2、k the question：what do we donow although this is a fair question,it is difficult to answer.Certainly,for a collegestudent taking business courses or be beginning employee just staring a career,thequestion is even more difficult to answer.And yet there are still opportunities outthere d=for people wh

3、o are willing to work hard,continue to learn,and possess theability to adapt to change.当面对不仅来自美国的公司而且来自位于世界其他地方的国际公司的经济问题和日益激烈的竞争时，员工和经理现在开始要问一个问题：我们要做什么？虽然这是一个很清晰的问题，但是它是很难回答的。当然，对于一个正在谈论商务课程的大学生或者一个刚开始职业生涯的员工来说，这个问题更难回答。但目前仍然有许多机会给那些愿意努力工作，继续学习并且拥有适应变化的能力的人。Whether you want to obtain part-time emp

4、loyment to pay college and living expense,begin your career as a full time employee,or start a business,you must bringsomething to the table that makes you different from the next person.Employee andour capitalistic economic systems are more demanding than ever before.Ask yourself:What can I do that

5、 will make employee want to pay me a salary What skills do I havethat employers need With these questions in mind,we begin with another basicquestion:Why study businessThere are at least four quite compelling reasons.2无论你想获得可以用来支付大学和生活开销的兼职，作为一个全职员工开始你的职业生涯，或者创业，你都应该拿出可以让你不同于其他人的东西。雇主和我们的资本主义经济体系比以往

6、更加苛刻。问问你自己：我怎样做才能让我的雇主愿意支付我一份薪水我拥有什么技能是雇主所需要的在脑海里带着这两个问题，我们开始另一个基本的问题：为什么学习商务。这里有四个令人完全信服的理由。For help in choosing a careerWhat do you want to do with the rest of your life Someplace,sometime,someoneprobably has asked you this same question.And like many people,you may find it adifficult question to

7、answer.B y studying business,you will be introduced to a widearray of employment opportunities.In private enterprise,these range from small,local businesses owned by one individual to large companies such as AmericanExpress and Marriott International that are owned by thousands of stockholders.There

8、 are also employment opportunities with federal,state,county,and localgovernments and with not-for-profit organization such as the Red Cross and Save theChildren.一.在职业选择上的帮助：你希望用你剩余的生命做什么事？某地，某时，某人也许问过你这个同样的问题。然而就像许多人，你会发现这是一个很难回答的问题。通过学习商务知识，你将被引入到一个广泛的就业机会，在私营企业中，范围是从由个人所拥有的小型、本地企业到比如美国运通公司或者万豪国际集

9、团这些由成千上万的股东共同拥有的大型公司。在联邦，州，县，以及地方政府部门与非营利组织如红十字会和救助儿童会等同样有着就业机会。One thing to remember as you think about what your ideal career might be is that a3persons choice of a career ultimately is just a reflection of what he or she values andholds most important.What will give one individual personal satisf

10、action may notsatisfy another.What you choose to do with your life will be based on what you feelis most important.And the you is a very important part of that decision.有一件事要记住，当你在思考你的最理想的职业是什么的时候，就是一个人对于职业的选择，最终只是反映出他或她的价值观和认为最重要的事。能够令一个人满意的可能没办法使其他人也满意。你在生活中所选择去做的将基于你觉得最重要的是什么。所以“你”是那个决定的重要组成部分。To

11、 be a successful employeeDeciding on the type of career you want is only the first step.To get as job in yourchosen field and to be successful at it,you will have to develop a plan,or a rod map,that ensures that you have the skills and knowledge the job requires.You will beexpected to have both tech

13、whenyou are interviewing with a prospective employer.一.成为一名成功的员工决定你想要的职业只是第一步。要在你所选择的领域找到工作，并在其上取得成功，你必须制定一个计划，或者一个图表，以确保你拥有工作所需的技能和知识。你将被期望同时拥有完成某项任务所需的技术技能以及在多元文化的工作中与各种类型的人共事的能力。这些技能连同对于美国商业系统的工作知识和对文化多元化工作场所的评价一起，可以在你被未来雇主面试的时候给4你一个内在的优势。All the resource available at your college or university c

16、e work/school programs,during summer vacations,or in part-timejobs during the school year.These things can make a difference when it istime toapply for the job you really want.在大学里的所有可利用的资源能够帮助你获得你将来为了实现一个成功的职业生涯所需要的技能和知识。但是不可以低估让梦想变成现实这一过程中你自身的那一部分。要实现自己的目标，就要努力工作、奉献、毅力和时间管理。与人沟通的技能同样是重要的。今天，许多雇主正在

17、寻找能够撰写商务信函，并使它成为可以邮寄的形式的员工。他们同样希望自己的雇员能够与顾客交流并且能够使用电子邮件与组织内外的人进行沟通。雇主们同样会感兴趣于你可能在暑假期间或者学期兼职中在其他工作或者学校等合作社里有过的工作经验。当你在申请一份你真正想要的工作时，这些东西会让情况变得不一样。To start your own businessSome people prefer to work for themselves,and they open their own businesses.Tobe successful,business owners must posses many of

18、the same skills that successfulemployees have.And they must be willing to work hard and put in long hours.5三开始你自己的事业有的人更喜欢为他们自己工作，所以他们开创了自己的事业。为了实现成功，企业主必须拥有成功员工所拥有的许多相同的技能。他们还必须自愿地努力工作并且长时间地投入。It also helps if your small business can provide a product or service that customerswant.For example,Mark

20、 became a billionaire.如果你的小企业可以为顾客提供他们想要的一种产品或服务，那将会产生很大用处。例如，马克古巴开创了一个名为的小型网络公司，在网络上提供数以百计的直播和点播的音视频节目，范围从说唱音乐到体育赛事到商务活动。由于古巴的公司满足了客户的需求，所以是非常成功的。当古巴把卖给雅虎时，他成为了一个亿万富翁。Unfortunately,many small-business firms fail;70%of them fail within the first fiveyears.Typical reasons for business include underca

21、pitalization(not enough money),business location,poor customer service,unqualified or untrained employees,fraud,lack of a paper business plan,and failure to seek outside professional help.不幸的是，许多小型企业都失败了；他们之中 70%在五年之内就失败了。企业失败的典型原因包括资金不足，落后的业务定位，客户服务差，不合格或未经训练的员工，欺诈，缺乏一个适当的经营规划，不寻求外部专业帮助等。6Unit 2Ask

22、 the average person on the street what marketing is and theyll tell you its about“selling stuff,Thats fundamentally true,but marketing is not simply the act of sales,but how that sale is made.We are all surrounded by marketing 24/7 and each of us isalready a marketer in our own way.在街上问普通人什么是营销的话，他们

23、会告诉你那就是关于“卖东西”。这在根本上是正确的，但市场营销并非简单的销售行为，而是如何销售。我们被全天候不间断营销所包围，并且我们每个人都已经以我们自己的方式成为一个市场营销人员。How do the professionals define marketing According to the American MarketingAssociation,“Marketing is an organizational function and a set of processes forcreating,communicating and delivering value to custom

24、ers and for managingcustomer relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stakeholders.”专业人员是如何定义营销的？据美国市场营销协会所说，“市场营销是一种组织功能，一套为客户创造、交流和传递价值的流程，并且以有利于组织和其股东的方式管理着客户关系”The World Marketing Association defines marketing as“the core business philosophythat direct the processes of identif

25、ying and fulfilling the needs of individuals andorganizations through exchange which create superior value for all parties.”世界市场营销协会把市场营销定义为：“是一个运用核心经营理念指导识别过程，满足于个人的需求，并通过交流，为各方创造卓越价值的组织”And finally,the.s Chartered Institute of Marketing says that“marketing is themanagementprocessofidentifying,anti

26、cipatingandsatisfyingconsumerrequirements profitably.”7最后，英国特许营销学会说，“营销是对管理过程的识别，预测，和满足消费者的需求从而使企业获利。”If we just look at the commonalities of these three definitions,we can see that,inessence,marketing is a discovering and giving consumers what they want and need,and doing this at a profit.如果我们只是寻找以

27、上三个定义的共性，我们可以看到，在本质上，营销是：a.发现并给予消费者所希望并需要的东西；b.以此来谋取利益。The 4 or 5 Ps of marketingProfessor Jerome McCarthy of Michigan State University wrote a book in the 1950sand defined the 4 Ps of marketing:product,place,price and promotion.This bookprovided a clear structure to the oldest profession on the pla

28、net and became the verydefinition of marketing.营销 4P 或 5P 理论密歇根州立大学的麦卡锡杰罗姆教授在上世纪 50 年代写了一本书定义了营销 4P 理论：包括产品、渠道、价格和促销。这本书为地球上最古老的职业提供了一个清晰的体系，因此成为了营销的非常定义。In order to better understand marketing,develop yourown definition of the term.For example,I think of marketing as the manipulation of product,pri

29、ce,distribution,promotion and people to satisfy consumers at a profit.Manipulation is a chargedword,especially when we talk about manipulating people.However,manipulation isimportant because as a marketer,I control each of the tools of marketing andmanipulate them to maximize impact on the market.为了

30、更好地理解营销，并发展成为你自己的定义。比如，我认为市场营销8是通过对产品，价格，分销，促销和人的操纵来满足消费者从而获取利益。操纵是一个敏感的词，尤其是当我们在谈论对人的操纵的时候。然而，操纵是有必要的，因为作为一个营销人员，我控制着每一种营销工具并操纵他们最大限度地影响市场。As a marketing manager,I manipulate what a product look like,smells like,and feelslike.I manipulate how much should be charged for my product.I manipulate tools

31、 inmy promotion tool kit in hopes of enticing consumers to buy my product.There arethe 4 Ps of marketing as highlighted by McCarthy.To these we have added a fifth P:people.作为一个营销经理，我巧妙地控制着一个产品看起来像什么，闻起来像什么以及感觉起来像什么。我操纵着我们的产品应该收取多少钱。我在我的升级版工具套件中操纵工具，希望能吸引消费者购买我的产品。这就是麦卡锡高度强调的营销中的 4 个问题。在这基础上，我们加上第五个

32、P：人。PeopleMarketers have debated for years whether“people”should be included as the fifth Pof marketing.But without people,there is no point to marketing,which is why Iinclude it here.People营销人员们对于“人”是否应该作为第五个 P 包括在营销内这个问题的讨论已经持续多年了。但是如果不包括人，那营销就变得有点不着边际了，所以这是我在这里把它函括进来的原因。Practiced well,marketing r

33、evolves around the wants,needs and desires of people.Sometimes the needs are physical,such as nutritious food and clean water.Sometimes the needs are psychological such as a need to impress.Sometimes the9need is sociological,such as the need fit into a culture,or the need to stand out.There are an i

34、nfinite number of reasons for people to do what they do,want whatthey want and act as they do.Therefore,effective marketing should begin with aninsightful understanding of the consumer.实践证明，营销围绕着人们的理想的、需要的、和欲望。有时，这些需求是物质上的，比如有营养的食物和干净的水。有时，那些需求是心理上的，比如需要给人留下深刻印象。有时，那些需求是社会学上的，比如需要去适应一种文化或者一种脱颖而出的需求。

35、有无限多的理由可以让人们去做他们所做的，去幻想他们所要的以及所做的，正如他们经常做的那样。因此，有影响力的营销应该首先对消费者进行深刻的了解。However,few marketers actually begin with consumers.Why Because mostmarketing starts with the invention of some new product that there may or may notbe a market for.“Weve invented a better product,now go find someone to buy it”is

36、all too often the sequence of events.Quite simply,this is why 80%plus of all newproducts in the.fail in their first year.然而，很少有营销人员真正地从消费者入手。为什么？因为许多营销一开始伴随着的是新发明出来但不一定能成为市场所需的新产品。“我们发明了一种更好的产品，现在去找一些人来购买它”这是经常发生的事件序列了。非常简单，这就是为什么在美国，80%以上的新产品在他们的第一年里就失败了。No matter what we are selling,there will be

37、some people that are more likely thanothers to want to buy it.For example,as a non-smoker,it would be a waste of timeand money to try to get me to buy your brand of cigarettes.However,if were aconfirmed smoker,I might be interested in trying a new brand Id never tried.Discovering your ideal target m

38、arket and learning all you can about why they do will10help you determine the best way to present your product to maximize interest.无论我们在卖什么，总会有一些人比起另外的人更想要购买它。例如，作为一个不抽烟的人，想要尝试让我购买你的名牌香烟那就是在浪费时间和金钱。然而，如果我是一个老烟民，我可能会比较有兴趣去尝试以前从没试过的牌子。发现你理想中的目标市场并且尽你所能地去了解他们为什么做了什么，这样可以帮助你下定决心以一种最好的方式来介绍你的产品以获得最大限度的利

39、益。ProductYour product is anything that can be offered for ale or use to another individual.Itincludesthequalityoftheproduct,thematerialschosen,thecolour/size/scent/taste,every physical aspect of the product.It also includes the packagingof the product(For example,is the product protected or availabl

40、e for the world tosee),the design and manufacturing of the product and any research anddevelopment underway to discover better ways to make the product.The product Pcovers everything that goes into the development of the tangible or intangible object.Product你的产品是指任何能够被提供给其他的个体出售或者使用的东西。它包括产品的质量，所选择的

41、材料，颜色、型号、味道、滋味等所有产品所具有的物理方面的性质。它同时也包括产品的包装，产品的设计和制造以及任何为了发现制造产品的更好途径而正在进行的研究和开发。这个产品所代表的P 覆盖了所有进入有形或无形发展的对象。PricePrice not only pays for your cost of goods and profit,is does much more.Pricecommunicate quite a bit about the product and sets quality expectations.Ii also11segments the audience into th

42、ose who can afford it and those who can only wishthey could.And finally,it even conveys how you should consume the product.Price价格不仅是为你的商品支付费用和收益，它起到更多的作用。价格沟通相当多是关于产品并且抱有对质量的期望。它也可以将公众细分为那些能负担得起的人和那些只能抱有幻想的人。最后，它甚至传达出你应该如何消费这些产品。Even an established brand can charge too much or too little.For exampl

43、e,the VWPhaeton was a failure because VW had spent decades convincing us“the people carshouldnt be expensive.”Similarly when the Porsche 914 became known as the“poor mans Porsche”(due in part to its low entry-level price)the brand was doomedto failure.即使一个既定的品牌可以改变过多或过少。例如，大众辉腾是一个失败品，因为大众公司花了几十年的时间让

44、我们信服：“人类的汽车不应该变得昂贵”。同样的当保时捷 914 倍称为“穷人的保时捷”时，这个品牌注定是要失败的。PlacePlace refers to where and how you sell your product and is also referred to asdistribution.To get this P right you have to decide whether to sell your product in anexclusive boutique or in huge superstore Will you make it widely available

45、 or in aselect few stores There are important strategic decisions that influence how ourproduct is perceived and the price consumers will be willing to pay for it.Place12Place 指的是在哪里和如何销售你的产品，它同时也涉及到分配问题。为了让这个 P 变得正确，你必须决定是要在一个独家精品店还是在一个巨大的超市销售你的产品。你会让它被广泛地使用还是处于一个精选的商店？有一些战略决策会影响到如何让你的产品被感知到并且让消费者能

46、够自愿地去支付的价格。For example,how special would a Burberry coat be if you could buy it at a discountstore Some products start with very exclusive distribution,establish a reputation fortheir brand and then expand distribution.Apple did this with their iPod,whichstarted in exclusive Apple stores and online

47、and is now widely available.Considerhow your quality expectations change in regard to low-cost airlines such as Ryanaircompared to British Airways.Place can set quality expectations.例如，如果你能够在一个折扣商店买到一件博柏利风衣那将会有多特别。一下产品一开始就采用独家经销，建立起一个自己的品牌信誉然后展开分销。苹果的 iPod 就是这样做的，从一开始就在苹果专卖店网上独家经销，时至今日以及被广泛使用。考虑一下你对

48、低成本航空公司的质量期望的变化，比如瑞安航空公司对比于英国航空公司。价格能够建立起质量期望。PromotionAny way you choose to promote your product is called promotion in marketing.Thisincludes any form of marketing communication such as advertising,public relations,sales promotion,event marketing,as well as any personal one-on-one selling you do.P

49、romotion无论你使用什么方式去推广你的产品都被称为营销推广。这包括了任何形式的营销传播，如广告，公共关系，促销，事件营销，以及你做出的任何对于13个人的一对一销售。There is one other P that gets debated on a regular basis and that is“profit”.Allcommercial business are in business to make a profit.Profits are good.With profits,business can pay their employee more,they can expan

50、d their business and hire morepeople,they can start new business.Profits are the lifeblood of capitalism.有另外一个 P 会定期得到辩论，那就是“profit”。所有的商业企业都在经营时都是为了获得利润。利润固然是好的。有了利润，企业能够支付更多钱给他们的员工，他们能够扩展他们的生意并聘用更多的人，并且可以开始新的事业。利润是资本主义的命脉。There are thousands of ways to increase profitability.You can sell mare,char
