</p>Mary: I think you’ll need an Executive assistant to help

for your headquarters here, but since your business
is no longer just local, I also suggest setting up a
Regional office in the south.
Len: What about personnel there?
Mary: You’ll need the same basic functionality as here, on a reduced d scale. Product Development is only needed at HQ for now. Your regional head can manage all functions there initially, but will probably need an assistant, also. And that’s it!
; [4 v: F4 l7 XLen: Thanks for your advice, Mary. Looks like I’ll need that assistant right away to help me set all this up!
中：
Len Matheson是一家发展迅速的小公司的老板，为了更好地发展自己的企业，他请教商务顾问Mary Carlyle有关公司职能组织结构的建设问题。
Mary: Matheson先生，我已经看了贵公司的报告，看来贵公司业绩很不错。
( q, {) ^- U5 j' t+ yLen: 谢谢，Carlyle小姐，请称呼我Len吧。请问您对我们新的组织机构有什么建议？
Mary: 请称呼我Mary就可以了。首先，从贵公司的运作谈起吧。您应该建立独立的行政、文书、后勤和支持部门。否则，您的职员就会有过多的工作，只能是身兼多职。
Len: 是的，他们已经超负荷工作了，但是这需要增加管理人员，不是吗？
Mary: 是呀，Len,你需要至少任命两个经理来单独负责市场营销部和产品开发部。
Len: 好，Mary。其他的呢？
- @  ~, f7 h% r2 u) D1 xMary: 我认为你需要一个经理助理来帮你处理公司总部的事务，主要是处理你这里的工作，但既然您的业务已经不只是局限于本地，我建议您在南方成立一个地区公司。
+ ]+ y5 B2 R! n- P3 P* `/ N! nLen: 那边的人事如何安排呢？
Mary: 与总部这里的职能基本相同，只是规模小些罢了，地区公司经理负责那里的一切，他可能也需要一个助手，就这些。
Len: 多谢您的建议，Mary。看起来我需要尽快找一个助手来帮我处理这件事。
