PARTE 8

Questions 156-159 refer to the following article.

The new economy has created great business opportunities as well as great turmoil. Not since the Industrial Revolution have the stakes of dealing with change been so high. Most traditional organizations have accepted, in theory at least, that they must make major changes. Even large new companies recognize that they need to manage the changes associated with rapid entrepreneurial growth. Despite some individual successes, however, this remains difficult, and few companies manage the process as well as they would like. Most companies have begun by installing new technology, downsizing, restructuring, or trying to change corporate culture, and most have had low success rates. About 70 percent of all change initiatives fail.

The reason for most of these failures is that in their rush to change their organizations, managers become mesmerized by all the different, and sometimes conflicting, advice they receive about why companies should change, what they should try to accomplish, and how they should do it. The result is that they lose focus and fail to consider what would work best for their own company. To improve the odds of success, it is imperative that executives understand the nature and process of corporate change much better.

Most companies use a mix of both hard and soft change strategies. Hard change results in drastic layoffs, downsizing, and restructuring. Soft change is based on internal organizational changes and the gradual development of a new corporate culture through individual and organization learning. Both strategies may be successful, but it is difficult to combine them effectively. Companies that are able to do this can reap significant payoffs in productivity and profitability.

156. What is the article mainly about?

- (A) Corporate marketing plans

- (B) New developments in technology

- (C) Ways for companies to increase profits

- (D) How companies try to adapt to new conditions


157. The word "manage" in paragraph 1, line 6, is closest in meaning to

- (A) correct

- (B) attract

- (C) handle

- (D) regulate


158. According to the article, why do so many attempts to change fail?

- (A) Soft change and hard change are different.

- (B) Executives are interested only in profits.

- (C) The best methods are often not clear.

- (D) Employees usually resist change.


159. What is soft change based on?

- (A) Changes in the corporate culture

- (B) Reductions in company size

- (C) Relocating businesses

- (D) Financial markets

To: Katharine Morandi

From: Ujjwal Ahmed, Optimum Software Company
Subject: Yesterday's meeting

Dear Katharine,

Thank you for taking the time to get together with us yesterday. Everyone on our team felt that it was a productive meeting. We have a better understanding of your project's needs now, and we've started looking at ways to adapt our software to meet your requirements.

While the basic function of the software is well suited to the project overall, as discussed, we will explore ways to adapt it to the needs of the different departments at Advantage that will be using it. This will incur some additional cost, as we indicated—we'll provide details about that at our next meeting, once our engineers have assessed the changes that will need to be made.

I've asked Peter Bodell to prepare a document for you that indicates when the Training and Consulting Department could start providing services to you. He'll send this information to you directly—since you've worked with him in the past, it seems the most efficient way to go.

As agreed, let's set up a meeting for the week of November 26 by which time our engineers will be able to outline their approaches to your departmental needs, and we'll have the information we need to put together a contract.

In the meantime, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Regards,

Ujjwal
