Management by objective tells a manager what he ought to do. The proper organization of his job enables him to do it, but it is the spirit of the organization that determines whether he will do it or not. It’s the spirit that motivates, that calls upon a man’s reserves of dedication and effort, that decides whether he will give his best or do just enough to get by.

(Adapted from Peter Drucker “The Practice of Management”).

MOBILE MAD
There are good reasons to be worried about children and mobile phones, reports Michael Fitzpatrick. Sociologists in Japan, where mobiles have been common among the young for some time and offer sophisticated services, see an alarming trend.

In Tokyo, for example, one-quarter of all four to fifteen-year-olds has a mobile phone. Well over half of Japan’s high school students own one, many of them Internet enabled. Half the children polled recently said their lifestyle “required” them to have a mobile phone, while 41,5 percent said their parents “forced” them to have one.

Such density of mobile ownership, especially among the young, has lead to a new type of neurosis, say sociologists. Japanese teens, in particular, have become fanatical about being “always available”. Teenagers can be seen taking advantage of every spare minute to touch base with their friends. It is not the content of the communication but the act of staying in touch that matters. Indeed, many become extremely uneasy if unable to contact their peers countless times each day, fearing they are becoming socially isolated.

If this trend continues two things are likely to happen. One is mobile phone addiction, where a person is incapable of forming and maintaining relationships without the help of mobiles. The second – genuine conversation will be driven out by superficial communication, in which the act of contacting one another is all that matters, leading to a deterioration in the quality of relationships. Indeed, the very fabric of society may be threatened.

1. Are there any reasons to get worried about children and mobile phones?

2. How many teenagers have mobile phones in Tokyo?

3. What things may happen if the trend of mobile addiction continues?

MULTITASKING

(Adapted from S.McCartney)

Now an arsenal of new technology (from notebook computers to cellular phones and portable televisions) makes it possible for everybody to multitask all day.

The computer industry introduced the word “multitasking” into the vocabulary. Mainframe computers that handled networks were the original multitaskers. Apple’s and Microsoft’s software turned millions of personal computers into multitaskers. Today millions of people can set their personal computers to multitask while they are themselves multitasking: talking on the phone, receiving faxes, and looking through newspapers at the same time.

While multitasking is not bad for computers, it may be a bad thing for some people. Psychologists say it is possible for the human brain to process two or more tasks at the same time, but only one of them receives full attention. Multitasking makes people’s stressful life even more stressful.

Because of the limitation of the human brain, multitasking can lead to many mistakes. Indeed, a person who is doing several things at the same time may put the wrong number in a spreadsheet or send a message on a wrong e-mail address.

Now multitasking takes place nearly everywhere. A lot of businessmen and managers are never far from their notebook computers and cellular telephones. They are almost always doing two or three things at once, driving and dialing, speaking and typing on their computers. That’s the world we live in right now.

(from Богацкий И.С., Дюканова Н.М. Бизнес-курс английского языка.

Словарь-справочник. Киев, 2004. С 201 – 202)

These results fit into theories that say our place in family birth order will influence our personality, said Frederick T.L. Leong, co-author of the study and professor of psychology at Ohio State University. Parents typically place different demands and have different expectations of children depending on their birth order, Leong said.

For example, parents may be extremely protective of only children and worry about physical safety. That may be why only children are more likely to show interest in academic pursuits rather than physical or outdoor activities. Only children will tend to get more time and attention from their parents than children with siblings. This will often make them feel special but the downside is that they may suffer occasional pangs of jealousy and loneliness when friends discuss their brothers and sisters and family life.

The first-born is an only child until the second child comes along – transforming them from being the centre of attention, to then sharing the care of parents. Being the youngest in the family can sometimes be stifling and frustrating experience, especially if they’re looking to be taken seriously and treated like an adult. The last-born is more likely than the other birth order positions to take up dangerous sports. This may be a sign of the last-born’s rebellious streak – a result of being fed up with always being bossed about by everyone else in the family. Middle-borns have to learn to get on with older and younger children, and this may contribute to them becoming good negotiators – of all the birth-order positions they are most skilful at dealing with authority figures and those holding inferior positions.

1. What are the advantages / disadvantages of being born first, middle or last in a family?

2. Do you think it is good to be an only child? Why? Why not?

THE DAILY GRIND WE JUST CAN’T DO WITHOUT
Work may sometimes seem like hell, but when we haven’t got it, we miss it. We miss it, we want it and perhaps we even need it. Everyone wants to be valued and salary is proof that we matter.

Not any job will do, however. Housework and voluntary work tend to be seen as non-jobs. In our work-centered culture, a “proper job” means paid employment. Being paid for a job is better for our self-esteem. Of course, we would also prefer work to be useful and interesting, as well as paid. But you don’t have to enjoy your job to get psychological benefits from it. According to some experts, achieving unenjoyable tasks during our work actually contributes to our sense of well-being.

The obligation to be in a particular place at a particular time, working as part of a team towards a common goal, gives us a sense of structure and purpose that we find difficult to impose on ourselves. For a lot of us, the workplace has also taken over from the community as the place of human contact. For most of us, work often functions as a social club, an information network, an informal dating agency and a marriage bureau.

Although genuine workaholics are uncommon, many of us are job addicts without realizing it. When we can’t work for whatever reason, we show similar signs to real addicts who are deprived of their fix - we become irritable and lethargic.

(from Richard Acklam, Araminta Crace. Total English Student's book. Upper intermediate. – Longman, 2006, P.20)

THETRES AND ENTERTAINMENT IN ENGLAND

To visit some London night clubs, such as Annabell’s or Tramp’s one need to be a member, or to go with a member, but for others, such as Stringfellow’s or Wag Club, Madame JoJo’s, and Heven, membership is not necessary. There are some large dancing halls, e.g. Hippodrome in Leicester Square, and many small ones.

London has 400 art galleries, ranging from historic public collections to small public and commercial galleries. The national collections are housed at the National Gallery, the Tate Gallery, and the Portrait Gallery, while among the city’s many permanent collections, the Courtauld Institute Galleries can boast many famous names, including many of the most important Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works.

MULTITASKING

(Adapted from S.McCartney)

Now an arsenal of new technology (from notebook computers to cellular phones and portable televisions) makes it possible for everybody to multitask all day.

The computer industry introduced the word “multitasking” into the vocabulary. Mainframe computers that handled networks were the original multitaskers. Apple’s and Microsoft’s software turned millions of personal computers into multitaskers. Today millions of people can set their personal computers to multitask while they are themselves multitasking: talking on the phone, receiving faxes, and looking through newspapers at the same time.

While multitasking is not bad for computers, it may be a bad thing for some people. Psychologists say it is possible for the human brain to process two or more tasks at the same time, but only one of them receives full attention. Multitasking makes people’s stressful life even more stressful.

Because of the limitation of the human brain, multitasking can lead to many mistakes. Indeed, a person who is doing several things at the same time may put the wrong number in a spreadsheet or send a message on a wrong e-mail address.

Now multitasking takes place nearly everywhere. A lot of businessmen and managers are never far from their notebook computers and cellular telephones. They are almost always doing two or three things at once, driving and dialing, speaking and typing on their computers. That’s the world we live in right now.

WHO COMES FIRST?
A child’s place in the family birth order may play a role in the type of occupations thet will interest him or her as an adult, new research suggests. In two related studies, researchers found that only children - and to a certain extent first-born children – were more interested in intellectual, cognitive pursuits than were later-born children. In contrast, later-born children were more interested in both artistic and outdoor-related careers.

These results fit into theories that say our place in family birth order will influence our personality, said Frederick T.L. Leong, co-author of the study and professor of psychology at Ohio State University. Parents typically place different demands and have different expectations of children depending on their birth order, Leong said.

For example, parents may be extremely protective of only children and worry about physical safety. That may be why only children are more likely to show interest in academic pursuits rather than physical or outdoor activities. Only children will tend to get more time and attention from their parents than children with siblings. This will often make them feel special but the downside is that they may suffer occasional pangs of jealousy and loneliness when friends discuss their brothers and sisters and family life.

The first-born is an only child until the second child comes along – transforming them from being the centre of attention, to then sharing the care of parents. Being the youngest in the family can sometimes be stifling and frustrating experience, especially if they’re looking to be taken seriously and treated like an adult. The last-born is more likely than the other birth order positions to take up dangerous sports. This may be a sign of the last-born’s rebellious streak – a result of being fed up with always being bossed about by everyone else in the family. Middle-borns have to learn to get on with older and younger children, and this may contribute to them becoming good negotiators – of all the birth-order positions they are most skilful at dealing with authority figures and those holding inferior positions.

3-й абзац.

Meetings like teams, do not necessarily achieve what they set out to do. One recent study in America by consultants Synectics found that senior and middle managers spent more than three-quarters of their time in meetings. On average, only 12 per cent of managers thought their meetings were productive. In high/performing companies, that figure rose to 25 per cent and in the lower performers it dropped to 2 per cent.

Team leaders should do everything they can to make sure they organize the meetings properly. Indeed, running meetings well is clearly an art, and a growing number of companies (including Synectics, which modestly claims to run the best meetings in the world) are offering help. Lots of meetings, of course, happen in the corridor or around the coffee machine, and those are probably the most efficient sort, because they tend to be spontaneous, small and quick. Bigger ones are usually more problematic, and team members have to put up with meetings where too little thought goes into agenda, the location, the people asked to attend and the outcome, say those try to improve them. That allows unimportant ideas or tedious individuals to hog the floor, with the result that a lot of team members find it hard to look forward to the next meeting.

Meetings tend to be held either to share information or to solve problems. For the first sort, Roger Neill of Synectics advocates asking all the participants to say at the end what they think they have heard, and correcting their accounts if they are wrong. With problem-solving, the aim ought not to be just brainstorming and coming up with ideas but also paying proper attention to putting solutions into practice. He also thinks it is wise to ask people what they liked about the things they heard; criticism usually comes unasked. Pessimism, skepticism and challenge all cause trouble.

The way to get a good decision is to frame the question carefully. If you want to invest in China, do not announce that you are planning to do this, or ask the meeting whether you should. Instead, enlist your colleagues’ help by saying: “We want to be in the Chinese market: how do we get there?”
