  • 31. What general problem does the lecturer identify with some green workplace practices?
  • 32. Why was the finance-company database task unsuited to full-team work?
  • 33. Why did the magazine launch fail?
  • 34. What is the lecturer's criticism of badly targeted hot-desking?

(A) is correct. The lecturer says such practices are often lifted from consultancy reports without enough thought about the reality of day-to-day work.

(B) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: They are usually rejected by senior managers.

(C) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: They normally cost more than companies expect.

Associated Text:
they're often introduced as theoretical concepts, lifted straight out of consultancy reports, with very little thought about the reality of day to day work.

(A) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: It required specialist design software.

(B) is correct. Other teams collaborating on the database task produced duplicated uploads under different names.

(C) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: It needed confidential approval from directors.

Associated Text:
The other teams in the same building tried to collaborate on the same exercise and descended into duplication, with the same files being uploaded by three or four different people under different names.

(A) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: The physical edition was too expensive to print.

(B) is correct. The publisher produced a print magazine but marketed it only online, satisfying neither target group.

(C) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: Older readers refused to buy new magazines.

Associated Text:
they brought out a glossy print magazine but only marketed it through the website. The result was that it met the needs of neither group.

(A) is correct. The lecturer says poorly targeted flexible working wastes the resource companies value most: time.

(B) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: It increases printing costs.

(C) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: It makes teams too settled.

Associated Text:
flexible working is valuable, but only when properly targeted, otherwise it wastes the resource that companies value most: time.
