Unit 4 Text A Joint-Stock Company Vocabulary
I. Read the text and translate it into Russian: There are two steps to be taken before starting your business: · you must first choose its legal form · and then legally incorporate it Choosing the legal structure of the business is the crucial step in the decisions you will have to make. Your choice will affect daily operations of the business, the taxes to be paid and the degree of liability of the entrepreneur and of any partners he may have. It is important to choose the legal form that will enable your business to develop, while taking into consideration the activities to be taken on. Your notary, lawyer or accountant can help you make the right choice. The most popular form of business is a joint-stock company, also called a company or corporation, a joint-stock company is a ‘legal person’. This means that the company itself has rights and powers separate and different from those of the natural or legal persons who compose it and are its shareholders. A joint-stock company has its own assets and incurs its own debts. The liability of the shareholders is limited to their investment. Once you set up a joint-stock company, you need to prepare its Memorandum of association, which must contain the following clauses:
The company’s name (Clause 1) A company is only a legal person but, like a human being, it must have a name….. The final words of the name – generally. A private company whether limited by shares or guarantee, must end its name with the word ‘limited’. A public company must end its name with the words ‘public limited company’. The short forms – ‘Ltd’ and ‘plc’ – are allowed. These words or their short forms, must not appear elsewhere in the name.
Registered office (Clause 2) There is only a statement that the registered office is situated in England. The actual address is not given but, as we have seen, it is filed with the Registrar when applying for registration. The actual address can be changed by an ordinary resolution of the members. This requires a 51 per cent majority.
Objects (Clause 3) Generally
This clause lists the things which the company can do. If it enters into a transaction which is not included in the clause, that transaction will at common law be ultra vires (that is, beyond its powers) and void (that is, of no effect).
Limitation of liability (Clause 4) This clause simply states that the liability of the membership is limited.
Capital (Clause 5) This clause must state the amount of the company’s authorized capital and its division into fixed nominal value.
Association clause Finally, there is an association clause which states that the subscribers wish to be formed into a company and that they agree to take the shares opposite their names.
Articles of Association The second major document, governing the company is the articles of association. The articles together with memorandum when registered are a contract which binds the company and its members as if signed and sealed by each member. It contains the shareholders’ rights and the amount of shares; regulations and procedures on general meeting and the list of the directors and their rights and duties. There are also stated different questions related to the regulation of the company.
Insolvency problems If a joint-stock company goes bankrupt and can not pay out its debts, then either the shareholders or the creditors are entitled to sell it out. But first of all a liquidation committee is formed to regulate the process of winding up. In case of a voluntary liquidation the commission is appointed by the shareholders of the general meeting, but if the winding-up is compulsory then a court, in majority cases an arbitration must appoint this committee to solve the problem.

Text B Organization structure Vocabulary
I. Read and translate this text: Most organizations have a hierarchical or pyramidal structure, with one person or a group of people at the top, and increasing number of people below them at each successful level. There is a clear line or chain of command running down the pyramid. All people in the organization know what decisions they are able to make, who their superior (or boss) is (to whom they report), and to whom they can give instructions. Some people in an organization have colleagues who help them: for example, there might be an Assistant to the Marketing Manager. Today, most large marketing organizations have a functional structure, including (among others) production, finance, marketing, sales and personnel or staff departments. This means, for example, that the production and marketing departments cannot take financial decisions without consulting the finance department. Functional organization is efficient, but there are two standard criticisms. Firstly, people are usually more concerned with the success of their department than that of the company, so there are permanent battles between, for example, finance and marketing, or marketing or production, which have incompatible goals. Secondly, separating functions is unlikely to encourage innovation. Yet for a large organization manufacturing a range of products, having a single production department is generally inefficient. Consequently, most large companies are decentralized. Each division has its own engineering, production and sales departments, made a different category of car (but with some overlap, to encourage internal competition), and was expected to make a profit. Businesses that cannot be divided into autonomous divisions with their own markets can simulate decentralization, setting up divisions that deal with each other using internally determined transfer prices. Many banks, for example, have established commercial, corporate, private banking, international and investment divisions. An inherent problem of hierarchies is that people at lower levels are unable to make important decisions, but have to pass on responsibility to their boss. One solution to this is matrix management, in which people report to more than one superior. For example, a product manager with an idea might be able to deal directly with managers responsible for a certain market segment and for a geographical region, as well as the managers responsible for the traditional functions of finance, sales and production. This is one way of keeping authority at lower levels, but it is not necessarily a very efficient one. Some people insist on the necessity of pushing authority and autonomy down the line, but argue that one element – probably the product – must have priority; four dimensional matrices are far too complex. A further possibility is to have wholly autonomous, temporary groups or teams that are responsible for an entire project, and are split up as soon as it is successfully completed.Teams are not often very good for decision-making, and they run the risk of relational problems, unless they are small and have a lot of self-discipline. In fact they still require a definite leader, on whom their success probably depends.
