試題二
亞洲金融危機使很多公司面臨崩潰的邊緣。很多公司被迫改變經營的方式。老一套的態度，即員工聽從指揮，而不能自做主張或獨斷獨行，常常使得員工不能人盡其才。
提高員工生產力的關鍵是通過有效的管理。管理者們必須認識到，讓員工參與解決問題可以鼓舞士氣。決策程式應該下放。未來組織機構的重心將轉向員工參與，而不是權力和控制。
參考譯文：
The Asian economic crisis has put many companies on the edge. Many have been forced to change the way they do business. The old attitude that employees follow instructions and are unable to make decisions or act on their own initiative① leads to underused② people.
The key to increasing employee productivity is through effective management. Managers must recognize that getting employees involved in the solution boost morale③。 The decision making process should be pushed down the ladder. The focus of future organizations will shift to employee involvement， rather than power and control.
