Speaker Five
五號發(fā)言人
Woman: I sometimes really do think that the people who know least about a company are the people who run it... that's why there's such an industry in advising on and supplying the skills for managing change. We went along assuming that we were selling well because of what we saw as our core qualities but we were wrong.
女：有時候，我真的覺得那些管理公司的反而是對公司了解最少的人......這就是之所以會存在為公司管理變動提供建議和技能的行業(yè)的原因。一直以來，我們都以為我們的銷量會很可觀，因為我們有我們的核心品質(zhì)，但我們錯了。
It was just that we happened to have got our pricing right, so when we changed that, it all started falling apart. Things got decidedly grim for a time, and drastic action was required. A merger was considered, and an aggressive takeover had to be fought off.
我們只是碰巧定價定對了，所以一改變定價，問題就來了。問題一度變得非常嚴(yán)峻，采取極端行動迫在眉睫。我們考慮過合并，而且必須采取激進的收購措施。
In the end, it was easier to accept an offer for the Budget Products Division, and avoid major redundancies, than to go on trying to keep the whole thing afloat.
最后，相比費盡心思維持整個公司的運轉(zhuǎn)，預(yù)算產(chǎn)品部門還是覺得接受報價，避免大規(guī)模裁員更容易接受。
