APPLICATION FORMS

1. The hardest part of recruiting, if you did a job description listing the skills needed, is in finding and hiring the right employee. You need some method of screening the applicants and selecting the best one for the position.

2. The application form is a tool, which you can use to make your tasks of interviewing and selection easier. The form should have blank spaces for all the facts you need as a basis for judging the applicants.

3. You will want a fairly complete application so you can get sufficient information. However, keep the form as simple as you can. The applicants are to fill out the application form before the interview. It makes an excellent starting point for the interview. It is also a written record of experience and former employer’s name and addresses.

4. When an applicant has had work experience, other references are not very important. However, if the level of work experience is limited, additional references may be obtained from former employers who can give objective information. Personal references are almost useless, as an applicant would only list people who have a kind word for them.

5. Employers use application forms most prolifically in the public sector to ensure there is a systematic way of comparing candidates. Anyone applying for jobs in local or central government organizations should expect to fill in an application form for every job applied for.

6. Additionally, many large commercial companies use standard job application forms because they can be processed much quicker than CVs, which tend to arrive in many formats. If a company is hiring candidates for a graduate programme, it may design an application form for this task with very specific questions. It’s also not unusual for a company to ask you to complete an application form, in addition to a CV.

7. Employers also use application forms to assess motivation and make a first pass at essential skills, including spelling, grammar and punctuation (hence why spell checking your application before you click send is so important).

4. Письменно ответьте на вопросы к тексту.

1. What should an application form be like?

2. What information should be requested in an application form?

3. Where can the additional references concerning the candidate’s former experience be obtained from?

4. What are the advantages of application forms over CVs?

5. What abilities can be assessed by using application forms?

MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING

1. Management Accounting is the process of producing accounts that arespecifically designed to serve the needs of the managers who are running a business. All companies are required by law to keep financial accounts in order to produce a record by which shareholders and creditors can judge the company. Firms also need to do day-to-day financial accounting to enable them to keep track of dealing with their customers and suppliers. But the nature of financial accounts is that they present historic information which, on its own, is not sufficient for those responsible for the day-to-day running of a company to do their jobs well.

2. Management accounts are derived from what are known as cost accounts. The function of these is to provide information that allows individual managers to monitor and control the operations for which they are responsible. The factors that cost accounts report on can be tailormade to whatever requirements a company has, but they usually focus on the following:

- the revenue and costs for which individual managers are responsible;

- the efficiency and productivity, effectiveness of processes for which a manager is responsible;

- the utilization of resources, such as building and labour.

3. The management accounts provide regular information on how different aspects of the business are performing in relation to what has been forecast in the budget. They should provide an explanation of why a variance has occurred; for example, whether the reason that the gross margin (profit) is less than forecast is because sales are down or costs are up, or a combination of both. They may also contain estimates and

forecasts, so that managers see what the position would be at the end of the financial year.

4. Management accounting is also crucial for planning (developing budgets, for example), for solving problems such as determining the least costly method of production, and for helping with difficult decisions such as the level a price should be set and the assessment of capital expenditure proposals or different methods of financing.

WHAT IS DELEGATION?

1. Delegation is the granting of authority and independence to another person to complete a project. It must be understood that with the authority to do a job, comes the responsibility to get it done. A benefit of good delegation is that it gives a manager the opportunity to spend more time on important work, which cannot be delegated.

2. For these reasons, delegating work and responsibility can be very beneficial for the company. But to be effective, delegation must be used with some caution. Before delegating a project, you, as a manager, must first answer two questions: 1) To whom should projects be delegated? 2) What kind and how much work and responsibility can be delegated to this person?

3. It is important to understand that delegation involves projects, which include significant decision making. If an employee is not given the responsibility to make decisions, it is not delegation. The assigning of routine and repetitive work does not bring the benefits which delegation can.

4. Work assignment, even though the employee is asked to perform a specific task as assigned, also has the potential to add to the positive climate – when it is fair and takes employee preferences into consideration.

This, obviously, is difficult to do all the time, but if employees are given as much of a voice in deciding who should receive non-regular work assignments, good ones as well as undesirable ones, then these assignments are likely to have a beneficial impact on morale.

5. Delegating work to an employee who is not ready to accept the responsibility can have two negative effects: 1) The job will not get done or not be completed on time. 2) The failures that result from ineffective delegation will have an understandably bad effect on the employee.

6. When delegating, it is good to always remember that effective delegation of work is not giving up all your authority. The delegate should have a fair amount of freedom, but the manager must retain some control. This will insure that the project is satisfactorily completed.

MARKETING MANAGEMENT

1.Management is a function of planning, organizing, coordinating, directing and controlling. Any managerial system, at any managerial level is characterized in terms of these general functions.

2. Management is a variety of specific activities. Marketing management refers to a broad concept covering organization of production and sales of products, which is based on consumer requirements research. All companies try to look beyond their present situation and develop a longterm strategy to meet changing conditions in their industry. Marketing management, therefore, consists of evaluating market opportunities, selecting markets, developing market strategies, planning marketing tactics and controlling marketing results.

3. Strategic planning includes defining the company’s long-term objectives as well as specific objectives, such as sales volume, market share, profitability and innovation, and deciding on financial, material and other resources necessary to achieve those objectives.

4. In problems of market selection and product planning one of the key concepts is that of the Product Life Cycle. That products pass through various stages between life and death (introduction – growth – maturity – decline), is hard to deny. Equally accepted is the understanding that a company should have products mix with representation in each of these stages. Companies can make far more effective marketing decisions if they take time to find out where each of their products stands in its life cycle.

5. As a managerial process, marketing is the way in which an organization determines its best opportunities in the marketplace. The marketing process is divided into a strategic and a tactical phase. The strategic phase has three components – segmentation, targeting, and positioning (STP). Segmentation is determining different groups of customers in the market. Targeting is choosing which groups of customers can be served effectively. Positioning is placing the company or brand in relation to competitors.

6. The marketing process includes designing and implementing various tactics, commonly referred to as the “4 Ps”: product, price, place (or distribution), and promotion.
