Listen to seven people talking about their work and decide which department

Unit 2 Company structure

Speaker 1:

Every six months we produce a report showing how the company is doing. This past week , we've been busy with our accounts preparing the results that will be included in our next report.

Speaker 2:

I'm a member of a team of engineers and we've just finalized the design of our new portable computer. This model will be more powerful and more adaptable than our previous one. We are constantly looking for new ideas and experimenting with new products.

Speaker 3:

Before selling our latest product, our department must decide in which regions it will be the most successful and what types of consumers we want to reach.

Speaker 4:

Communication is a key aspect of my department's work. We answer enquiries made by our customers and are also in contact with the press to inform them of our new products and changes within the company.

Speaker 5:

We've been having problems with the quality of certain electronic parts made in our factories. So several members of a department have got together to talk about ways of improving some of our manufacturing techniques.

Speaker 6:

Our company is going through a difficult period and we have to reduce the number of employees in several departments and to review salaries throughout the organization.

Speaker 7:

In today's changing work environment, computer systems play an essential role in how the company is run. In our department we not only ensure that all systems are working properly but we also design and develop new applications to make it easier for our employees to exchange and share information.
