Keep new technology secret.
Travail à faire par le candidat
Role play :
You work as an assistant operator at Heartgraves Ltd, a British haulage company located in Manchester. Your boss, Mrs Shortsight, 55, started working in this company as a driver when she was 18. Her staff appreciates her dynamism although she can be too rigid sometimes.
Yesterday Mr Brown, the young fleet supervisor, had a heated discussion with the boss. He declared it was high time for Heartgraves Ltd to modernize its operations methods in order to remain competitive. When he suggested using some computerized systems, Mrs Shortsight replied that she was suspicious about new technology and the firm had no cash to investin such systems.
Then Mr Brown declared he would look for a job in a more forward-looking company and left Mrs Shortsight’s office.
Early this morning, Mrs Shortsight asked you to collect information about new technology and to find some suggestions for suitable solutions liable to improve operations methods in a haulage company.
Of course you must keep your task secret and never tell Mr Brown what you have
been asked to do.
You spent two hours on the internet and finally selected two potential suppliers
(see Document ONE and document TWO) .
Now you are about to have a face to face conversation with Mrs Shortsight to present her the results of your search.
The scene takes place in Mrs Shortsight’s office.
The teacher plays Mrs Shortsight’s role.
You play the assistant.
ENCLOSURES: DOCUMENTS ONE and TWO- Advertisements for tracking systems.
