Societies differ in how they structure marriage relationships. Four patterns are found: monogamy, one husband and one wife are found; polygyny, one husband and two or more wives; polyandry, two or more husbands and one wife; and group marriage, two or more husbands and two or more wives. Although monogamy exists in all societies, Murdock discovered that other forms may be not only allowed but preferred. Of 238 societies in this sample, only about one-fifth were strictly monogamous.
Polygyny has been widely practiced throughout the world. The Old Testament reports that both King David and King Solomon had several wives. In his cross-cultural sample of 238 societies, Murdock found that 193 of them permitted husbands to take several wives. In one-third of these polygynous societies, however, less than one-fifth of the married men had more than one wife. Usually it is only the rich men in a society who can afford to support more than one family.
In contrast with polygyny, polyandry is rare among the world's societies. And in practice, polyandry has not usually allowed freedom of mate selection for women; it has often meant simply that younger brothers have sexual access to the wife of an older brother. Thus where a father is unable to afford wives for each of his sons, he may secure a wife for only his oldest son.

years his fee income was in excess of £100K a year and he had nearly 100 clients most of whom had been gained
through word of mouth. David recognised that these small or micro businesses, typically employing ten or fewer
people, were receiving less than satisfactory service from their current accountants. These accounting firms typically
had between five and ten partners and operated regionally and not nationally. Evidence of poor service included
limited access to their particular accountant, poor response time to clients’ enquiries and failure to identify
opportunities to save clients money. In addition bad advice, lack of interest in business development opportunities for
the client and poor internal communication between the partners and their staff contributed to client dissatisfaction.
David has deliberately kept the costs of the business down by employing three part-time accountants and relying on
his wife to run the office.
David had recently met Ian King who ran a similar sized accounting firm. The personal chemistry between the two
and complementary skills led to a partnership being proposed. Gould and King Associates, subject to securing the
necessary funding, is to be launched in September 2006. David is to focus on the business development side of the
partnership and Ian on the core services provided. Indicative of their creative thinking is David’s conviction that
accounting services are promoted very inadequately with little attempt to communicate with clients using the Internet.
He is also convinced that there are real opportunities for the partnership to move into new areas such as providing
accountancy services for property developers, both at home and abroad. Ian feels that the partnership should set up
its own subsidiary in India, enjoying the benefits of much cheaper accountancy staff and avoiding the costs and
complications of outsourcing their core accounting services. Ian sees fee income growing to £2 million in five years’
time.
David has been asked by his bank to provide it with a business plan setting out how the partnership intends to grow
and develop.
Required:
(a) Write a short report for David giving the key features that you consider to be important and that you would
expect to see in the business plan for the Gould and King partnership that David has to present to his bank.

第10题
he fits in well, especially with his colleagues and has learnt a lot from them. However, he feels that the rules and
regulations governing everyday activities and time keeping are not clear.
Oliver does not get on well with his line manager, David Morgan. There appears to be a clash of personalities and
reluctance on David Morgan’s part to deal with the icy atmosphere between them after David was asked by one of
the accounting partners to give Oliver a job. For the past three months Oliver has gone to lunch with his fellow workers
and always returned to work with them or before them. In fact they all have returned to work about ten minutes late
on several previous occasions. After the third time, Oliver was called into David Morgan’s office and given an oral
warning about his time keeping.
Oliver was not permitted to argue his case and none of the other staff who returned late were disciplined in this way.
On the next occasion the group was late returning from lunch, David Morgan presented Oliver with a written warning
about his time keeping.
Yesterday, Oliver was five minutes late returning to work. His colleagues returned after him. David Morgan gave Oliver
notice and told him to work until the end of the week and then collect his salary, the necessary paperwork and to
leave the practice.
There is a partner responsible for human resources. Oliver has come to see the partner to discuss the grievance
procedures against David Morgan for his treatment and about what Oliver regards as unfair dismissal.
Required:
(a) Describe the six stages of a formal disciplinary procedure that an organisation such as Hoopers and
Henderson should have in place. (12 marks)
