13 customer focus

Mktg

an organizational orientation toward satisfying the needs of potential and actual customers. Customer focus is considered to be one of the keys to business success. Achieving customer focus involves ensuring that the whole organization, and not just frontline service staff, puts its customers first. All activities, from the planning of a new product to its production, marketing, and after-sales care, should be built around the customer. Every department and every employee should share the same customer-focused vision. This can be aided by practicing good customer relationship management and maintaining a customer relations program.

14 customer relations

Mktg

the approach of an organization to winning and retaining customers. The most critical activity of any organization wishing to stay in business is its approach to dealing with its customers. Putting customers at the center of all activities is seen by many as an integral part of quality, pricing, and product differentiation. On one level, customer relations means keeping customers fully informed, turning complaints into opportunities, and genuinely listening to customers. On another level, being a customer-focused organization means ensuring that all activities relating to trading—for example, planning, design, production, marketing, and after-sales of a product or service—are built around the customer, and that every department and individual employee understands and shares the same vision. Only then can a company deliver continuous customer satisfaction and experience good customer relations.

15 Foreign policy

   The guiding principle of Portuguese foreign policy since the founding of the monarchy in the 12th century has been the maintenance of Portugal's status first as an independent kingdom and, later, as a sovereign nation-state. For the first 800 years of its existence, Portuguese foreign policy and diplomacy sought to maintain the independence of the Portuguese monarchy, especially in relationship to the larger and more powerful Spanish monarchy. During this period, the Anglo- Portuguese Alliance, which began with a treaty of commerce and friendship signed between the kings of Portugal and England in 1386 (the Treaty of Windsor) and continued with the Methuen Treaty in 1703, sought to use England ( Great Britain after 1707) as a counterweight to its landward neighbor, Spain.

   As three invasions of Portugal by Napoleon's armies during the first decade of the 19th century proved, however, Spain was not the only threat to Portugal's independence and security. Portugal's ally, Britain, provided a counterweight also to a threatening France on more than one occasion between 1790 and 1830. During the 19th century, Portugal's foreign policy became largely subordinate to that of her oldest ally, Britain, and standard Portuguese histories describe Portugal's situation as that of a "protectorate" of Britain. In two key aspects during this time of international weakness and internal turmoil, Portugal's foreign policy was under great pressure from her ally, world power Britain: responses to European conflicts and to the situation of Portugal's scattered, largely impoverished overseas empire. Portugal's efforts to retain massive, resource-rich Brazil in her empire failed by 1822, when Brazil declared its independence. Britain's policy of favoring greater trade and commerce opportunities in an autonomous Brazil was at odds with Portugal's desperate efforts to hold Brazil.

   Following the loss of Brazil and a renewed interest in empire in tropical Africa, Portugal sought to regain a more independent initiative in her foreign policy and, especially after 1875, overseas imperial questions dominated foreign policy concerns. From this juncture, through the first Republic (1910-26) and during the Estado Novo, a primary purpose of Portuguese foreign policy was to maintain Portuguese India, Macau, and its colonies in Africa: Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea- Bissau. Under the direction of the dictator, Antônio de Oliveira Salazar, further efforts were made to reclaim a measure of independence of foreign policy, despite the tradition of British dominance. Salazar recognized the importance of an Atlantic orientation of the country's foreign policy. As Herbert Pell, U.S. Ambassador to Portugal (1937-41), observed in a June 1939 report to the U.S. Department of State, Portugal's leaders understood that Portugal must side with "that nation which dominates the Atlantic."

   During the 1930s, greater efforts were made in Lisbon in economic, financial, and foreign policy initiatives to assert a greater measure of flexibility in her dependence on ally Britain. German economic interests made inroads in an economy whose infrastructure in transportation, communication, and commerce had long been dominated by British commerce and investors. Portugal's foreign policy during World War II was challenged as both Allied and Axis powers tested the viability of Portugal's official policy of neutrality, qualified by a customary bow to the Anglo-Portuguese Alliance. Antônio de Oliveira Salazar, who served as minister of foreign affairs, as well as prime minister, during 1936-45, sought to sell his version of neutrality to both sides in the war and to do so in a way that would benefit Portugal's still weak economy and finance. Portugal's status as a neutral was keenly tested in several cases, including Portugal's agreeing to lease military bases to Britain and the United States in the Azores Islands and in the wolfram (tungsten ore) question. Portugal's foreign policy experienced severe pressures from the Allies in both cases, and Salazar made it clear to his British and American counterparts that Portugal sought to claim the right to make independent choices in policy, despite Portugal's military and economic weakness. In tense diplomatic negotiations with the Allies over Portugal's wolfram exports to Germany as of 1944, Salazar grew disheartened and briefly considered resigning over the wolfram question. Foreign policy pressure on this question diminished quickly on 6 June 1944, as Salazar decreed that wolfram mining, sales, and exports to both sides would cease for the remainder of the war. After the United States joined the Allies in the war and pursued an Atlantic strategy, Portugal discovered that her relationship with the dominant ally in the emerging United Nations was changing and that the U.S. would replace Britain as the key Atlantic ally during succeeding decades. Beginning in 1943-44, and continuing to 1949, when Portugal became, with the United States, a founding member of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Luso-American relations assumed center stage in her foreign policy.

   During the Cold War, Portuguese foreign policy was aligned with that of the United States and its allies in Western Europe. After the Revolution of 25 April 1974, the focus of Portuguese foreign policy shifted away from defending and maintaining the African colonies toward integration with Europe. Since Portugal became a member of the European Economic Community in 1986, and this evolved into the European Union (EU), all Portuguese governments have sought to align Portugal's foreign policy with that of the EU in general and to be more independent of the United States. Since 1986, Portugal's bilateral commercial and diplomatic relations with Britain, France, and Spain have strengthened, especially those with Spain, which are more open and mutually beneficial than at any other time in history.

   Within the EU, Portugal has sought to play a role in the promotion of democracy and human rights, while maintaining its security ties to NATO. Currently, a Portuguese politician, José Manuel Durão Barroso, is president of the Commission of the EU, and Portugal has held the six-month rotating presidency of the EU three times, in 1992, 2000, and 2007.

17 Priestman, William Dent

SUBJECT AREA: Steam and internal combustion engines

[br]

b. 23 August 1847 Sutton, Hull, England

d. 7 September 1936 Hull, England

[br]

English oil engine pioneer.

[br]

William was the second son and one of eleven children of Samuel Priestman, who had moved to Hull after retiring as a corn miller in Kirkstall, Leeds, and who in retirement had become a director of the North Eastern Railway Company. The family were strict Quakers, so William was sent to the Quaker School in Bootham, York. He left school at the age of 17 to start an engineering apprenticeship at the Humber Iron Works, but this company failed so the apprenticeship was continued with the North Eastern Railway, Gateshead. In 1869 he joined the hydraulics department of Sir William Armstrong \& Company, Newcastle upon Tyne, but after a year there his father financed him in business at a small, run down works, the Holderness Foundry, Hull. He was soon joined by his brother, Samuel, their main business being the manufacture of dredging equipment (grabs), cranes and winches. In the late 1870s William became interested in internal combustion engines. He took a sublicence to manufacture petrol engines to the patents of Eugène Etève of Paris from the British licensees, Moll and Dando. These engines operated in a similar manner to the non-compression gas engines of Lenoir. Failure to make the two-stroke version of this engine work satisfactorily forced him to pay royalties to Crossley Bros, the British licensees of the Otto four-stroke patents.

Fear of the dangers of petrol as a fuel, reflected by the associated very high insurance premiums, led William to experiment with the use of lamp oil as an engine fuel. His first of many patents was for a vaporizer. This was in 1885, well before Ackroyd Stuart. What distinguished the Priestman engine was the provision of an air pump which pressurized the fuel tank, outlets at the top and bottom of which led to a fuel atomizer injecting continuously into a vaporizing chamber heated by the exhaust gases. A spring-loaded inlet valve connected the chamber to the atmosphere, with the inlet valve proper between the chamber and the working cylinder being camoperated. A plug valve in the fuel line and a butterfly valve at the inlet to the chamber were operated, via a linkage, by the speed governor; this is believed to be the first use of this method of control. It was found that vaporization was only partly achieved, the higher fractions of the fuel condensing on the cylinder walls. A virtue was made of this as it provided vital lubrication. A starting system had to be provided, this comprising a lamp for preheating the vaporizing chamber and a hand pump for pressurizing the fuel tank.

Engines of 2–10 hp (1.5–7.5 kW) were exhibited to the press in 1886; of these, a vertical engine was installed in a tram car and one of the horizontals in a motor dray. In 1888, engines were shown publicly at the Royal Agricultural Show, while in 1890 two-cylinder vertical marine engines were introduced in sizes from 2 to 10 hp (1.5–7.5 kW), and later double-acting ones up to some 60 hp (45 kW). First, clutch and gearbox reversing was used, but reversing propellers were fitted later (Priestman patent of 1892). In the same year a factory was established in Philadelphia, USA, where engines in the range 5–20 hp (3.7–15 kW) were made. Construction was radically different from that of the previous ones, the bosses of the twin flywheels acting as crank discs with the main bearings on the outside.

On independent test in 1892, a Priestman engine achieved a full-load brake thermal efficiency of some 14 per cent, a very creditable figure for a compression ratio limited to under 3:1 by detonation problems. However, efficiency at low loads fell off seriously owing to the throttle governing, and the engines were heavy, complex and expensive compared with the competition.

Decline in sales of dredging equipment and bad debts forced the firm into insolvency in 1895 and receivers took over. A new company was formed, the brothers being excluded. However, they were able to attend board meetings, but to exert no influence. Engine activities ceased in about 1904 after over 1,000 engines had been made. It is probable that the Quaker ethics of the brothers were out of place in a business that was becoming increasingly cut-throat. William spent the rest of his long life serving others.

18 leverage

•• Leverage 1. action or power of a lever. 2. power, influence (Oxford American Dictionary).

•• Это слово часто встречается в текстах на финансово-экономические темы и в политической публицистике. В первом случае, к сожалению, нет русского эквивалента, ясно и сжато передающего смысл соответствующего понятия. Специалисты поэтому используют заимствование – левередж или ливередж (британское произношение; Webster's Third New International Dictionary дает оба варианта произношения этого слова как равноправные). Приведу определение из оксфордского словаря A Dictionary of Finance: 1. Соотношение между основным и заемным капиталом (британский синоним – capital gearing). 2. Использование компанией собственных ограниченных активов для гарантии значительных займов, которые она берет, чтобы финансировать свою деятельность. На мой взгляд, проще всего говорить об использовании заемных средств. В политической периодике это слово употребляется в общепонятном, но отсутствующем в наших словарях значении рычаги (возможности) влияния или просто возможности: Washington began working through intermediaries, and Mrs. Albright stayed conspicuously absent from the Middle East to preserve her leverage (New York Times). – ...г-жа Олбрайт подчеркнуто воздерживалась от поездок на Ближний Восток, чтобы сохранить свои рычаги влияния.
•• * В «Моем несистематическом словаре» это слово рассматривается только как существительное. Между тем в последнее время оно все чаще употребляется как глагол, обычно в значении воспользоваться. Надо сказать, что существующие словари отражают, как правило, лишь значение этого глагола, используемое в бизнесе. Например, Cambridge Dictionary of American English: to use ( borrowed money) for investments, esp. in order to buy a large enough part of a business so that you can control it. Куда проще (грубее, пожалуй) определение в словаре Encarta: borrow money hoping to make more. В American Heritage Dictionary есть не относящееся к бизнесу, но не очень часто встречающееся значение: to improve or enhance:
•• “It makes more sense to be able to leverage what we [public radio stations] do in a more effective way to our listeners.” (Delano Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle, December 20, 1997)
•• Вот характерный пример употребления глагола to leverage:
•• On Tuesday, shortly after the Baghdad explosion, State Department officials began working on language for a U.N. resolution that would show respect for the victims of the bombing and the good works they were doing. The resolution would stress the need for more foreign contributions and improved security if the reconstruction mission advanced by the United Nations is to succeed. “Let’s leverage yesterday’s horrific events to emphasize our renewed commitment and what we really need to do,” said one State Department official, who said the central goal is to persuade reluctant countries such as India and Pakistan to provide peacekeeping troops. (Washington Post)
•• Впрочем, «что американцу хорошо, то французу (и не только ему) не очень»:
•• A French diplomat described the prospective U.S. move last night as a “ cynical” attempt to “ take advantage” of the suffering of U.N. staff members. One council official said that if the resolution simply asks for money and troops but delivers no significant sharing of authority in Iraq, the measure “will be unacceptable.”
•• Конечно, to take advantage тоже означает воспользоваться. Но поскольку оба слова употреблены в одной и той же статье по одному и тому же поводу, надо, чтобы читатель перевода «почувствовал разницу». Может быть, в первом случае (Let’s leverage yesterday’s horrific events – правду сказать, не очень удачно сказано) стоит чуть-чуть «подправить» говорящего:
•• Давайте отреагируем на ужасные события вчерашнего дня, еще раз подчеркнув нашу решимость сделать то, что необходимо.
•• А во втором случае приемлем вариант воспользоваться и даже сыграть на горе сотрудников ООН.
•• По менее грустному поводу – цитата из Philadelphia Inquirer:
•• They tapped nostalgia for the bygone Frog and Commissary restaurants. They leveraged sentiment by targeting preordered sales for Valentine’s Day.
•• To leverage sentiment – сыграть на чувствах клиентов (предложив им заранее заказать подарки к Дню Св. Валентина).
•• Еще один пример – c сайта www.pentagon.mil/news:
•• “They leveraged the complementary capabilities of two different arms of military forces,” Leaf said.
•• Здесь: умело использовали дополняющие друг друга возможности.
