14、all for coming to my talk this evening. Its nice to see many people in the audience . For those of you who dont know very much about PS Camping , let me start by giving you some background information about the company.The company started twenty-five years ago. It actually opened as a retail chain s
15、elling camping equipment and then twenty years ago, it bought a small number of campsites in the UK ,and began offering camping holidays. The company grew rapidly and has been providing holidays in continental Europe for the last fifteen years.If you book a camping holiday with us, youll have a choi
16、ce of over three hundred sites. In Italy we now have some 64 sites that we either own, or have exclusive use of France is where we have the majority of sites, and we currently have a project to expand into Switzerland. We also have a number of sites in Northern Spain, particularly in the mountainous
17、 region of picos de Europa. Weve upgraded all these Spanish sites, and improved them considerably from their original three-star ratingWe believe our holidays offer superb facilities for the whole family. Parents who want their children to be fully occupied for all or part of the day can take advant
18、age of our childrens activities. These are organised by our well-qualified and enthusiastic staff. Each day kicks off a sports match, perhaps football, or volleyball, followed by an hour of drama for everyone. This may include singing or dancing, mime or other activities. In the afternoon, theres a
19、different art activity for each day of the week including a poster competition or model making. Whats more, our sites are truly child-friendly, and, with this in mind, we operate a no-noise rule in the evenings. Childrens evening activities usually finish at 9:30, or occasionally 10, and from 10:30
20、holiday-makers are expected to be quiet in the areas where there are tents.We want nothing to go wrong on a PS Camping holiday, but if it does, we also want all customers to be insured. If you havent organised an annual insurance policy of your own youll need to take out the low-cost cover we offer
21、and we require that you arrange this when you take your holiday reservation.There are many advantages to choosing PS Camping, and to recommending it to others. As a regular customer. Youll be kept informed of special offers. And your friends can benefit from ten per cent off their holiday, or book a
22、 luxury tent for the price of a standard one. In return, well send you a thank-you present, which you can choose from a list of high-quality items.When it comes to our tents, these are equipped to the highest standard. We really do think of every essential detail, from an oven and cooking rings fuel
23、led by bottled gas, to mirrors in the bedroom areas. If you dont want to cook indoors, you can borrow a barbecue if you ask in advance for one to be made available, and theres even a picnic blanket to sit on outside your tent. Inside, a box of games and toys can be found, and childrens tents can be
24、hired if required, All tents have a fridge, and if you want to spend the day on the beach, for example, ask for a specially designed PS Camping cool box, which will keep your food and drinks chilled. There are excellent washing facilities at all our sites, with washing machines and clothes lines in
25、the central areas, along with mops and buckets in case your tent needs cleaning during your stay. All sites have a cafe and/or a shop for those whod rather eat in than dine at a local restaurant. Section 3Tutor:Well, youve both been looking at different styles of managing individuals，in companies an
26、d the workplace. Hows the research going,philip?Philip:Well, Ive been looking at why individualism, I mean individual difference, are such an important area of management studies. When you think about any organization, be it a family business or a multinational company, they are all fundamentally a
27、group of people working together. But its what these individuals contribute to their pleases of work that makes you realize how important they are. Of course they bring different ideas, but its also their attitudes and their experiences of learning. Diversity is important in these areas too.Tutor:So
28、 why do people behave so differently from one another at work?Philip:There are lots of reason but research has shown a lot of it comes down to personality. And the other factor is gender. Its a well known fact that men and women do lots of things in different ways, and the workplace is no different.
29、 Tutor:Did you look at the effects of this variation on companies?Philip:Yes, I did. On the positive side, exposure to such diversity helps encourage creativity which is generally an asset to a company. But unfortunately individual difference are also the root of conflict between staff and they can
30、lead to difficulties for management, which can sometimes be serious.*Tutor:Thanks,philip. So now I guess the two main things to remember here are to identify individual talent and then to utilize it. So Janice, you were looking at identifying different talents in workers Do you think this is easy fo
31、r managers to do?Janice:Well,currently teamwork is in fashion in the workplace and in my opinion the importance of the individual is generally neglected. What managers should be targeting is those employees who can take the lead in a situation and are not afraid to accept the idea of responsibility.
32、Tutor:Thats true. Janice but unfortunately many managers think the entire notion of encouraging individuality amongst their staff is far too hard.Janice:Yes. That may be true but I think one of the most important tasks of managers is to consider the needs of the individual on one hand and group co-operation and conformity on the other. It requires creative thinking on the part of management to avoid tension.Tutor:So Janice, what kind of people do
