3. Reading for information: in a very near future we'll have to decide on the suitability of two candidates for one top managing position. I recommend you read the article below for an expert decision:

Beginning of Unit 2.
At this point, let me suggest a couple of activities you can do:
1. Check the vocabulary list connected with Company Structure, Organisation and Performance. It must have been posted in early or mid November. Is the list complete? Do you miss any word or expression?
Feel free to send ("comments") any words or expression not in the list, I will put them back in place.
2. See this job appointment:
BE2_Appointment.pdf

See how you can improve it! A real challenge!
