Job Ads: Reading between the lines
Checking out job advertisements is popular with executives worldwide. But though theactivity is universal, is the same true of the advertisements? Are executive positions indifferent countries advertised in the same way? A comparison of the jobs pages of TheTimes of London, Le Monde of Paris and Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitungsuggests not.
First, what UK job seekers consider an essential piece of information -what the post pays-is absent from French and German adverts. It is often left to applicants to raise thisthemselves. In contrast, most British advertisements mention not only salary, but also othermaterial incentives including a car and fringe benefits. French or German advertisementsrarely refer to these.
The attention given to rewards in the UK indicates the importance of the job and itsresponsibility. In Germany and France, that information is given by the level of experienceand qualifications demanded. Salary can be assumed to correspond with this.
If French and German adverts are vague about material rewards, they are precise aboutqualifications. They usually demand "a degree in ...", not simply "a degree". In Germany,for example, a technical director for a machine tool company will be expected to have aDipl.-Ing degree in Mechanical Engineering.
French advertisements go further. They may specify not just the type of grande cole
degree, but sometimes a particular set of institutions (Formation suprieure X, Centrale,Mines, HEC, ESSEC), these being the most famous grandes coles.

All this contrasts with the vague call for "graduates" (or "graduate preferred"), which is
found in the UK. British companies often give the impression that they have a particulartype of applicant in mind, but are not sure about the supply and will consider others. Theirwording suggests hope and uncertainty, as in this advertisement from The Times: "Whilsteducational standards are obviously important, a large measure of personal enthusiasm islikely to secure the success of your application."
In the UK, qualifications beyond degree level make employers nervous, but in France orGermany it is difficult to be "overqualified". Many people on German executive boardshave doctorates and the French regard five or six years of intensive post-bacealaurat studyat a grand cole as ideal training. British managers are not selected primarily for theirintelligence, as managers are in France or for their expert knowledge, as in Germany.
Instead the British give importance to social, political and leadership skills.
This difference also shows in the personal qualities mentioned. British advertisementsstress energy, ability to communicate and motivate. German advertisements likeachievement, but it tends to be less personality-driven. German companies want candidateswith sound knowledge, experience and competence in their field. They rarely recruitnovices, as do British employers. French advertisements refer more to intellectual qualitieslike analytical aptitude and independence.
Even the tone of the job advertisements is different in the three countries. By French andGerman standards, British advertisements are very audacious: They attract young
executives with challenges such as: "Are you reaching your potential?" whereas French andGerman advertisements are boringly direct, aiming to give information about the job ratherthan to sell it.
All this points to three different conceptions of management. The French regard it asintellectually complex, the Germans as technically complex, and the British asinterpersonally complex. But they agree on one thing: it's complex.

Lesson 2: Grammar
Relative Clauses
Look at the following sentences. The relative clause is in bold:
Mc Donald's is a place which sells hamburgers. Sally Jones is the manager of theMcDonalds on Oxford Street, which was one of the first fast food restaurants opened.
The relative clause in the first sentence is a defining clause . It tells us what type ofrestaurant Mc Donald's is and is therefore essential to the meaning of the sentence.
The relative clause in the second sentence is a non-defining clause. It gives us extrainformation about Mc Donald's.

Lesson 3: Management Styles
Key Vocabulary

To do this successfully, theymust use theirauthority, which is the right to take the decisions and give the orders thatwill allow their subordinates to reach certain objectives. Managers often delegate authority.This means that employees at lower levels of the company hierarchy can participate indecision-making.

Hollywood Stars Come to Spain
2006: Claudia Schiffer (Mango)
2005: Gisele Bundchen (El Corte Ingls)
2004: Nicole Kidman, George Clooney (El Corte Ingls)
2003: Sylvester Stallone (El Corte Ingls)
These are just a few of the Hollywood Celebrities that have recently taken to advertisingSpanish brands and shops.
In 2005, the world-famous Super Model Gisele Bundchen could be seen on thousands ofbillboards in the Iberian Peninsula advertising clothes, bikinis and accessories for Spain'sleading department store, 'El Corte Ingls' (The English Cut).
El Corte Ingls is Spain's best-known and best-loved store. El Corte Ingls is to Spain asSelfridges is to London and Macy's to New York. Whatever you need, an MP3 player, aCD, a Burberry bag or a Papaya, El Corte Ingls has it.
But why do these rich and famous superstars come to Spain?
According to Juan Morales*, Director of El Corte Ingls, "many Hollywood stars haveholiday homes either in mainland Spain (Alicante, Marbella, etc) or in the Balearic orCanary Islands, therefore El Corte Ingls is their favourite department store. We pay them alot of money and promise to run their ads only within the confines of the IberianPeninsula".

The Superstars Agents protect their clients' reputation by demanding that "Spain only"clauses be written into advertising contracts. The clauses impose heavy penalties if the adsomehow gets shown in the U.S.
In the past, American stars confined their endorsement exploits to Japan. However,according to Brian Dubin, senior vice-president at the William Morris Agency, stars can getbetween $1 million and $5 million for a single overseas campaign.
US stars wish to be seen by their home fans endorsing only products that boost their image.For example, in the US, Arnold Schwarzenegger is seen advertising the off-road vehicle,the Hummer and Sarah Jessica Parker fashionable Gap Clothes.
For many years now celebrities have been known to stoop pretty low to make some extracash, but now they don't mind if we see it. In the near future we can expect more
Hollywood embarrassing endorsements, coming soon whatever the country.

Coca-Cola to drop advertising in schools By John Steele (The Guardian 26/01/2004)
Coca-cola is to remove advertising of its products from the front of around 4,000 vending machines in
secondary schools across Britain.
The step, a major shift in policy for one of the world's most energetically promoted companies, follows adecision last month to remove pictures of products from machines in Scottish schools.
Coca-Cola Enterprises, the distribution arm of the company, said the decision recognised the "conflict"between vending machines in schools and the status of classrooms as "commercial-free" areas.
The company also announced changes to the content of machines in schools, with a greater emphasis ondrinks such as Oasis, Five Alive and Dasani bottled water.
The move comes after concerns have been raised about the effects on children's health, particularly obesity, of
fast food and regular consumption of drinks such as Coca-Cola.
Coca-Cola has 4,000 vending machines (*) in around 1,500 secondary schools in England, Scotland andWales. There are none in primary schools.
The company operates each machine and pays the school a percentage of the takings.
In a programme of changes to machines between now and September, pictures of cans of Coca-Cola or Fantawill be replaced by panels showing children playing in a cartoon scene.
Ian Deste, head of corporate affairs at Coca-Cola Enterprises (GB), said: "We share the view that classroomsshould be a commercial-free area and clearly there is some conflict then with highly visible, highly brandedmachines.
"We hope this move will be seen as us being responsive to the sensitivities in this area." He rejected talk ofvending machines being banned from schools altogether.
"There are three reasons why we are in schools," he said.
"Firstly our products provide refreshment, secondly we provide a valuable revenue stream to the school, andfinally it enables teachers to keep children on the premises who might want to leave to buy the productselsewhere."
Doug McAvoy, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said: "This is a sensible move but wewould like to see the end of advertising unhealthy food and drink to children altogether."
The BBC agreed earlier this month to drop mention of Coca-Cola from its weekly music charts after asponsorship deal was criticised.
The corporation was attacked for plugging the fizzy drinks firm on the Radio 1 chart rundown and BBC1'sTop of the Pops.
Coca-Cola had signed a multi-million pound deal with the Official UK Charts Company to sponsor thesingles and albums lists.

Lesson 5: Franchising
Key Vocabulary

and a percentage of gross receipts. The franchiser usually provides assistance withmerchandising and advertising. Major franchise networks, which have grown rapidly inthe United Kingdom since the 1960s, include fast-food restaurants, petrol stations, cardealerships, and real-estate agencies, and the system has expanded into many other fields.

Lesson 5: Reading
McDonald's
Franchising
When it comes to franchising our approach is unique and starts with a rigorous selectionprocess for potential new franchisees.
We franchise only to individuals and not to partnerships, corporations, absentee investors or
families. And we ask for a level of commitment from our franchisees that equals our own.
Commitment
As our success is intrinsically linked to the success of our franchisees we make acommitment that lasts not only through initial training but right through the 20 year life ofeach franchise agreement.
What this means is that each franchisee is provided with a Franchise consultant who willalways be on hand with advice and practical help. Because we believe that even though aMcDonald's franchise allows you to work for yourself that's no reason why you should ever
be on your own.

And Yours
In addition to a level of financial commitment you will be required to commit your time to
a training programme which takes about twelve months full time or longer if you opt to doit part time.
Training is split between restaurant experience and residential courses at our TrainingCentre covering areas such as team building, customer relations, people skills, businessmanagement, health & safety, hygiene and general first aid.
Now, if twelve months seems a long time, particularly as you will need to fund yourself forthis time, then chances are this is not the franchise for you as our experience has proventhat it takes at least this long to become competent at running a McDonald's restaurant.
The Costs
Depending on the capital you have available you can choose between two financial routes -namely the Conventional Franchise or the Business Facilities Lease (BFL).
Basically if you choose the Conventional Franchise route you can either buy an existingrestaurant or open a new one with a greater financial commitment - 40% as against 25% oftotal purchase price - and higher start up costs attached to the latter.
The BFL on the other hand is available to people who have the right potential but notenough capital and involves using the cash flow of the restaurant to buy the franchise out
within the first three years of trading. Other than that there is a monthly rent and service feeas well as a contribution to the annual marketing spend all of which are based on apercentage of sales.

Franchising Case Studies
You are now going to read two case studies concerning people who decided to buy afranchise. The studies show how the franchise is going and how the franchisees feel. Readand answer the questions below.
-------- ooo O ooo --------
1. Female Franchising Pioneer
Since opening a FASTSIGNS sign and graphics centre in Chelmsford,Essex, in 1996 with Ian Clemson, Jenny Boreham has been successful aswell as a female pioneer in franchising in the United Kingdom.
At the 2004 FASTSIGNS International, Inc. convention held recentlynear Dallas, Texas, the centre received the second highest award forsales in 2003 of any single FASTSIGNS store in the United Kingdom. A few years ago,the centre, which provides a full range of sign and graphic solutions, received a similarinternational award for sales achievement.
Now, as the sole owner of the centre, Jenny is the only single female owner of aFASTSIGNS store in the United Kingdom. She believes that both the FASTSIGNSnetwork and franchising in general are friendly to women.
"The sign and graphics industry is one in which women can compete very effectively, andFASTSIGNS' support for all its franchisees is very comprehensive," said Jenny.
"Signs and graphics are a form of marketing for business, and this is not a gender-specificindustry," she said.
"The Chelmsford FASTSIGNS centre has been one of our most successful stores in theUnited Kingdom, and we look forward to its continued success," said Larry Lane,FASTSIGNS' senior vice president of franchise relations and development. "Jenny excelsin sales, customer service and quality workmanship, which should help ensure futuresuccesses." Until very recently, Jenny also worked with FASTSIGNS International todevelop franchisees in the United Kingdom. Jenny has vacated that role to take on full-timemanagement of her FASTSIGNS centre.
FASTSIGNS International is an international franchisor of sign and graphics centres, andrecently opened its 450th centre worldwide. Centres are located in the United Kingdom, theUnited States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil and in Australia, where they operate under the name,SIGNWAVE.

2. Prontaprint Brighton Rocks
Within Brighton's cosmopolitan buzz and energy, young entrepreneurs John and Angela
Wilkinson run their Prontaprint Franchise with the same dynamism that encapsulates thesouth-coast city.
In just two years at their print-on-demand centre they have moved up over 60 places in theProntaprint rankings, more than doubling its turnover from 120k a year to well past 240k.This business triumph has brought with it all the trappings of success.
"Running a Prontaprint Franchise has radically changed the lifestyle that Angela and I havein a positive way," explains John. "When we first came here I had previously worked as asales consultant and had grown tired of the rat race, helping other people grow theircompanies. We decided that we wanted our own business direction suited to our personal
needs and Franchising seemed the natural way forward.
"Now we have the freedom to run our own business but with the back up and support of awell known brand. Prontaprint is one of the best-known names you can trade under with 93per cent prompted brand recognition according to recent research. That really limits therisks of launching your own start up."
"We did our research and we found Prontaprint to be a dynamic franchise organisationwhich suits people with the ambition and drive to succeed," adds Angela. "Being relativelyyoung, our energy has more than seen us through and Prontaprint has provided us with aproven formula for success. As long as you apply yourself as a Franchisee, the rewards are
definitely there for the taking."
The Prontaprint network offers a vast range of major organisations and blue chip clientswhich its Franchisees can develop print projects for. Names such as British Airways, HushPuppies, Oxfam, Exel Logistics and De Vere Hotels all utilise Prontaprint's business-to-business print solutions for their printed communication.
And its not just Prontaprint's clients that make the brand an attractive proposition forpotential Franchisees. The company also has one of the highest ratios of support staff toFranchisees in the UK Franchising industry - not surprising when you consider

Prontaprint's commitment to quality and the fact that the organisation is a founder memberof the British Franchise Association.
Continues John: "Prontaprint's intensive training courses, sales kits, marketing collateral,handbooks, customer care guides, direct mail and PR support all play a crucial role inpromoting the brand. As Franchisees we also receive comprehensive support in sales &marketing, property matters, financial administration, IT, technical development, personneland business planning. In every case we benefit from one of the best support programmesin the business."
Concludes Angela: "Our business is really moving in the right direction thanks to thesupport we receive and, although the 'know-how' is there from Prontaprint and it's theirname that goes above the door, it's really is up to the Franchisee to make success out of it.That said, there's no doubt that we would recommend a Prontaprint Franchise to anyone
interested in running their own business and making lots of money."
The Prontaprint network is truly forging ahead, recruiting ambitious young entrepreneurswith a strong sales and business background who can carry the business even furtherforward. (Case studies taken from The British Franchise Association official Website -www.british-franchise.org)

You set up a business with 1000. This money (Cash) is known as an Asset (1000). Theproprietor has introduced 1000 Capital.
The two are equal: Assets = Capital
One month later the owner buys a photocopier for 300. The business now has two assets:
Cash 700 + Photocopier 300 =Total: 1000 (Assets)
Capital introduced 1000 =Total: 1000 (Capital)
Six months later the owner decides to borrow 500 from the bank. The asset is increased.However, the company now owes the bank money.
Cash 1200 + Photocopier 300 =Total: 1500 (Assets)
This money owed to the bank is called a Liability:
Capital 1000 + Loan 500 = Total 1500 (Capital + Liabilities)
Therefore the Accounting Equation is:
Assets = Liabilities + Capital
Cost - money that is spent on maintaining a business. This includes wages, equipment, etc.
Expense - is a cost that benefits the company in an accounting period.

Lesson 6: Don't bank on it!
Don't bank on it!
The banking sector has been radically affected by technological change, especiallyautomation, to the extent that the industry is nearly unrecognisable compared to twentyyears ago. People are beginning to ask themselves, "What is a bank?"
The branch
Customers are now far more likely to transact business using a cashpoint machine than
facing a teller across the counter. Speed, efficiency and convenience seem to be the keyfactors in retail banking these days. As competition between banks increases, the ability toprovide new and more flexible products and services distinguishes winners from losers inthe market. Banking by telephone is set to become the norm for most personal clientswithin the next decade; the customer need never enter his or her local branch.
However, there is a price to be paid for these changes. Thousands of jobs have been lost inthe banking sector, and more are likely to go. The image of banking has become tarnished;along with many complaints about impersonal service and computer error, many peopledislike the more obvious sales role of banking staff. So, have banks allowed themselves tobe seduced too quickly by the promise of technology? Or, do we customers expect too
much of our bank these days? Do we need to change our thinking and accustom ourselvesto a different view of what banks can and cannot do?
Globalization
Another issue in banking is the question of globalization. It is not so many years ago thatthe term "global player" was on the lips of bankers in many countries across Europe, aproud boast in the faces of less adventurous provincial rivals. European banks madeexpensive purchases in the United States and elsewhere, some more successful than others.Cultural differences and ill-considered strategies have since shown that there is more to theprocess than simply putting a logo on a letterhead. While it is certainly true that banks need
to follow their customers and to be present in emerging markets, some have felt that theywould prefer to be national banks with an international presence, rather than trulymultinational institutions.
So where does banking go from here? The industry is changing so rapidly that it wouldneed a brave man to answer that question with any degree of confidence. Two things are,however, certain. Firstly, the information revolution that is taking place in all sectors of theindustry will continue to have far-reaching effects within financial institutions. Secondly, asa result of those changes, a bank of the twenty-first century will bear little resemblance toits historical forebears founded six hundred years ago.

Insurance protects us against the financial consequences ofdamage orloss of our own orother people's property. It also provides financial compensation for accidental injury ordeath. For all types of insurance, the insurance company calculates the level of risk andfixes a premium. The insured person or company agrees to pay the premium. In return, theinsurance company guarantees to pay financial compensation if what is insured againsthappens. The details of each insurance are contained in the insurance policy. This showsthe risks that have been insured against and the levels of compensation that will be paid.When someone wishes to make a claim for compensation he or she completes anapplication form and submits it to the insurance company.

Lesson 7: Reading
Do you really need to be quoted happy?
Every day "peace-of-mind" insurance offers land on doormats across the country. Theutility companies are now at the forefront, blitzing householders with various plans. But arethey worth it? Some offer valuable protection, others are near junk. We found that a typicalfamily could spend more than 7,000 a year on cover if they bought all the offers. Ourguide pinpoints the insurances worth having, and the ones you should simply chuck in thebin
The Guardian, Saturday February 19, 2005
-------- ooo O ooo --------
Home contents insurance
Cost? 135 (Norwich Union - "new for old" cover, includes no claims discount and 60excess). Average contents policy is 151, although shopping around can reduce this to 87,according to the AA. Standard policies cover loss or damage by fire, theft or flooding.
Worth having? You'd be daft to go without, but one in four households doesn't have it. Inparticular, many people who rent don't insure their possessions.

Travel Insurance
Cost? 175 First Direct (worldwide annual family policy).
Worth Having? Not at that price. Much better to go for one of the internet providers -Insurefor.com will offer the same family cover for 75, or a pared down version for 60year.
Pet Insurance
Cost? For a cat, 45 (Saga basic plan) to 142.50 (Petplan - SuperCat). For a dog, Saga'sminimum is 93, while Petplan's Supreme is 343. Prices depend on age, the excess and
levels of cover.
Worth Having? If you seriously dote on your cat then it is worth it. For example, to fix abroken leg on a cat costs 1,000. But those on tight budgets will find the average 50excess policy proves expensive and Moggy is better off staying fit and healthy.
Bicycle insurance
Cost? 50 (for a 500 bike).
Worth Having? Half a million bikes are stolen each year, but unless you own a 2,000bike, avoid a stand alone policy and stick it on your home contents which will add 10-15to the premium.

Car insurance
Cost? 350 (comprehensive cover).
Worth having? The one insurance we are legally obliged to buy, but most of us pay toomuch because we are too lazy to shop around at renewal time. Insurers quote a low firstpremium and hope for an automatic renewal. Most people will save 50-80 by switching.
Sports injury insurance
Cost? 59.40 (Pinnacle child policy) to 312 (B&CE Insurance) according to level ofcover. Offers lump sum for broken bones and weekly payout to cover lost earnings whileoff work.
Worth having? Only if you're self-employed (and it runs out after 3-6mths). Largely awaste of cash for the employed. And why should children need it? An income protectionplan may be better value for the self employed.
Critical illness insurance
Cost? Around 2,800 for a policy paying a one-off lump sum of 150,000 if you contractany one of the insurer's specified illnesses.
Worth having? Can be hideously expensive, and prices vary markedly. Regularly oversold as an add-on when people are taking out a mortgage. Use a broker such aslifesearch.co.uk to find a better quote; for 150,000 cover on a 47-year-old, it said NUcharged 2,436, while BUPA were 2,820 a year.

Wedding insurance
Cost? 100 to 300 (British Insurance Brokers Association). Covers the bridegroombreaking a leg or the marquee burning down.
Worth having? If it's going to be a very fancy do, perhaps it's worth it. But the averagecouple can probably do without this additional cost.
Life insurance
Cost? For a 250,000 policy covering both partners should either die in the next 15 years,the Prudential charges 1,070. Legal & General is cheaper at 869 while Scottish Providentis around average at 1,225.
Worth having? This policy will pay out while the children are still at home. But beforesigning up, the parents should check on life cover provision at their workplace and throughpension plans.
Mobile phone cover
Cost? The Link charges 96 for a typical policy for each contract phone. Pay-as-you-gophones for the children cost 19 to 49 according to the phone's value.
Worth having? Only if you are very careless, keep strictly to the policy conditions and areprepared to be patient in claiming. It is generally cheaper to buy a new phone. And mostcompanies will give a reconditioned phone to contract customers whose phone is lost orstolen.

Garden insurance
Cost? 24.84 (Saga - only available as an add-on to its home insurance). Insures items suchas plants, lawns, rockeries, ponds, pergolas and gazebos for up to 1,000 against a range ofincidents including theft and malicious damage.
Worth having? Cover for outbuildings (sheds, greenhouses etc) is standard with mostbuildings insurance policies, and most home contents policies also offer some cover forpossessions in outbuildings and those in the open, says insurer ensure. So most peopleprobably won't need garden cover.
Dental insurance
Cost? Our family would typically pay 399 at Denplan assuming they were all in topdental health. This is not technically insurance but a form of maintenance contract whichspreads costs monthly. The fees pay for almost all care.
Worth having? Children can normally find free NHS treatment. Adults can avoid suddenbig bills should they need major dental care.
Alien abduction insurance
Cost? Yes, it does exist. A family is covered for life for a one-off 100 premium. Thepayout, assuming you survive the abduction and can claim, is 1m. It's only available frominsurers GRIP.
Worth having? Depends on your view of aliens and whether you believe they will scoophumans up into spaceships and then return them to Earth. So far, no claims have beensuccessful.
