business specialising in the design and manufacture of precision engineering products. Its customers are major
industrial customers in the aerospace, automotive and chemical industries, many of which are globally recognised
companies. Lawson prides itself on the long-term relationships it has built up with these high profile customers. The
strength of these relationships is built on Lawson’s worldwide reputation for engineering excellence, which has
tangible recognition in its gaining prestigious international awards for product and process innovation and quality
performance. Lawson Engineering is a company name well known in its chosen international markets. Its reputation
has been enhanced by the awarding of a significant number of worldwide patents for the highly innovative products
it has designed. This in turn reflects the commitment to recruiting highly skilled engineers, facilitating positive staff
development and investing in significant research and development.
Its products command premium prices and are key to the superior performance of its customers’ products. Lawson
Engineering has also established long-term relationships with its main suppliers, particularly those making the exotic
materials built into their advanced products. Such relationships are crucial in research and development projects,
some of which take a number of years to come to fruition. Joe Lawson epitomises the ‘can do’ philosophy of the
company, always willing to take on the complex engineering challenges presented by his demanding customers.
Lawson Engineering now faces problems caused by its own success. Its current location, premises and facilities are
inadequate to allow the continued growth of the company. Joe is faced with the need to fund a new, expensive,
purpose-built facility on a new industrial estate. Although successful against a number of performance criteria, Lawson
Engineering’s performance against traditional financial measures has been relatively modest and unlikely to impress
the financial backers Joe wants to provide the necessary long-term capital.
Joe has become aware of the increasing attention paid to the intangible resources of a firm in a business. He
understands that you, as a strategy consultant, can advise him on the best way to show that his business should be
judged on the complete range of assets it possesses.
Required:
(a) Using models where appropriate, provide Joe with a resource analysis showing why the company’s intangible
resources and related capabilities should be taken into account when assessing Lawson Engineering’s case
for financial support. (12 marks)

Clearly, intelligence encompasses more than a score on a test. Just what does it means to be smart? How much of intelligence can be specified, and how much can we learn about it from neurology, genetics, computer science and other fields?
The defining term of intelligence in humans still seems to be the IQ score, even though IQ tests are not given as often as they used to be. The test comes primarily in two forms: the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale and the Wechsler Intelligence Scales (both come in adult and children's version)。 Generally costing several hundred dollars, they are usually given only by psychologists, although variations of them populate bookstores and the World Wide Web. Superhigh scores like vos Savant’s are no longer possible, because scoring is now based on a statistical population distribution among age pecks, rather tan simply dividing the mental are by the chronological age and multiplying by 100. Other standardized tests, such as the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) and the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), capture the main aspects of IQ tests.
Such standardized tests may not assess all the important elements necessary to succeed in school and in life, argues Robert J. Sternberg. In his article “How Intelligent Is Intelligence Testing?”。 Sternberg notes that traditional tests best assess analytical and verbal skills but fail to measure creativity and practical knowledge, components also critical to problem solving and life success. Moreover, IQ tests do not necessarily predict so well once populations or situations change. Research has found that IQ predicted leadership sills when the tests were given under low-stress conditions, but under high-stress conditions. IQ was negatively correlated with leadership-that is it predicted the opposite. Anyone who bas toiled through SAT will testify that test-taking skill also matters, whether it‘s knowing when to guess or what questions of skip.
第26题:Which of the following may be required in an intelligence test?
A.Answering philosophical questions.
B.Folding or cutting paper into different shapes.
C.Telling the differences between certain concepts.
D.Choosing words or graphs similar to the given ones.

In Copernicus'time people still believed that all things—the sun, the stars, and the planets moved around the earth. It was an old belief that few men had ever questioned. Aristotle had based his theory of astronomy on this belief. Because the Church had long been the center of learning, the theory was also linked to religious beliefs.
In 1506 Copernicus returned to his homeland. A few years later he began to work for the Church. All those years Copernicus carried on his work in astronomy. He had just the most basic equipment and, like other scientists of his day, made observations with only his eyes. Still, using mathematics and logic, Copernicus worked out a different theory, which held that the planets went around the sun.
Copernicus did not announce his ideas. He did not want to make trouble. But he could not hide the scientific truth. So he talked about his theory with his friends, who strongly advised him to have his work published. His great book, on the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies, appeared at the very end of his life. Copernicus saw the first copy on the day he died, May 24, 1543.
Which of the following is true about Copernicus?
A.He had two brothers and a sister.
B.He used to be called Niklas Koppernigk.
C.He lost his father soon after he was born.
D.He spent 10 years at the University of Cracow.

Amitai Etzioni is not surprised by the latest headings about scheming corporate crooks(骗子). As a visiting professor at the Harvard Business School in 1989 ,he ended his work there disgusted with his students' overwhelming lust for money. "They're taught that profit is all that matters," he says. "Many schools don't even offer ethics (伦理学) courses at all."
Etzioni expressed his frustration about the interests of his graduate students. "By and large. I clearly had not found a way to help classes full of MBAS see that there is more to life than money, power, fame and self-interest," he wrote at the time. Today he still takes the blame for not educating these "business-leaders-to-he". "I really feel like I failed them, "he says. "If I was a better teacher maybe I could have reached them."
Etzioni was a respected ethics expert when he arrived at Harvard. He hoped his work at the university would give him insight into how questions of morality could he applied to places where serf-interest flourished. What he found wash't encouraging. Those would-be executives had, says Etzioni, little interest in concepts of ethics and morality in the boardroom--and their professor was met with blank stares when he urged his students to see business in new and different ways.
Etzioni sees the experience at Harvard as an eye-opening one and says there's much about business schools that he'd like to change. "A lot of the faculty teaching business tire bad news themselves. "Etzioni says. From offering classes that teach students how to legally manipulate contracts, to reinforcing the notion of profit over community interests, Etzioni has seen a lot that's left him shaking his head. And because of what he's seen taught in business schools, he's not surprised by the latest rash of corporate scandals. "In many ways things have got a lot worse at business schools. I suspect. "says Etzioni.
Etzioni is still teaching the sociology of right and wrong and still calling for ethical business leadership. "People with poor motives will always exist," he says. "Sometimes environments constrain those people and sometimes environments give those people opportunity. "Etzioni says the booming economy of the last decade enabled those individuals with poor motives to get rich before getting in trouble. His hope now: that the cries for reform. will provide more fertile soil for his longstanding messages about business ethics.
What impressed Amitai Etzioni most about Harvard MBA students?
A.Their keen interest in business courses.
B.Their intense desire for money.
C.Their tactics for making profits.
D.Their potential to become business leaders.
