spotted an opportunity for a new type of gift packaging. This uses a new process to make waterproof cardboard and
then shapes and cuts the card in such a way to produce a container or vase for holding cut flowers. The containers
can be stored flat and in bulk and then simply squeezed to create the flowerpot into which flowers and water are then
put. The potential market for the product is huge. In the UK hospitals alone there are 200,000 bunches of flowers
bought each year for patients. David’s innovative product does away with the need for hospitals to provide and store
glass vases. The paper vases are simple, safe and hygienic. He has also identified two other potential markets; firstly,
the market for fresh flowers supplied by florists and secondly, the corporate gift market where clients such as car
dealers present a new owner with an expensive bunch of flowers when the customer takes delivery of a new car. The
vase can be printed using a customer’s design and logo and creates an opportunity for real differentiation and impact
at sales conferences and other high profile PR events.
David anticipates a rapid growth in Gift Designs as its products become known and appreciated. The key question is
how quickly the company should grow and the types of funding needed to support its growth and development. The
initial financial demands of the business have been quite modest but David has estimated that the business needs
£500K to support its development over the next two years and is uncertain as to the types of funding best suited to
a new business as it looks to grow rapidly. He understands that business risk and financial risk is not the same thing
and is looking for advice on how he should organise the funding of the business. He is also aware of the need to avoid
reliance on friends and family for funding and to broaden the financial support for the business. Clearly the funding
required would also be affected by the activities David decides to carry out himself and those activities better provided
by external suppliers.
Required:
(a) Provide David with a short report on the key issues he should take into account when developing a strategy
for funding Gift Designs’ growth and development. (10 marks)

A、Nauru is so small that the plane lands in what is best described as the capital's main street. To stop cars when planes are landing the seaward side of the runway has traffic lights at each end. Well-fed and brightly clothed Naurans cowd the tiny air terminal with their smart cars. The only hotel, the luxurious Menen, is a 10-minute drive half way round the island and is where new arrivals are driven off in Japanese minibuses. The well-paved road passes rows of neat, modern houses, set among the trees.

David Graddol , a language researcher and lecturer at the Open University in Britain , said that , on the one hand , English is becoming a language of everyday usage in some countries in Northern Europe. "Something like 70%
of the Dutch population claim now that they can hold a conversation in English quite comfortably ," Mr. Graddol said. "For them , it is not a textbook-based foreign exercise. They are already exposed to English in the environment. People have learned a little bit of it before they get to school , and they can see immediately that it has some use in their lives. In countries like the Netherlands , Sweden or Denmark you need English to complete your education. "
"In other countries , however , English is more truly a foreign language ," said Mr. Graddol , whose consulting firm , The English Council produced a worldwide report titled "The Future of English" for the British Council a few years ago. "In some countries , like China , there is not very much English in the environment and people may be learning it from teachers who may not speak English very well themselves."
In a third group of countries , like India and Nigeria where English has been used a long time , distinct local varieties of the language are emerging , complete with their own
dictionaries , textbooks and literature.
"English is so important in these countries that people use it in part to create their own social and even national identity ," Mr. Craddol said. "When that happens , the language starts going its own way. The variety of English that proficient speakers in such countries are learning may not be terribly useful in an international context. "
"Thus , the very reason for the rise of English - its guarantee of mutual intelligibility among people of different cultures - could dissolve if the language continues to split up into a variety of ‘ Englishes’."
21. 30 % of the Dutch population claim they can communicate in English very freely. ()
22. People in the Netherlands , Sweden or Denmark use English to complete their education. ()
23. According to the English Council , in some countries like China there is not very much English in the environment and English is more truly a foreign language. ()
24. In countries where distinct local varieties of English are emerging like India , people no longer use their native language. ()
25. According to the speaker , English is so popular in some European countries that it has started going its own way because people use it in part to create their own social and even national identity. ()

According to a report from the technology website Venture Beat, PayPal CEO David Marcus wrote a critical letter to his employees blaming them for not using PayPal products and encouraging them to leave if they didn't have the passion to use the products they work for.
According to the website, part of the leaked letter reads:
“It's been brought to my attention that when testing paying with mobile at Cafe 17 last week, some of you refused to install the PayPal app, and others didn't even remember their PayPal passwords. That's unacceptable to me, and the rest of my team, everyone at PayPal should use our products where available. That's the only way we can make them better, and better.”
“In closing, if you are one of the folks who refused to install the PayPal app or if you can't remember your PayPal password, do yourself a favor, go and find something that will connect with your heart and mind elsewhere.”
While not obvious at first, the letter reveals a problem of morale and culture at PayPal. As an executive, you certainly want your employees to use and promote your products. However, when faced with a situation where staff isn't embracing what they make, you need to investigate the root of the problem -- not threaten.
When faced with internal problems, good executives start by asking “why”. They reach out to their executive team first and then to the entire staff to find the root of a problem and how to fix it. Sending out a one-sided note about the problem is not leading, it's retreating.
Leadership starts by listening. Good executives need to get out among the staff and ask questions and listen without judgment or reaction. The fact that company employees are not embracing and using its products is a failure of leadership that Marcus needs to address by self-reflection. At the end of the day, if his employees have to be forced to use the app, how can he expect consumers to want
1. A CEO only needs to be passionate and enthusiastic.
2. It is not professional that PayPal CEO blames his employees for not using PayPal or forgetting PayPal passwords.
3. “A one-sided note” refers to the root of PayPal's problem.
4. When faced with internal problems, good executives find the root of a problem in their executive team first.
5. Good executives need to give feedback immediately when they are listening to the staff.
