美国泽维尔大学吉娜教授来我校讲学
11月13日上午9点,美国泽维尔大学蒙特梭利教育培训中心主任吉娜教授应邀在我校学术报告厅作了题为《蒙特梭利教育——一场新对话》的专题报告。教育科学学院院长陈国维、国际交流与合作处副处长陈新及我院学前教育专业部分师生到场聆听了报告。
吉娜教授从幼儿、教师和环境三个蒙氏教育的基本要素介绍了蒙特梭利教育的基本理念,其中最主要的是顺应孩子自身的发展、创设适宜的环境和激发孩子的创造性,让孩子通过自己的探索来了解周围的世界——环境、教具、教师、幼儿之间的互动构成一个完整的教学体系。吉娜教授强调教师的作用最主要的不是教给孩子固定的知识,而是为幼儿创设一个宽松、自由发展的环境。蒙氏教育中的环境是一个奇异的空间,每一间蒙氏教室对于任何一个孩子来说,就像是一块性能优越的磁铁,充满了无限的吸引力。她指出,教师必须注意为儿童设置一个适当的世界和一个适当的环境。
随后,参会师生就蒙氏教育的相关问题与吉娜教授进行了互动交流,吉娜教授认真地解答了大家的疑惑,现场气氛活跃,我院师生受益匪浅。
最后,陈国维院长对吉娜教授的精彩报告作了总结点评,并给予了高度评价。他指出,吉娜教授生动、幽默、精彩的报告,使我们充分感受到了西方国家关于蒙特梭利教育的无限魅力,从源头上理解了蒙特梭利教育的理念。希望学前教育专业的全体师生,关注蒙特梭利教育,在实践教学中以幼儿发展为本,未来做一名合格的幼儿教师。

第四篇:意莉维尔企业大学管理培训班董事长致辞
意莉维尔企业大学管理培训班董事长致辞
各位意莉维尔的家人们: 大家好!
今天,天朗气清、惠风和畅。意莉维尔企业大学可谓少长咸集、群贤毕至。
我谨代表意莉维尔企业大学,感谢为本次管理培训班的开课做出贡献的工作人员;并向各位在繁忙的工作中抽时间参加培训的各位家人表示热烈的欢迎。
意莉维尔大家庭和我本人都对这次的培训都寄予厚望,诸位无论是来自总部、门店还是工厂,都是意莉维尔精挑细选,表现出类拔萃的人才。希望你们通过这次系统培训,能够成长为更加出色的精英,为意莉维尔的发展做出贡献。
十几年来,意莉维尔不断寻求优秀人才,建设意莉维尔“家人文化”,才能从一家蛋糕门店发展到销售额超一个亿的食品有限公司;才能从员工只有个位数的门店发展成今天拥有500多位员工的食品连锁品牌。意莉维尔的愿景是成为一家华人喜爱,社会尊重的幸福企业。在目前市场竞争日趋激烈的形势下,要想继续保持竞争优势和市场的扩张能力,我们必须加强队伍的基础建设,我们的管理人员也就必须能挑起队伍建设重担。
十九世纪初,烘焙技术传到了中国。最初制品品种简单,产量低,生产周期长。改革开放前,中国连面包的生产都不普及,只集中在大中城市。改革开放后,中国烘焙行业突飞猛进,现已遍及城乡各地,品种繁多,花色各异。产品质量不断提高,生产设备日益更新,新的原材料层出不穷。
烘焙食品行业在中国已基本形成了以独资、合资、国有、民营和其他业务系统兼具的格局。随着中国经济的进一步发展,消费者对烘焙食品需求日益呈现出高品位化,高质量化,这给烘焙企业未来发展提出了更高的要求。
以前,大街小巷少有烘培店,人们购买蛋糕的金额少,品种也不多。但近几年,烘培店如雨后春笋般在各大中小城市出现。有数据显示,中国内地平均15万人消费一家烘焙店,同等条件下,中国人均数据远不如香港、韩国、日本等地区,烘焙业的潜力不容忽视。
数据统计显示,2008年至今,国内的烘焙食品行业销售收入年均增长都在30%左右,速度惊人。从区域来看,烘焙食品在三、四线城市以及农村市场的渗透正在加剧,面包等烘焙食品逐渐成为我国居民的早餐主食之一。从年龄层来看,消费群体在扩大,从小孩到老年人都有覆盖。据统计,2017年我国烘焙食品行业销售收入超过4600亿元。
中国烘焙食品行业特点是企业众多但规模普遍较小。但中国巨大的人口,蕴含着非常强的烘焙食品消费潜力。垂涎于国内巨大的烘焙市场,诸多外来烘焙连锁品牌已在国内纷纷布局、生根发芽、争城掠地。韩国巴黎贝甜、新加坡面包新语、台湾元祖、85度C等品牌相继进入国内市场,并凭借全新的经营理念和产品设计轰动一时。国际烘焙食品店进入国内市场,使得国内企业得到了很好的发展参照系,迅速拉近了与国际品牌差距,为中国烘焙业迎来了升级转型的契机。
我国的烘焙食品与世界其他国家比,还有相当大的差距。不管是加工技术、成品质量,还是生产规模、花色品种方面,还有大量工作要做。尤其是我国的烘焙食品还没有发挥在国民经济中应有的作用,还没有对广大人民的饮食生活现代化发生巨大的影响。例如:面包在欧美等世界许多国家都是人民的主食,其工业化、自动化的发展,对减轻广大人民的家务劳动、使饮食方便化、合理化以及节约能源、解放生产力起了巨大的推动作用。欧美等国18世纪的工业革命和二次世界大战后的经济发展,都曾伴随着面包生产工艺的革命性进步。就连祖祖辈辈以大米为主食的日本,面包类的消费也是惊人的。
1955年日本经济恢复初期,当时日本的经济安定本部就作了一个粮食生产计划。在制定计划时,许多专家学者作了这样一个有趣的分析:纵观世界各民族的主食,可分为食米粥民族和食面包民族,而发展中国家都属于前者,发达国家都属于后者。食米粥民族的日本要通过高速经济成长赶上吃面包的先进国家,就要看日本的饮食生活以多大速度向吃面包的民族接近。的确,日本当时的面包发展战略和学校标准面包供给制,对日本经济的起飞和人民体质,特别是青少年体质的改善起了重要的作用。可是我国的面包还多停留在糕点、小吃的消费位置上,因此对广大人民的日常饮食生活影响不大,还远末达到改善人民饮食结构,使我国饮食向工业化、现代化发展的地步。所以说,发展烘焙行业。做一家有责任心烘焙连锁品牌,不仅仅是做企业,也是在做事业,在做一件于国于民都有利的好事。
2006年以来,我国烘焙食品行业零售额持续增长,增长率维持在6%以上,2011年实现15.2%的高增长率,零售规模从 2006年的 596.7亿增长至 2016年的1648.13亿,市场规模整体呈扩大趋势。2016年以后,我国人均烘焙食品消费量超过7kg,相比其他发达国家和地区,美国2016年以后人均消费量超过 27KG/人,日本超过18KG/人。从与美国和日本的横向对比来看,我国烘焙食品人均消费量与其他主要烘焙国家还有较大差距,未来提升空间较大。
中国的烘焙品牌中有外资成熟烘焙品牌、内资跨区域连锁品牌、规模较小但数量巨大的地方烘焙品牌。其中,外资企业拥有良好的品牌形象,产品一般具有一定的溢价,占据了中高端市场。内资跨区域连锁品牌多呈区域性布局,产品在价格上更有优势,且更善于传统渠道的推广,以二三线城市市场为主。不过市场上最为主要的还是个体商贩,占据了75%的市场份额。大量地方品牌及个体商户避开核心城市和核心商圈,以二三线城市为主,快速抢占当地市场。由于受到品牌、资金等因素的限制,个体商户难以形成统一的品牌。截止至2016年,中国规模以上烘焙企业数量超过1400家,到目前为止,没有任何一家企业占有绝对优势的市场份额,整体来看烘焙行业竞争格局较为分散。从烘焙行业市场规模区域分布情况来看,烘焙食品销售主要集中在华东、华中地区,两块区域占比接近70%。从企业分布来看,华东地区烘焙食品企业数量最多,占比达到41.45%。我们公司,赶上了烘焙行业在全国爆发性增长的浪潮,也处在全国烘焙行业竞争最激烈的华东地区。
从2006年以来,公司零售增长率达到XX%,零售规模从XX增长到XX。意莉维尔在2017年品牌零售量占浙西市场的XX%,浙西第一,这是自20XX年以来第X次浙西第一。我们拥有占地63500平方米的现代化花园式中央工厂,内有十万级的现代化标准车间、高标准研发中心、检化验中心。门店遍布衢州地区(巨化、江山、常山、开化、龙游);金华地区(义乌);江西地区(上饶),已成为浙西地区知名品牌。2017年,中国焙烤食品糖制品工业协会授予衢州香特莉食品有限公司“中国月饼行业百强企业”称号;在2017年中国月饼文化节,授予我们“中国名饼”称号。全国工商联烘焙业公会,授予香特莉公司吴庆林“2017行业之力贡献人员”……这是我们的成绩,但工业也面临严峻的形势。
我们面对的,是跨区域的连锁品牌和各地乡土品牌的两面夹击。这是所有达到一定规模的烘焙企业都要面对的一道难关。企业要继续做大做强香特莉品牌,以战胜各地乡土品牌,要推出意诺品牌去抢占高端市场,对抗跨区域连锁品牌。只有抗过了两面夹击的巨大压力,企业才能在市场竞争的狂风巨浪中茁壮成长。
企业要成长,员工要成长,我们的管理层更需要成长。学习则是成长的必由之路。所以才有了我们这次培训学习。我们的管理人员要树立终身学习、系统思考的理念,增强自己的学习能力、实践能力、创新能力和管理能力,提高综合素质。要通过多层次的学习培训,建设一支具有现代经营管理知识,富有开拓创新精神的管理队伍;建设一支爱岗敬业,善于学习,长于创新,拥有强烈团队精神的管理队伍。
我们常说,一个人的格局取决于你对事物的认识和看法,而一个人格局的大小将决定你在工作中能取得成就的大小。每个人都有成功的天分,都有成功的机会,就看你们有没有目标,有没有行动,有没有努力的尝试和大胆的追求,所以大家一定要在这次培训中提高眼界、拓展格局。
虽然大家文化程度不一样,专业知识不一样,岗位安排也不一样,但是,不论是什么岗位,都要有一个认真的学习态度。大家要能坐的住、学的进。这样才能把学习的知识转成工作的能量,为企业的的发展提供动力。培训时间很短,希望各位家人积极地参与到学习中,全面并深入地掌握学习内容,达到全面提升的目的。在培训的过程中要相互交流、相互学习、共同进步。
本次培训过后,首先,我们的管理人员要深入团队,潜心研究,牢固树立团队意识。要认真研究工作环节,工作规律,用所学的知识更好地建设团队,服务团队,做团队发展的推动者,服务者。
其次,要有“制度化管理,人性化操作”的理念。在管理中我们既要坚持原则,又要善于疏导。要强化团队精神。没有团队精神,队伍就失去了生命力。要培养自强精神。没有自强不息、奋斗不止的精神作支撑,是成就不了人才的,遇到困难,决不能退却,更不能消沉。第三,终身学习,坚持实践。只有不停的学习,吸取新知识,不断的提高自身素质才能赶上时代的潮流。在现代商业环境下,所有的一切都将证明“知识就是力量”。大家要集中精力,刻苦学习。当前,正处于全年工作开始阶段,任务重、时间紧。现在公司专门拿出时间,把你们集中起来培训,是下了很大决心的。希望大家珍惜这次学习机会,正确处理工作与学习的关系。我们培训的目的在于提高自身素质、提高业务水平,以便大家更好地开展工作。因此,大家要发扬理论联系实际的学风,紧密联系当前的工作实际,注意思考工作中面临的新形势和新问题,把所学的知识运用到实际工作中去,坚持在学习中提高,在实践中运用,不断提高工作水平,增强管理能力。
第四,我们应该认识到,“市场无限,我可大有作为;公司发展,我需大有作为;人当自强,我应大有作为。”希望大家以只争朝夕的紧迫感,努力进取,在学习中积累知识,在实践中积累经验,为公司的发展奉献自己的力量!我相信,通过这次培训班的学习与训练,你们能够学有所成,在今后的工作岗位上,发挥自己的聪明才智,为公司培育出一支能战斗的队伍,保证公司的持续、稳定、健康、快速发展。
最后,我谨代表意莉维尔大家庭祝愿本次培训取得圆满成功!
谢谢大家!

Economics is a blend of philosophy, history, mathematics, political science, sociology and other disciplines.A student of economics needs to become well-read, analytical, creative, and knowledgeable of major social institutions.Students should develop a good background in logic, algebra, geometry, and statistics.Effective oral and written communication skills are very important, and students should continually refine these by carefully choosing courses.High schools are increasingly offering introductory courses in economics, many containing college-level material.What Careers are Available in Economics? You will find economics majors at the helm of many prominent companies, nonprofit organizations, governments, and universities.For example, Presidents George Bush and Ronald Reagan majored in economics in college.So did Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, columnist William F.Buckley(and Mick Jagger and Arnold Schwarzenegger).For many students economics is the ideal general preparation for careers in law, finance, health care, banking, journalism, education, public administration, and other booming service sectors.Approximately one-fourth of all economists work for private business, one-third work for educational institutions, and the remainder are employed by government.Professional economists are often required to have graduate degrees in economics.The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the median annual earnings of economists in 2002 was $68,550.Employment is expected to grow about as fast as the average for all occupations through 2012.Opportunities for economists should be best in private industry, especially in scientific research and development, and consulting firms, as more companies contract out for economic research services.Rising demand for economists should stem from the growing complexity of the global economy, competition, and increased reliance on quantitative methods for analyzing and forecasting business, sales, and other economic trends.A greater need for economic analyses in virtually every industry could result in additional jobs for economists, although some corporations are eliminating some or all of their economist positions in favor of hiring economic consultants.Employment of economists in the Federal Government should decline, but not by as much as other occupations in the Federal workforce.Average employment growth is expected among economists in State and local government.A master's or Ph.D.degree, coupled with a strong background in economic theory, mathematics, statistics, and econometrics, provides the basis for acquiring any specialty within the economics field.Those skilled in quantitative techniques and their application to economic modeling and forecasting, and who have good communications skills, should have the best job opportunities.Like those in many other disciplines, however, Ph.D.holders are likely to face keen competition for tenured teaching positions in colleges and universities.Bachelor's degree holders may face competition for the limited number of economist positions for which they qualify.They will qualify for a number of other positions, however, in which they can take advantage of their economic knowledge by conducting research, developing surveys, or analyzing data.Many graduates with bachelor's degrees will find jobs in industry and business as management or sales trainees, or as administrative assistants.Bachelor's degree holders with good quantitative skills and a strong background in mathematics, statistics, survey design, and computer science also may be hired by private firms as researchers.Some will find jobs in government.Whether you use your economics training to launch a career or not, the traditional liberal arts education you receive will provide you lifelong intellectual stimulation, give you a sound framework for personal financial decisions, and make you a better citizen.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
