met to discuss how the company might respond to a number of problems that have arisen with Product 2. After a
number of incidents in which Product 2 had failed whilst being used by customers, Chen Products had been presented
with compensation claims from customers injured and inconvenienced by the product failure. It was decided that the
risk committee should meet to discuss the options.
When the discussion of Product 2 began, committee chairman Anne Ricardo reminded her colleagues that, apart from
the compensation claims, Product 2 was a highly profitable product.
Chen’s risk management committee comprised four non-executive directors who each had different backgrounds and
areas of expertise. None of them had direct experience of Chen’s industry or products. It was noted that it was
common for them to disagree among themselves as to how risks should be managed and that in some situations,
each member proposed a quite different strategy to manage a given risk. This was the case when they discussed
which risk management strategy to adopt with regard to Product 2.
Required:
(a) Describe the typical roles of a risk management committee. (6 marks)

"I guess it helps,' she says wryly(表情冷漠地)."You know, you go home and you try on a new mascara, and I guess a male CEO can't do that." She's joking, of course, but there's some truth to what she says.
Glamorous, poised and always impeccably (无瑕疵的) dressed, Jung knows what women want and how to sell it to them.That’s what has made her one of the most successful CEOs----male or female----in recent years.And that’s what placed her at number four in the ranking of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business, an annual survey by “Fortune.” The top on the list is Carly Fiorina, chairman and CEO of Hewlett-Pachard Company, a US computer hardware company.The oldest child of Chinese immigrants, Junggrew up speaking both English and Mandarin Chinese.She received a BA in English literature from Princeton University in 1979.After graduation, Jung joined themanagement trainee program at Bloomingdale’s (a world-renowned department store).She later joined I.Magnin (the premiere retail (零售) house in the US), in San Francisco, becoming senior vice president and general merchandise manager.In 1993 Jung became a consultant (顾问) for Avon, famous for selling beauty products door to door through sales representatives known as “Avon Ladies”.When Jung, now 43, took over Avon in November 1999, the company was in deep trouble.During the greatest economic boom in history, its stock was crumbling (崩溃).As fewer women wanted to go out onto the streets selling Avon products, its sales decreased.But Jung surprised a lot of people.Over the past 20 months she has overhauled (检查) nearly everything about the way Avon does business: How it advertises, manufactures, packages, and even how it sells its products.Most surprising, she has done it not by abandoning the seemingly outdated Avon Lady, but by reviving (使再流行) her.Under Jung, more Avon Ladies are signing up than ever before.6 Since Jung joined Avon, sales have risen by 30 per cent, profits by 40 per cent and the stock price has dramatically improved.And now, Avon is the second largest firm in the US headed by a woman, after Hewlett-Packard.

Today, more than 45 years later, I always check out " It pays to Enrich Your Word Power" first when the Digest comes each month. I am impressed with that idea, word power. Reader's Digest knows the power that words have to move people to entertain, inform. and inspire. The Digest editors know that the big word isn't always the best word. Take just one example, a Quotable Quote from the February 1985 issue: " Time is a playful thing. It slips quickly and drinks the day like a bowl of milk. "
Seventeen words, only two of them more than one syllable, yet how much they convey! That's usually how it is with Reader's Digest. The small and simple can be profound.
As chairman of a foundation to restore the Statue of Liberty, I've been making a lot of speeches lately. I try to keep them fairly short. I use small but vivid words: words like "hope" , "guts", "faith" and "dreams". Those are words that move people and say so much about the spirit of America.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not against using big words, when it is right to do so, but I have also learned that a small word can work a small miracle—if it's the right word, in the right place, at the right time. It's a "secret" that I hope I will never forget.
The passage is mainly about______.
A．one of the many old memories
B．using simple words to express profound ideas
C．Reader's Digest and school speeches
D．how to make effective speeches

was glad to have finally been given the chance to become finance director after several years as a financial
accountant, she also quickly realised that the new appointment would offer her a lot of challenges. In the first board
meeting, she realised that not only was she the only woman but she was also the youngest by many years.
Rosh was established almost 100 years ago. Members of the Rosh family have occupied senior board positions since
the outset and even after the company’s flotation 20 years ago a member of the Rosh family has either been executive
chairman or chief executive. The current longstanding chairman, Timothy Rosh, has already prepared his slightly
younger brother, Geoffrey (also a longstanding member of the board) to succeed him in two years’ time when he plans
to retire. The Rosh family, who still own 40% of the shares, consider it their right to occupy the most senior positions
in the company so have never been very active in external recruitment. They only appointed Mary because they felt
they needed a qualified accountant on the board to deal with changes in international financial reporting standards.
Several former executive members have been recruited as non-executives immediately after they retired from full-time
service. A recent death, however, has reduced the number of non-executive directors to two. These sit alongside an
executive board of seven that, apart from Mary, have all been in post for over ten years.
Mary noted that board meetings very rarely contain any significant discussion of strategy and never involve any debate
or disagreement. When she asked why this was, she was told that the directors had all known each other for so long
that they knew how each other thought. All of the other directors came from similar backgrounds, she was told, and
had worked for the company for so long that they all knew what was ‘best’ for the company in any given situation.
Mary observed that notes on strategy were not presented at board meetings and she asked Timothy Rosh whether the
existing board was fully equipped to formulate strategy in the changing world of retailing. She did not receive a reply.
Required:
(a) Explain ‘agency’ in the context of corporate governance and criticise the governance arrangements of Rosh
and Company. (12 marks)

At the core of this debate is chairman Gerald Levin, 56, who took over from the late Steve Ross in the early 1990s. On the financial front, Levin is under pressure to raise the stock price and reduce the company's mountainous debt, which will increase to $ 17.3 billion after two new cable deals close. He has promised to sell off some of the property and restructure the company, but investors are waiting impatiently.
The flap over rap is not making life any easier for him. Levin has consistently defended the company's rap music on the grounds of expression. In 1992, when Time Warner was under fire for releasing Ice-T's violent rap song Cop Killer, Levin described rap as a lawful expression of street culture, which deserves an outlet. "The test of any democratic society," he wrote in a Wall Street Journal column, "lies not in how well it can control expression but in whether it gives freedom of thought and expression the widest possible latitude, however disputable or irritating the results may sometimes be. We won't retreat when we face any threats."
Levin would not comment on the debate last week, but there were signs that the chairman was backing off his hard-line stand, at least to some extent. During the discussion of rock singing verses at last month's stockholders' meeting, Levin asserted that "music is not the cause of society's ills" and even cited his son, a teacher in the Bronx, New York, who uses rap to communicate with students. But he talked as well about the "balanced struggle" between creative freedom and social responsibility, and he proclaimed that the company would launch a drive to develop standards for distribution and labeling of potentially objectionable music.
The 15-member Time Warner board is generally supportive of Levin and his corporate strategy. But insiders say some of them have shown their concerns in this matter. "Some of us have known for many, many years that the freedoms under the First Amendment are not totally unlimited," says Luce. "I think it is perhaps the case that some people associated with the company have only recently come to realize this."
An American senator criticized Time Warner for
A．its raising of the corporate stock price.
B．its self-examination of the soul.
C．its neglect of social responsibility.
D．its emphasis on creative freedom.
