Section
C
Directions
: There are two passages in
this section. Each passage is followed by
some
questions or unfinished statements. For each of
them there are four choices
marked A, B, C,
and D. You should decide on the best choice. This
section totals
20 points, two points for each
question.
Questions 41 to 50 are based on the
following passage.
1 Ivester, a factory
foreman’s son and former accountant, stepped in
smoothly to run Coca-Cola as CEO following the
death of champion wealth
creator Roberto
Goizueta. Early in his job as Coke’s chief,
Goizueta had
recognized Ivester’s drive,
commenting that he was the hardest-working
第2页
(共12页)
man he had ever met.
Together the two changed the company’s
operations and capital structure to maximize
shareholder value.
2 Both of Ivester’s parents
were factory workers from a tiny mill town in
Georgia. His parents were children of the
depression, he recalls, ‘strong
savers, very
strong religious values,’ and had very high
expectations for their
only son. If he got an
A, his father would say, ‘They give A pluses,
don’t
they?’
3 Dough Ivester is the guy
who for nearly two years worked constantly to
provide essential support to Roberto Goizueta
as he not only turned
Coca-Cola around but
made it into a powerhouse. If you want to know
just
how driven Ivester is, know that more
than a decade ago he set himself the
goal of
becoming the CEO and chairman of Coca-Cola. Then
he put on
paper the dates by which he intended
to do that.
4 By comparison with Goizueta,
Ivester is an accountant by training, an introvert
by nature. He worked systematically to obtain
the breadth needed to be a
modern chief
executive – getting media coaching and spending
three
year’s worth of Saturdays, six hours at
a time, being tutored in marketing.
5 He is
big on discipline, which to him means: be where
you’re supposed to
be. Dress the part (he is
opposed to casual Fridays). Return phone calls
promptly (employees know never to get too far
away from their office voic,
even on
weekends). Still, when directing his troops, he
asks them to set
‘aspirations’ (difficult
targets).
6 Hierarchy is out – it slows
everything down; he communicates freely with
people at all levels. The ‘conventional’ desk
job is also out. Ivester prefers
that
employees think of themselves as knowledge workers
– their office is the
information they carry
around with them, supported by technology that
allows them to work anywhere. This really
matters when your business is as
large as
Coke’s, which gets 80% of its profit from
overseas.
7 At Coke, business planning is no
longer an annual ritual but a continual
discussion – sometimes via voic – among top
executives. Technology is not
just nice; it’s
crucial. Huge volumes of information don’t
frighten Ivester; he
insists that they are
necessary for ‘real time’ decision-making. With
past-generation executives, their style was
more ‘don’t bring me your
problems, bring me
your solutions,’ says Tim Haas, Senior Vice
President and
Head of Latin America. ‘Dough
thrives on finding the solutions.’ ‘In a world
this complicated and fast-moving, a CEO can’t
afford to sit in the executive
suite and
guess,’ Ivester says. He believes that many of
America’s
第2页 (共12页)
executives ‘are getting terribly isolated.’
