34、h and securities.TTTTFF*收购HomepageAudioscript Businesses are structured to meet different needs.One basic difference involves who is responsible for the business.Another involves how long the organization can stay in business.The simplest form of business is called an individual proprietorship.The w

35、ord proprietor es from French and Latin words for property owner.The proprietor owns all the property of the business and is responsible for it.The law recognizes no difference between the owner and the business.Most small businesses in the United States are individual proprietorships.Another kind o

36、f business is the partnership.Two or more people go into business together.An agreement is usually needed to state how much of the partnership each person controls.They can end the partnership at any time.But partnerships and individual proprietorships have a limited life.They exist only as long as

37、the owners are alive.Some states permit what are called limited liability partnerships.These have full partners and limited partners.Limited partner s may not share as much in the profits.But their responsibilities to the organization are also limited.The most plex is the corporation.This kind of bu

38、siness organization is designed to have an unlimited lifetime.Investors in a corporation own stock.This is a share of the ownership.Investors can trade their shares or keep them as long as the company is in business.Investors may get paid dividends,a small amount of money for each share they own.A b

39、oard of directors controls the corporate policies.The directors appoint top company officers.The directors might or might not hold any shares in the corporation.Not all corporations are traditional businesses that sell stock.The American Red Cross,for example,is organized as a non-profit corporation

40、.AudioscriptJeff Greenfield:Thank you.Ok look,its not all that unusual to dream up a business idea while youre in college.You know,you book the bands for the parties,you deliver pizzas to the dorm.Ok,dreaming up a new multi-billion dollar industry from the ground up,this is a little less usual.But i

41、t is something both of our guests acplished even if not everyone realized it at the time.When Fred Smith wrote a term paper outlining his idea for an overnight delivery service,his teacher gave him a C minus.He off and went on to create Federal Express.Well be talking about that and other matters wi

42、th Fred Smith,the Chairman,President and CEO of FedEx Corporation,a little later in the program.But first Michael Dell,who dropped out of college after a year to start the business,he still heads.As Chairman and CEO of Dell Computer,Michael Dell happens to be the longest tenured CEO in the entire co

43、mputer industry.Hes also the man solely responsible for creating the direct-to-consumer model that sparked the whole build-to-order revolution.Michael Dells aim is to eliminate the middle man,a home-grown philosophy that carries over into his hands-on management style.Before we get into the specific

44、 conversations,I want to know something because the two of you have a relationship that customers-like.Could you exist without a company like Fred Smiths to supply your stuff?Could it work if you didnt have a just-in-time delivery system to get you your parts for your computers?Michael Dell:In our c

45、ase,no.I mean,you know,we couldnt exist without FedEx,and I dont think FedEx could exist without our distributing.We are sort of mutually co-dependent here.Frederick Smith:Thats absolutely right.Michael understands that his efficiency with his customers depends on delivering exactly as hes told his

46、customers that hes going to deliver plus his production is just in time,so all those parts and pieces from all over the world gotta to e together at the same time.Now he may have to for his own reasons use brand X,but clearly the best choice is FedEx.Greenfield:Now you go out,youre making a big push

47、 into the ground delivery business as well.Right?Smith:Sure.Greenfield:Michael,what would you want from him as a CEO and founder of Dell,to make it more tempting for you?Dell:Well,its pretty straight forward.I mean,you know,you gotta be competitive,youve got to deliver on the things that are importa

48、nt to us.which means the quality of service,the breadth of the network,the.you know,unique services that we need.For example,we have a lot of things going on with airlift out of Asia,coming in the US,and their network is particularly well suited for this.And of course,they gotta be cost-competitive.

49、You put all that together and thats the sort of discussion we have,theres not a lot of real science to it,I mean.its pretty basic nuts and bolts.Heres what we need,you know,and here we need to stay competitive.Greenfield:Do you have a shot?Smith:No,Ill tell you Ive been listening to the whole lot of

50、 it,and usually Im doing everything he wants us to do.I can tell you that much.AudioscriptGreenfield:Let me turn now to the first theme we want to talk about,and that is this build-to-order revolution.Does it change everything?Dell:You know,I think first of all,you gotta look at the supply chain.Bas
