पाठ बनाया जा रहा है...
1
When business leaders develop strategies to tackle problems, they often have to take risks.
2
Nobody can predict the future, but businesses do have to anticipate it and make judgments.
3
The Kraft Heinz Company, based in the U.S., is a major player in the food industry.
4
Over 90 years, Kraft built up a portfolio of well-known food brands, including confectionery, biscuits, snacks, and dairy products.
5
In the first decade of the 21st century, Kraft's performance was poor.
6
Markets lacked confidence in the company's growth prospects.
7
Its profits were disappointing.
8
Kraft's products were less appealing to a new generation of consumers.
9
It was seeing demand for the processed food and drinks
10
that it manufactured from dairy all the way to Oreo biscuits decline and that the profit margin,
11
the amount of money it was making for every unit of sales, had been squeezed almost to the thinness of a piece of paper.
12
This was only the first of Kraft's problems.
13
The second issue that Kraft had to tackle was that it relied too heavily on its home US market.
14
That meant it was missing opportunities in fast-growing emerging markets around the world.
15
The company's third problem was that its costs were too high.
16
That meant it was not making enough profits on its sales.
17
Crafts management came up with a bold plan to tackle these issues.
18
It started with a takeover bid for the chocolate maker Cadbury.
19
Cadbury had a 200-year history of making chocolate in the UK.
20
Its products were well-established around the world, especially in emerging markets.
21
There was clearly an attraction of having an even larger portfolio of internationally recognised brands
22
that they could seek to take into different markets.
23
So, inevitably, attracting a bigger international audience was part of Kraft's interest in Cadbury's.
24
Kraft took a gamble that combining the operations of two established companies would be successful and solve another one of its problems.
25
Kraft's primary interest in Cadbury was it enabled it to,
26
because it became a bigger company, essentially cut costs.
27
Where there was overlap between the two companies, it found a way of saving money and increasing therefore the profit margin
28
that it was able to get from each one of its products.
29
The second stage of the strategic solution was a merger.
30
Kraft merged with another food giant, Heinz, and became the Kraft Heinz company.
31
The merger created the world's fifth largest food company.
32
As with the Cadbury deal, there was an opportunity to cut costs.
33
There were other potential advantages, which helped to solve Kraft's problems.
34
Heinz was considered more innovative in its development of new product lines that met changing consumer preference.
35
The immediate results were positive.
36
The Kraft Heinz company's share price rose 17% on news of the merger.
37
The combined company has been successful in cutting costs.
38
Looking at the Kraft story, it is clear the solutions involved considerable risks.
39
Takeovers and mergers do not always work.
40
Irene Rosenfeld was Kraft's chief executive.
41
She was responsible for the company's strategy.
42
I think there were a number of folks that we're questioning our acquisition of Cadbury.
43
We said it was going to be important to us to expand our portfolio, to expand our footprint, particularly in developing markets, and it's played out that way.
44
We are very much on track with the integration.
45
It's enabled us to outperform our peers around the world.
46
For Kraft Heinz, it seems that the risks paid off, but finding solutions to large corporate problems is not straightforward,
47
and taking risks can lead to business failures as well as successes.

इस वीडियो का व्याकरण
वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:
| संरचना | वीडियो में |
|---|---|
| Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है | had been squeezed · was considered |
| Past continuous was/were + -ing — बीते समय के किसी क्षण में चल रहा काम | was seeing · was making · was missing |
| ज़रूरत: must / have to / need to बताना कि कोई काम ज़रूरी है | have to take · have to anticipate · had to tackle |
ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण
- “sh” और “zh” की ध्वनियाँ: confectionery /kənˈfɛkʃənəɹi/, attraction /əˈtɹækʃn̩/, integration /ˌɪn.tɪˈɡɹeɪ.ʃən/, acquisition /ˌæk.wɪˈzɪʃ.ən/
- लंबे शब्द — बलाघात सही रखें: portfolio /pɔːtˈfəʊ.liˌəʊ/, confectionery /kənˈfɛkʃənəɹi/, anticipate /ænˈtɪs.ɪ.peɪt/, inevitably /ɪˈnɛvɪtəbli/, innovative /ˈɪn.əˌveɪtɪv/
हिंदी भाषियों के लिए मुश्किल ध्वनियाँ:
- /v/ और /w/ का फ़र्क़ — /v/ में ऊपर के दाँत निचले होंठ को छूते हैं, /w/ में होंठ गोल होते हैं: overlap /ˌəʊvəˈlæp/, straightforward /ˌstɹeɪtˈfɔː(ɹ)wə(ɹ)d/, inevitably /ɪˈnɛvɪtəbli/, squeeze /skwiːz/, innovative /ˈɪn.əˌveɪtɪv/
- /z/ — इसे “ज” (/dʒ/) न बनाएँ: squeeze /skwiːz/, acquisition /ˌæk.wɪˈzɪʃ.ən/
- शब्द की शुरुआत में s + व्यंजन — पहले “इ” न जोड़ें: straightforward /ˌstɹeɪtˈfɔː(ɹ)wə(ɹ)d/, snack /snæk/, squeeze /skwiːz/
इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें
- पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
- सामान्य गति पर एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें और हर वाक्य तब तक दोहराएँ जब तक आपकी लय वक्ता से न मिल जाए।
- अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर merger, biscuit, dairy जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
