27、ersonnel management: the importance to a company of having well-motivated staff First of all, having well-motivated staff ensures better productivity. When an employee is highly motivated, there should be nothing to prevent him from devoting himself to the job. He will be very proactive to his re

28、sponsibilities. This will significantly reduce wasted time and effort, which in turn can enhance productivity and overall performance.

29、on with the job and the firm. Company loyalty in turn will greatly reduce turnover level and help retain the best brain needed by the firm.

31、ure that we check the financial situation of our company before we decide whether to purchase or to rent company remises.

32、 have enough money to purchase premises. Any ignorance of current financial situation will break company’s cash flow or even undermine the company ’s normal production.

After all these careful studies we can finally make our decision. C. Sales: how to ensure that price levels for new products are set appr

34、opriately First, we should consider the cost of our new products before we put them into the market. The price level we should set at least includes all the cost and investment and makes us gain some margins. Second, we should carry out an investigation or market research in the target market

35、to see what price level can be accepted by our potential customers. We will also have to study the consumers ’habits and the popularity of our new products in the target market.
