第 1 題：中READING(PART ONE ):
A The dawning era of micromarketing holds great promise for consumer marketers and the U. S. economy. By adding hugely to the overall supply of advertising time and space, the increase of new communications channels can be expected to control ad-ate inflation. Figuring out the right way to send the right message to the right person at the right time is difficult, but important.
B The surprisingly impressive recent results of P&G suggest that targeting might also be a benefit to corporate productivity. In 2003, P&G spent $4.4 billion, or 10.1% of sales, on advertising. In 1998, the last time its spending reached 10%, unit sales volume rose by nearly 4%. Today, P&G unit growth rate is running closer to 9%. "They are spending about the same money and getting three times the lift."
C At the same time, the fading of the age of mass marketing poses a threat to the traditional mass media and their heavily ad-dependent business models: To date, network TV and its mass brothers have held tight to the lion's share of advertising, despite their decreasing audiences. Even as prime-time ratings fell by 41.5% from 1977 to 2003, network TV's advertising revenues rose nearly fivefold, why keep paying more for less? For a marketer looking to build brand awareness or to convey a simple, timely message to a big swath of the country, there is no effective substitute for mass media, particularly TV.
D Mass media's share of advertising is declining now as marketers boost spending on more targetable, narrowcast media. A recent study by a Wall Street firm predicts that the ad revenues of narrowcast media will grow at 13.5% a year from 2003 to 2010, while the mass media putter along at 3.5%—well below the projected 5.7% gain in gross domestic product, By 2010, as it is predicted, marketers will spend more for advertising on cable ($27 billion) and the Internet ($22.5 billion) than on network TV ($19.1 billion) or on magazines ($17.4 billion).
1小題>
Although mass media are losing audiences, they still have the biggest market share of advertising.
2小題>
At present, a business model depending greatly on ads is facing challenge.
3小題>
In the year of 2000, P&G spent less than 10% of sales on advertising.
4小題>
Enterprises have more choices when deciding where to broadcast ads.
5小題>
Nowadays, fewer people sit before televisions and enjoy TV programmes.
6小題>
Targetable channels of ads can be favourable to productivity.
7小題>
It is believed that in the future companies will spend more advertising fees on Internet.

What is Franchising?
Franchising is one of three business strategies a company may use in capturing market share. The others are company owned units or a combination of company owned and franchised units.
Franchising is a business strategy for getting and keeping customers. It is a marketing system for creating an image in the minds of current and future customers about how the company's products and services can help them. (1) .
Franchising is a network of interdependent business relationships that allows a number of people to share: a brand identification, a successful method of doing business, a proven marketing and distribution system. In short, franchising is a strategic alliance between groups of people who have specific relationships and responsbilities with a common goal to dominate markets, i.e., to get and keep more customers than their competitors.
Other franchisees and company operated units are not your competition. (2) .They and you share the task of establishing the brand as the dominant brand in all markets entered and reinforcing the customers' familiarity with and trust in the brand. (3) .
Other franchisees share with you the responsibility for quality, consistency, convenience, and other factors that define your franchise and insure repeat business for everyone. Increasing the value of the brand name is a shared responsibility of the franchisor and franchisee.
A company franchises because it wants to quickly and in great numbers replicate its successful company operations without significantly increasing its debt. (4) .
In franchising, the operating system becomes identified with the brand or trade name that you license as a franchisee. Each franchise system uses precise methods to provide service and satisfy the customers. (5) .Because customers don't like surprises, this consistency in operations, unit to unit, builds customer loyalty to the brand.
Franchising is successful because we are people of habit and are brand-driven when we purchase goods and services. We trust brands that we see everywhere, every day. We tend to be loyal to a product or servicedelivered to us the same way all the time.
A.So in this respect you are working as a team with others in the system.
B.By documenting these practices, the franchisor institutionalises the buying experience.
C.Because it has been successful in teaching its own employees to operate the business, the company believes it can repeat the same success by teaching others to do it.
D.It is a method for distributing products and services that satisfy customer needs
E.With the help of them, franchisors can easily enjoy the convenience brought by franchising.
F.On the contrary, both of you are partners under the same system.
G.The others are company owned units or a combination of company owned and franchised units.
第 3 題：中READING(PART THREE ):
There Are No Products—Only Services
Take a step beyond "total quality" and "customer satisfaction". There's a new view of the relationship between suppliers and customers. The idea, as put by Rosabeth Moss Katner of the Harvard Business School: Think of every product you buy or sell as a service. In other words, look at what it does not what it is.
That way, selling a product becomes only one of your opportunities to do something for your customers. Many companies are now offering additional services, particularly after-sales services, to increase the value of their products. This practice, often referred to as "bundling, "is an effective way to keep in contact with customers. Look at Toyota's Lexus. Thanks to a partnership with IBM, Lexus tracks every car on a national computer—your sedan's complete maintenance history is available to every dealer from Miami to Seattle. Why? Because Lexus doesn't want its relationship with you to end at the showroom door.
At packaging Corp. of America, employees say they offer packaging solutions, not just packaging. Monte Hayman, a CEO, says: "It used to be that we made a product and looked for people to buy it. Then we started doing research to learn what the market wanted, and developed product for that. Today we're working with individual customers."
Then there's unbundling, When you want to offer more products and services, but it isn't within your means to produce them yourself, you might decide to contract out stuff that you would never have let out of your sight before. IBM no longer handles its own warehousing. Two years ago it junked 21 parts warehouses in favour of half-a-dozen outside vendors.
Commodore Business Machines goes further: In November it unbundled virtually all of its after-sales services for consumer products. Its partner is a new division of Federal Express called Business Logistics Services, Fed Ex mans a 24-hour help line for Commodore. If your computer needs to go to the shop, Fed Ex will pick it up the morning after you call, drop off a replacement, and often do the repairs at its Memphis hub. Customers never know they're dealing with Fed Ex employees, except for the delivery man. After a six-month trial, says Jim Reeder, Commodore's vice president for customer satisfaction, his company is offering better service at half the previous cost.
This kind of collaboration is replacing competition in relationships with suppliers. Experts at the Cresap consulting firm call it "supplier integration". It elevates outsourcing from a mere cost-cutting measure to the level of strategy. The new goal is a win-win alliance, where suppliers get the security of a long-term relationship and customers get more say over their upstream processes.
Companies that think of the products,they buy and sell as services can also discover new ways to market existing products. as Xerox did when it redefined its copier machine business as document processing. They study such questions as whether to share a single system to track purchase orders. There is a new slogan: "Suppliers and customers—one system, not two systems.\
