Question 2 (6 pts)
I. Reading
A
Businesses are not currently obliged to provide a workplace pension scheme, but the 2008 Pensions
Act requires employers to have a qualifying pension arrangement in place from 2012. Employers will
be obliged to automatically enroll jobholders onto the scheme and make a minimum contribution to the
arrangement. Providing a workplace pension scheme has a number of benefits. There is income tax
relief available on both the employer‟s and employees‟ contributions, and where the employer is a
corporation, corporation tax is also available.
B
Of the different work pension plans available, the stakeholder scheme has the minimum standards.
Under this scheme, the money contributed is used to buy investments, and the investor must be
prepared to lose out if these investments do badly. The benefit of this scheme is that it is flexible in
that if employees change jobs, they can continue to make contributions to the scheme, although any
payments the employer makes will cease. Employees can also make irregular or low payments with
no penalties.
C
If a business has more than five employees over the age of eighteen who earn more than the lower
earnings limit, and offers no other pension arrangement, it must offer its employees access to a
stakeholder pension. If the company has four employees and takes on a fifth, all employees must be
given access to a plan within three months of the fifth employee‟s recruitment.
D
The company need not make any contributions, but must offer its employees a payroll deduction
facility. If the employer does contribute, a condition can be set up that the employee also contributes.
Employers must keep a record of any payments they make, but beyond this, the scheme requires no
administration, as this is done by the provider. The costs for this are deducted from the fund. Annual
charges are low, capped at one percent of funds.
E
Stakeholder pensions are available from a number of banks and other financial service providers, and it
pays to shop around. Find a reputable pension provider which is registered by the Pensions Regulator.
Although a well-established firm is preferable, past performance is not a reliable indicator of future
returns. Also make sure that your pension all your employees can join the scheme as some limit
membership to people working in certain trades.
A. Match each phrase taken from the text with an appropriate explanation. There are two extra
explanations that you do not need
1. stakeholder a. stop to do something
2. cease b. all of the people involved
3. access c. the manifestation of something
4. indicator d. the opportunity to have something
5. well-established e. having respected position because of being
successful for a long time
B. Mark these statements T (true) or F (false) according to the information in the text
6. In future, it will be necessary for employers to pay into their employees‟ pensions.
7. Employers only need to keep maximum paperwork for the stakeholder scheme.
8. A pension from a well-known establishment may not deliver significant services.
9. Employees in some occupations may not be eligible for some types of pension.
10. Both large and small businesses can get rebates from paying into employees‟ pension funds.

Question 2 (6 pts)
I. Reading

A The forces that operate to bring about change in organisations can be thought of as winds which are
many and varied - from small summer breezes that merely disturb a few papers, to mighty howling
gales which cause devastation to structures and operations, causing consequent reorientation of
purpose and rebuilding. Sometimes, however, the winds die down to give periods of relative calm,
periods of relative organisational stability. Such a period was the agricultural age, which Goodman
(1995) maintains prevailed in Europe and western societies as a whole until the early 1700s. During
this period, wealth was created in the context of an agriculturally based society influenced mainly by
local markets (both customer and labour) and factors outside people‟s control, such as the weather.
During this time, people could fairly well predict the cycle of activities required to maintain life, even
if that life might be at little more than subsistence level.
B To maintain the meteorological metaphor, stronger winds of change blew to bring in the Industrial
Revolution and the industrial age. Again, according to Goodman, this lasted for a long time, until
around 1945. It was characterised by a series of inventions and innovations that reduced the number of
people needed to work the land and, in turn, provided the means of production of hitherto rarely
obtainable goods; for organisations, supplying these in ever increasing numbers became the aim. To a
large extent, demand and supply were predictable, enabling companies to structure their organisations
along what Burns and Stalker (1966) described as mechanistic lines, that is as systems of strict
hierarchical structures and firm means of control.
C This situation prevailed for some time, with demand still coming mainly from the domestic market
and organisations striving to fill the „supply gap‟. Thus the most disturbing environmental influence on
organisations of this time was the demand for products, which outstripped supply. The saying
attributed to Henry Ford that „You can have any colour of car so long as it is black‟, gives a flavour of
the supply-led state of the market. Apart from any technical difficulties of producing different colours
of car, Ford did not have to worry about customers‟ colour preferences: he could sell all that he made.
Organisations of this period can be regarded as „task-oriented‟, with effort being put into increasing
production through more effective and efficient production processes.
D As time passed, this favourable period for organisations began to decline. In the neo-industrial age,
people became more discriminating in the goods and services they wished to buy and, as technological
advancements brought about increased productivity, supply overtook demand. Companies began,
increasingly, to look abroad for additional markets.

A. Match these terms with their definitions

1. outstrip a. strict sets of ideas of companies‟ ways of organization
2. mechanistic lines b. to become larger than something
c. the main aim is to complete the job given
3. supply gap
d. the products or services which are not available on the market
4. task-oriented‟
e. able to judge the good quality of something
5. discriminating

B. Mark these statements T (true) or F (false) according to the information in the text
6. It is generally agreed that changes are taking place more quickly now, and that organisations are
being transformed.
7. One leading economist suggested that by 2020, up to a quarter of employees would be temporary
and half of all employees would be based in the home.
8. To a large extent, demand and supply were predictable, enabling companies to structure their
organisations
9. The most favorite environmental influence on organizations of this time was the demand for
products, which outstripped supply.
10. People became less discerning in the goods and services they wished to buy and, as technological
advancements brought about increased productivity, supply overtook demand.
