个人色彩,因为其可变性和复杂性,
[07:21.94]even by the individual,because they are so dynamic and complex.
[07:25.57]即使对个体而言,也很难以理解.
[07:29.20]In many business situations different people's values about
[07:32.43]在许多交易情形下,不同的人们关于风险和盈利的
[07:35.65]acceptable degrees of risk and profitability
[07:41.22]cause disagreement about the correctness of decisions.
[07:44.09]可接受程度的价值观念带来对决策正确性的不同意见.
[07:46.96]People often assume that a decision is an isolated12 phenomenon.
[07:50.74] 人们经常假设一项决策是孤立的现象.
[07:54.51]But from a systems point of view,problems have multiple causes,
[07:58.04]但从系统的观点看,问题有多种原因,
[08:01.57]and decisions have intended and unintended consequences.
[08:05.11]决策有预期的和非预期的结果.
[08:08.65]An organization is an ongoing13 entity,
[08:11.43]一个组织是一个正在发展中的实体,
[08:14.21]and a decision made today may have consequences far into the future.
[08:16.99]现在的决策可能给将来带来深远的影响.
[08:19.77]Thats the skilled manager looks toward the future consequence of current decisions 08:23.86]因而熟练的管理者会看到当前决策对未来的影响.
