• Task: update the design of our DVD recorder

competition (snow slides of competitors’ latest models)

• Marketing team: get market feedback on prototype - organize

focus groups/ questionnaires

CAREER SKILLS

SPEAKING

The project will involve updating the design our DVD recorder I suggest that

the engineering department starts by looking at ways of improving picture and sound quality Meanwhile, I want the designers to come up with new colors and

designs To get results, we need to look at what our competitors are doing These

slides show the latest models from the competition I also want the marketing

team to get feedback on the prototype when it’s ready Probably the best way to

do this is to organize focus group or questionnaires

CULTURE AT WORK

Hierarchy: System, especially in a society or

organization, in which people are organized into different levels importance from highest and lowest

Eg: she’s quite high up in the management hierarchy

Dictatorial: Using power in an unreasonable way

by telling people what to do and notlistening to their views of wishes

Democratic: Based on the principle that all people

Have an equal right to be involved in Running an organization

Eg: My boss have a dictatorial behavior

Eg: In my company, all employees have

democratic right.

  -Power distance refers to the way in which power is distributed and

the extent to which the less powerful accept that power is distributed unequally

What does “Power distance” mean?

-Power distance can be divided into two kinds: high power

distance and low power distance.

Low power distance High power distance

High

power distance

Leaders are therefore expected to resolve disputes as well as make all the difficult decisions Subordinates will simply comply with their leader rather than challenge him or her or try to arrive

at their own solutions in dealing with conflict They seldom

challenge their leaders power.

Power distance high

Low

power distance

There is a preference for consultation and subordinates will quite readily approach and contradict their bosses The parties will

openly work towards resolving any dispute by stating their own points of view. 

Power distance high

Minimize inequalities between people Inequalities and hierarchy are

accepted between people

The managers and employees are

treated equally

Employees respect and managers expect obedience

The ideal manager is democratic The ideal manager is dictatorial

Less formal social interaction Formal social interaction

Narrow range of salaries Wide range of salaries

Decentralization is popular Centralizations is popular

Which corresponds best to your culture? Which of the culture types would you be most comfortable, and

why?

DILEMMA AND DECISION

Invention (n): a new product that was not available before

Nanotechnology (n): a science that combines computer technology and chemistry to build things from atoms

Revolution (n) a complete change in way of thinking, method of

working

1998

Work in small groups Read the descriptions of the applicants for the NESTA grants below Discuss the merits of each product in term of: innovative potential, long-term returns, and the social and the

cultural impact of the technology

TASK 1

Nanotechnology to fight bioterrorism

Nanosight has developed a way of synthetically reproducing a version of what happens when the body first detect a virus, using computer and microelectronic technology This technique is not limited to detecting biowarfare virus but can speed up drug development and dramatically reduce costs for pharmaceutical companies

Working tyrelessly for the environment

UTDR Research has developed a machine which can

recycle tyres in an environmentally-friendly fashion

It also converts the waste into marketable by-products,

which can produce revenue for the business At

present, 190,000 tones of waste tyres in landfill sites

or official dumping grounds are, among other

disadvantages, under constant threat of unmanageable

fires

Vision of the future

Camfed have come up with a revolutionary invention in optics, which can lead to the production of energy-efficient, low-cost, high-performance displays and ultimately home cinemas and TV To date, displays have been either thin and expensive or space-consuming and cheap

Point and click for learning on the move

Hypertag Ltd wants to produce interactive

mobile multimedia technology Their

technology uses hand-held computers which,

when pointed at an electronic device near an

exhibit at a museum or art gallery, can offer lots

of relevant information including text, video,

pictures and sound

Convert the waste into the

If you are members of NESTA, decide which product you will chose to back and develop Each group should present their chosen product and say why it is the most worthy As a class, decide on the winning product.

TASK 2 & 3

WHAT NESTA DECIDED

VERSION OF THE FUTURE

Camfed have come up with a revolutionary invention in optics Which will lead to the production of energy-efficient, low-cost, high-performance displays, and ultimately home cinemas and TV Today displays have been either thin and expensive or space consuming and cheap

Camfed received a investment of £150,000 from NESTA to help the to develop the prototype of their technology to engage major corporate customers The market for consumer display is huge Sales are projected to exceed £10 billion by 2009
