Group as a non-executive director, but is uncertain as to the level and nature of her contribution to the strategic
thinking of the Group.
The Marlow Fashion Group had been set up by a husband and wife team in the 1970s in an economically depressed
part of the UK. They produced a comprehensive range of women’s clothing built round the theme of traditional English
style. and elegance. The Group had the necessary skills to design, manufacture and retail its product range. The
Marlow brand was quickly established and the company built up a loyal network of suppliers, workers in the company
factory and franchised retailers spread around the world. Marlow Fashion Group’s products were able to command
premium prices in the world of fashion. Rodney and Betty Marlow ensured that their commitment to traditional values
created a strong family atmosphere in its network of partners and were reluctant to change this.
Unfortunately, changes in the market for women’s wear presented a major threat to Marlow Fashion. Firstly, women
had become a much more active part of the workforce and demanded smarter, more functional outfits to wear at work.
Marlow Fashion’s emphasis on soft, feminine styles became increasingly dated. Secondly, the tight control exercised
by Betty and Rodney Marlow and their commitment to control of design, manufacturing and retailing left them
vulnerable to competitors who focused on just one of these core activities. Thirdly, there was a reluctance by the
Marlows and their management team to acknowledge that a significant fall in sales and profits were as a result of a
fundamental shift in demand for women’s clothing. Finally, the share price of the company fell dramatically. Betty and
Rodney Marlow retained a significant minority ownership stake, but the company had had a new Chief Executive
Officer every year since 2000.
Required:
(a) Write a short report to Susan Grant identifying and explaining the strategic strengths and weaknesses in the
Marlow Fashion Group. (12 marks)
M: No way! That's awesome!
W: Yeah. She finally made it, and she certainly deserves it. She has been taking gymnastics classes seriously since she was a little girl, like since she was only 5 or 6 years old.
M: Congratulations! She must be one of the best gymnasts in your country.
W: No question about it.
M: I have heard that ancient Greek gymnastics training programs were designed for children too. And the programs were considered to be an integral part of the children's education.
W: I know. The ancient Greek people believed that gymnastics exercises were good for children. The type of exercises would facilitate unity of mind and body, and also harmonize the body's movements.
M: I am not surprised. Are the current gymnastics exercises the same as the ancient forms?
W: No, I don't think so. The ancient gymnastics was modernized in the 1800s. The modem format was developed by German and Czechoslovak educators. They invented gymnastics apparatus to develop self-discipline and strength of the body.
M: No wonder the German and Czechoslovak teams, had dominated the entire event in earlier days at the Olympic Games. Their gymnasts pretty much had swept every single medal at the Olympic competition. When was this sport first introduced to the United States?
W: Gymnastics was not introduced to the U.S. until the early 1830s. And in 1883, the Amateur Athletic Union, also abbreviated as AAU, was established. Since then the Union became very active and took over the control of all gymnastics activities in the U. S.

听力原文: When basketball was invented in 1891 in America, it was intended to be an outdoor game, which could be played during the severe American winters, when the ground was too frozen or snowy for baseball. Nowadays the game is played on specially designed basketball courts all over the world. It is a popular game because it demands speed and skill from its players, and is very exciting to watch. Most American cities have basketball teams. The teams often have names such as the Tigers' which suggest speed and physical power.
Basketball is played by two opposing teams, each of five players, on a rectangular court which is 26 meters long by 14 meters wide. Variations of 2 meters on the length and 1 meter on the width are permitted. The object of the game is to score points by shooting the ball into the opponent's goal. This used to be a wooden basket fixed high on a pole, but nowadays it is a metal hoop (still often referred to as the basket), 45 centimeters in diameter, which is secured horizontally with a net attachment beneath, 3.05 meters above the ground on a vertical board. The height of the hoop means that basketball teams are usually made up of players who are taller than average.
Like all competitive sports, basketball is governed by strict rules. Many of these roles relate to the handling of the ball. Each player tries to tap the ball to a member of his or her own team, who may then bounce, pass or shoot the ball. No player may run holding the ball, but he or she may dribble it by bouncing it on the court, with one hand only, as he or she runs.
When basketball was invented, it was intended to be

听力原文:D: Oh, hello, you must be Tracey's parent?
T: Er, yes. Are you her class teacher, Mrs. Daniels?
D: Yes, that's fight. Now, just let me find my notes. As you know I don't actually teach Tracey, but I do see her every day before classes begin, is there anything you want to ask me?
T: Well, yes. To be honest, we're a bit worried about her last report--she doesn't seem to be doing as well as she was.
D: Well now, let's see. Oh, yes, her math teacher says she's finding the work more difficult now that they're getting near to the exams.
T: I was never good at math.
D: And Dr. Baker feels that Tracey isn't concentrating very hard in biology lessons.
T: Oh, but she really likes biology and she's so good at drawing.
D: Yes, but even in art her teacher thinks she tends to spend too much time talking to her friends. In fact, several of her teachers have told me that she isn't giving in her homework. Mr. Brock has complained to me that he hasn't had a single piece of geography homework from her all term.
T: Yes, we don't know what to do about it. She doesn't seem to be interested in school any more.
D: I don't think we should give up on her. Tracey's a very intelligent girl. In English her marks are well above the average and her teacher says she always has a lot to say in lessons.
T: Yes, that's part of Tracey's trouble. She talks too much.
D: Well, nevertheless oral skills are very important and if we can all guide her back to a more positive attitude to school work, she'll do very well.
T: Well, I hope so. I'm very disappointed in her. She was doing so well, especially in English and French, and now everything seems to be going to pieces. She came bottom of the class in French this term.
D: Well, it's not because she can't do French--she just prefers to that in English! At least she's doing well in sport. She's in the hockey team and you know we haven't lost a single match this year!
T: Well, it's nice to know she does something well.
D: Oh, come on, Mr. Thompson, let's look on the bright side.
