A、TRUE B、FALSE A

Good morning!
    Um. .. As Managing Director of our company I’ve been asked to say a few words to you today about the way the company is organized. So what I’ve done is to make a sort of table... you know... to show how it is all arranged. It’s in your books. Can you find it?
    OK. Now, not all companies are organized in the same way, of course. They all have more or less the same bits and pieces, but they put them together in different ways. In fact, some Managing Directors are always changing the organization, which can be very disturbing for everybody else and sometimes causes awful hold-ups. Sometimes it’s necessary, of course, like when you start making something different or join up with another company or something. Anyway, I think the organization of my company is fairly typical, so let’s take a look at how we have organized it.
    At the top of the scheme, above me, is the Board of Directors. Their job is to administrate the company, make general policies, and so on. There are two kinds of directors, actually. One kind is what we call non-executive directors, which means that they are not full-time employees. They are the sort of people who have some standing in various parts of the business world and are in a position to help the company to succeed. They only appear when there are meetings of the Board, and some of them are on the boards of other companies at the same time. But the second lot of directors—the executive directors—are full-time employees of the company. Most of them are managers of our various departments, and you’ll be meeting them later.
    The absolute head of the company, of course, is the Chairman of the Board. He is appointed by the Board, and his job is to take the chair at meetings of the shareholders and the Board of Directors, and to represent the company’s interests at outside functions. He does not take much part in the running of the business. He leaves me to get on with the job. Mind you, not all chairmen are like that. Our last one was a real pain, always wanted everything done his own way and he kept on interfering... but anyway, that’s what the top slot in the scheme is for.
    Then there’s me, the Managing Director, or MD for short—as long as you don’t think I’m a doctor of medicine, ha ha. . . Um. . . Now, my job is to coordinate the policies decided by the directors and see that they are carried out. I do this through the various managers of departments—departmental managers. At the moment I’ve got six, and there arc slots for them along the line underneath me in your scheme. I don’t think they are in any particular order, so we’ll start from the left and walk across. Actually, they’re all going to come and tell you about their jobs. So I’ll just say a few words. And. . .Right. The first one is. . .
