The market investigation is indispensable to sales promotion. They are closely related as the lips and teeth, so to speak. What you produce is for sale on the market. It would be impossible to succeed in selling a product without first investigating the market.
In the international market, goods on sale coming from different countries and suppliers are always facing keen competition. Under such circumstances, they will try everything possible to familiarize themselves with the market conditions. In making investigations, we ought to get information about what similar items the competitors are offering on the market, what prices they are quoting, what features their products have, who are their regular customers, etc. Then, how can we obtain such information?
There are many channels that we can make use of in doing this sort of work. The commercial counselor’s offices of our embassies stationed abroad can help us in making market investigations.
Nowadays, our import and export corporations send their trade groups abroad every now and then. One of their purposes is to make market surveys on the spot.
Certainly, face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen are also important channels to get market information. The Chinese Export Commodities Fairs and some other fairs of similar nature as well as visits of foreign businessmen provide us with such opportunities. Of course, there are some other ways of making market investigations.

Accounting errors will happen from time to time, but many common accounting mistakes can be avoided with proper planning and preparation. Here are the top seven accounting mistakes that should be paid more attention to.
(1) Not knowing your true cash balance: Due to things like automatic payments and bank charges, money that appears in your cash drawer and your checking account may already be spent.
(2) Mistaking profits for cash: When you have a lot of credit sales, your company can post big profits without seeing any cash.
(3) Paying bills too soon: If your vendors give you thirty days to pay them, take it. Unless you get a discount for paying early, paying your bills only when they’re due improves your company’s cash flow.
(4) Avoiding book-keeping tasks: Not recording and posting transactions regularly leaves you with a mountain of book-keeping to deal with in the end.
(5) Paying accidental dividends: Every time a corporation owner takes money out of his business, it counts as a dividend. That can lead to a bigger personal income-tax bill.
(6) Not keeping personal finances separate from business: Mixing up business and personal money can cause bookkeeping and legal problems.
(7) Setting prices too low: Know your costs before you set product or service prices, or you run the risk of losing money on every sale. A simple break-even analysis can help you set prices at a profitable level.
(1)Accounting mistakes are inevitable even with careful handling.判断题 (难易度: 中)

We all have those days when all we want is to crawl back in bed for a few more hours. Unfortunately, few of us have that luxury. The following hints may help you stay energized, or at least get you going until you can make the time for rest.
?Engage in a quick conversation with high-energy colleagues. Their positive energy may refresh you. Just be careful not to drag them down!
?Snack more! Having a healthy snack on hand, like a granola bar or fruit can help your blood sugar levels and may provide a healthy boost of energy. However, moderation is key! Overeating will do the opposite and drag you down!
?Exercise. If you know that your schedule does not allow for a visit to the gym today, find a way to move around during your day. Instead of sending an email to your co-worker, walk to her desk or just take the stairs today, even though you’re tired. People who exercise get more restful sleep and often feel more energized than those who don’t.
?Drink water. “Hydration is critical,” says Steven Masley, medical director of the Pritikin Longevity Center in Aventura, Florida. Much of your body is made of water. “If you don’t hydrate, you’re going to feel tired.”
?Plan a vacation. Whether you leave town for a day or for a week, having something fun you’ve been looking forward to will excite you and stimulate energy.

Information is important because it provides the facts that supply chain managers use to make decisions. Without information, a manager will not know what consumers want, how much inventory is in stock, and when more products should be produced and shipped. In short, without information, a manager can only make decisions blindly.
Managers must understand how information is gathered and analyzed. This is where information technology comes into play. Information technology serves as the eyes and ears of management in a supply chain, capturing and delivering the information necessary to make a good decision. For instance, an IT system at a personal computer manufacturer may help a manager analyze the information and recommend an action. The manager can use the remaining chips first, then look at demand forecast, and determine whether to order more chips.
There are four reasons why timely and accurate information has become more important for effective logistics system design and operations. First, customers recognize information about order status, product availability, delivery schedule, and shipment tracking as necessary elements of total customer service. Then, managers realize that information can be used to reduce human resource requirements. What’s more, information increases flexibility with regard to how, when, and where resources may be used to gain strategic advantage. And finally, enhanced information transfer and exchange capability of using the Internet is changing relationships between buyers and sellers and refining channel relationships.

Medical research is constantly trying to find ways to help people live longer, but is this what people want? A recent survey has found that many people do not want to live to old age. Most people said that although they would like a long life, they do not want to live if they are unable to live an independent life. They do not want to be too ill to take care of themselves. Many people also said that they would not want to live longer than their children.
Recent reports suggest that due to not doing enough exercise and eating junk food, children are becoming less healthy than their parents and these reports are the reason why some parents are afraid that their children will die before them. If the conclusions in this survey are true, society must ask itself if medical research is going in the right direction. Instead of trying to help old people live longer, perhaps it should be looking at ways of helping old people stay independent and helping young people stay healthier.

No matter how small your business is and what industry you are in, your company has assets. From a computer to a processing plant, every single thing your company owns is an asset.
Assets can be in different forms. Some assets are physical, such as computers, filing cabinets, and delivery vans. Others are legally binding promises, such as accounts receivable, the money owed to your company. Still others seem to exist more on paper, for example, a year’s worth of insurance paid in advance. No matter what form it takes, anything with monetary value that your company owns counts as an asset.
Assets appear on your balance sheet, reporting the key financial statements at the end of each accounting period. Your assets will be split into different types to make analysis easier. The order in which you list them on the balance sheet typically matches the way they appear in your chart of accounts.
Assets do more than just show up on reports, though. They are the resources your company uses to produce revenue. Your business cannot bring in sales without assets. For product-based businesses, you can’t produce anything without proper assets. It’s true for service companies as well. At least, you must have cash to pay your expenses and to help get the word out that your company exists. Service companies also need basic tools to provide service to customers: a hair stylist needs a chair, scissors, and styling tools; an accountant needs a computer and a lot of file cabinets. Assets are key factors for any business.

Hard sell and soft sell are important business terms and useful strategies for sales staff to know and understand. Both of them can work. The effect depends on the type of customers and the type of products.
A hard sell is a kind of more direct and forceful sales tactics. The sales person just keeps explaining how good the product is, why people should buy it and even how the prices might increase if the consumer walks off.
A soft sell is a different approach. The sales person tries to build trust with consumers. He doesn’t put pressure on them to buy things, just recommending a product and letting the consumers make their own decisions.
An example of soft sell is to distribute free samples to which customers often respond favorably. Businesses can use free samples to build rapport and engage customers in products or services. Recommending products between friends is a little bit like doing soft selling. People don’t really care if someone else buys the product. They are just giving their honest opinions and trying to be helpful.
Humor in advertising is also used to attract the consumer’s attention and get them interested in the products or services. Customers often resist hard sales tactics, thus making soft-selling much more effective for success.
