Company organization

　　Presenting the company

　　1. Listening Listen to the presentation about Rossomon Plc. As you listen, complete the organization Chart below.

　　Listening Task

　　I'd like to say a few words about the organizational structure of Rossomon. Now, if you look at the transparency you will see that the Managing Director, that is Mr. Bunce, is responsible for running the company and is accountable to the Board.

　　Now, he is assisted by four executive departments. These are Human Resources, which is responsible for personnel, training and management development; then there is the Finance Department which takes care of corporate finance and accounting; next, we have the Management Services Department, led by Peter Jenkins who is in charge of rationalization throughout the company; and finally there is the R&D Department- research and development-which works closely with the five regions on new product development.

　　So this then brings me on to the regions. Directly under the Managing Director there are five Regional Managers. Each of them is responsible for the day-to-day management of a territory-these are geographically split into North, South, East, West, and Central Regions.

　　Now then, the five regions are supported by two sections-Marketing and Technical Services. They are organized on a matrix basis with section leaders accountable to the Regional Managers. They work closely with the regions on the marketing and technical side.

　　Now, in addition to the parent company, Rossomon has three subsidiaries, namely Rossomon France, Germany and Japan. The subsidiaries report to the Export Sales Department, which in turn is accountable to the Board.

　　Right, well that's a brief overview. Are there any questions?

　　有四個(gè)執(zhí)行部門(mén)輔助他，即人力資源部，負(fù)責(zé)人事、培訓(xùn)和管理人才的開(kāi)發(fā);財(cái)務(wù)部，負(fù)責(zé)公司財(cái)務(wù)和會(huì)計(jì);下一個(gè)，是管理服務(wù)部，由彼得.詹金斯領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，他負(fù)責(zé)整個(gè)公司的合理化建設(shè);最后是研究與發(fā)展部，他們與五個(gè)地區(qū)緊密合作，開(kāi)發(fā)新產(chǎn)品。

　　再往下看，五個(gè)地區(qū)受到兩個(gè)部門(mén)即營(yíng)銷(xiāo)部和技術(shù)服務(wù)部的支持。它們是按矩陣模式組織起來(lái)的，積壓部門(mén)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)要對(duì)地區(qū)經(jīng)理負(fù)責(zé)。在營(yíng)切與技術(shù)方面，又與積壓地區(qū)緊密配合。
