Dr. Pauley, could you tell me something about the separations of the
company organization in the United States?



甲：波利博士，能介绍一下美国公司组织机构划分情况吗？



It is
，
first of all, the division, then the department, and finally the
section. That is, a department manager heads each department within
the division, and sub-separations within the department are usually
called sections.



乙：首先是部，然后是处，最后是科。就是说，每 个部下属的各个处都由一
位经理领导
;
各个处下属的分支通常称为科。



Then what is the section head called?



甲：那么科里的头儿怎么称呼？



Sometimes we just use section head
，
but we usually prefer section
manager. Like many companies in other countries, the allocation of
responsibility goes from the section manager to the department
manager then to the division manager.



乙：
有时候我们称科长，
但我们通常喜欢称经理。
与其他国家大多 数公司一
样
,
责任的分工是从科经理到处经理，再到部经理。



So it
，
s the general manager at the top supervising everything?



甲：那么，总经理是最高层，监管全局了？



You can say that.



乙：可以这样说。



What is your responsibility then?



甲：那么您的职责是什么？



As you know, I head the Personnel Department. I act as a
spokesperson for the department in all our senior management
discussion, as well as in policymaking meetings. Pm also responsible for
coordinating the work of the personnel team. So, in brief, representing
the Personnel Department and coordinating its activities are my two
functions.



乙：
你知道，
我是人事处经理，
代表人事处在高层管理部门的讨论和决策中
发言。我也负责协调人事队伍的 工作。简言之，代表人事处并对其活动进



行协调是我的两项职能。



Are there any section managers reporting to you?



甲：有下级科经理由您负责吗？



Yes, four managers. Firstly, there’s our Recruitment and Selection
Manager, who is responsible for maintaining contact within the company
in order to look for manpower according to our needs. Next we have the
Compensation and Benefits Manager. He handles the company’s
employee benefits program, primarily health insurance and pension
plans. Th
en we have the T
raining and Developing Manager, who’s in
charge of skill training and management development. And finally,
there’s our Employee Relations Manager. He deals with the relationship
between management and employees and advises us on all aspects of
union - management relations. Is that clear?



乙：是的，有 四位经理。首先，是招聘和选拔科的经理，负责维系公司内部
联系，
并根据需要物色人力。接下来，
我们有薪酬及福利科经理，
负责处理公司
雇员的福利计划，
主要 包括健康保险和养老金计划。
然后，
我们有培训及开发科
经理，
负责技术培训 和管理业务的开发。
最后是我们的雇员关系科的经理，
负责
处理管理部门和雇员之间的 关系，
并对劳资关的各方面问题提出建议。
全部清楚

A
：

What is your understanding of the organizational structure of a
company?



您对一家公司的组织结构是如何理解的呢？



B
：

I think the organizational structure describes the company’s
formal framework or system of communication and authority. Just as
humans have skeletons that define their shapes, companies have
structures that define theirs.



我认为组织结构指的是公司 内部信息交流和行使职权的一个正式框架体系。
就像人体由骨骼确定了体型一样
,
公司 由它的结构决定其形式。



A
：

As far as organization is concerned, what should managers do?



就组织方面而言
,
管理者应该做些什么呢？



B
：

Managers must design an organization structure that is able to
accomplish company goals and objectives effectively and efficiently.
Designing an appropriate structure means that managers must decide
how to coordinate work activities and efforts both vertically and
horizontally.



管理者必须设计一个能高效地实现公司组织和目标的组织结构。
设计一个 恰
当的组织结构，
意味着管理者必须决定如何能使工作在纵向和横向两方面都能协
调好 。



A
：

Could you explain it more specifically?



您能再具体地解释一下吗？



B
：

For example, most companies have three distinguishable levels
of management
：
top or executive, middle, and supervisory or first-line.
The more division of labor there is in a company, the more vertical levels
in the hierarchy, and the more geographically scattered the company’s
units, the more difficult it is to coordinate people and their activities.



比如说，
公司通常设置 三个有区别的管理层次，
即高层或决策层、
中层、
基
层管理或一线。一个公司 内劳动分工越细
,
纵向的等级层次就越多，单



位的地理分布越广，人员活动的协调就越困难。



A
：

Could the organizational structure of a company be easily
changed?



一家公司的组织结构可以轻易改变吗？



B
：

No, because a company’s organizational structure is made up of
relatively stable and permanent characteristics
，
therefore
，
it is very
resistant to change.



不能，公司的组织结构是由相对稳定持久的因素组成的，因此它很难变革。



A
：

Do you think creativity is important?



您认为创造力重要吗？



B
：

Very important, that’s for sure. An innovative company is
characterized by the ability to turn its creativity into useful outcomes
，
and a company that stimulates creativity develops new ways to do the
work or unique solutions to problems.



非常 重要
,
这一点是毋庸置疑的。一个有创新能力的公司其特色就是将创造
力转化为实用的 成果。
而且，
能激发创造力的公司能以新的方法来完成任务，
以
独特的方式来 解决问题。



A
：

What is your opinion of the rules and regulations of a company?



那么您对一家公司的规章条例又持何看法呢？



B
：

Generally speaking, the more rules and regulations there are in a
company, the more formalized the company is



一般来说，一家公司的规章条例越多，它的正规化程度就越高。



A

Great to talk with you.
