the chalets themselves are too far away from the ski lifts. Are there any members of staff I can see to
complain to? If there aren't, then there will be trouble. There are also two people in the chalet next door

There are five speakers spotlighting on topical policies at the conferences. On the agenda, there are also
product launches which are set to be quite controversial. In an already crowded marketplace, there are
several reasons why these launches will be extraordinarily challenging. Interestingly, there are many
business journalists who are coming to listen to the speeches as these conferences are of international
importance. The speeches are expected to last a long time as there are several demonstrations of the

In two supposedly identical orders, one for the UK and one for France, the order for France has less
components. Unsurprisingly, the option of sending goods by air has more customers than sending goods
by sea. Translink specialises in sending goods far away to India, but Australia is further away. Their close
rivals almost match them in price, but Translink's prices are better by a fraction. Seacross and Translink
are both long established companies, but Seacross is older.

One of the company's delivery drivers, Michael Hanson, carrying a large consignment of goods aboard
his van, has had his vehicle stolen. While the driver was at a motorway service station taking his lunch
break, he irresponsibly left the back door open, enabling the quick-fingered thief to steal one of his
crates. The thief took one of the driver's mobile phones from the glove box and a large sum of cash that
he had left in the door pocket. When Michael phones the company to let them know that the delivery will
be delayed, he is transferred to one of the managing director's sons, who is furious.

In the export department, a problem concerning the dispatching of a consignment arises. When the
export manager brings up the dispatch reference number on screen, it keeps blocking the system. As the
junior dispatch manager's probationary period is now over, it falls to her to bring orders up to date. When
the signing of an agreement between two parties takes place, the company binds itself to deliver goods
on time. The dispatch manager sees to it that the company honours this.

Time and time again, your trader colleague has missed the boat on buying and selling treasury bonds.
He has always offered a price deemed unsatisfactory by sellers. His problem has been blatantly obvious:
he has reacted too slowly. Your colleague hasn't been able to grasp how investors can be affected by
market movements. Nevertheless, he has had a lot of contact with colleagues who have been able to
give him sound advice.

To have the contract checked over one last time, the project manager showed it to the company
solicitor. The solicitor contacted his French counterparts to verify that there was no dual interpretation
possible. To protect against all eventualities caused by ambiguous clausal phrasing, the company legal
representative adjusted the wording. She then passed it on to the managing director to obtain his
approval. To bring the directors up-to-date, the managing director sent round a copy of the newly
