Due to the comprehensiveness of China’s “reform and open” policies,economics plays an increasingly important role in the development of its globalposition. Though more and more companies built, management of companies cannotcatch up with the development of the companies. Management is a burgeoning fieldin China, so I hope I can acquire more modern knowledge on management inEngland. The roots of my strong interest in business can be traced back to mychildhood. My father was among the first of China’s new breed of modernentrepreneurs. As a young girl, it was inspirational hearing about his businessventures, and meeting the varied and interesting circle of entrepreneurs. Mymother was also involved in business as an accountant, helping him with simplecalculations. And so it was early in my life that I hoped I, also, would somedaybe able to enter the realm of business.
With the time of growing up, I preferred reading books to satisfy mycuriosity. I never ceased to contemplate over the questions I encountered.Subjects on business and management became a special fascination to me and myknowledge of psychology as well as interest in this field was increasingrapidly.
As a high school student in China, I had to concentrate on the CollegeEntrance Examination (CEE), even so, books not related to the exams were neverexcluded from my life. Unfortunately when sitting in the exam in June, Iwas so nervous that I didn’t score well in the CEE exam. I enrolled in thedepartment of Computer Science in Zhejiang College of Traditional ChineseMedicine. Any attempt to persuade myself to focus on my major turned out to be afailure at the beginning of my college life. After several terms, I realizedthat I would never be interested in being a programmer or an engineer. At thatmoment, I lost my direction and objectives.
My persistence in reading saved me from the dark situation. As a matter offact, I enjoyed reading the books included Encyclopedia American, and some booksabout management by Peter F.Drucker. I began to notice something interesting:Why some companies can produce more than others? Why some company can sell morethan others? Why some companies can build up but others cannot when facing thesame difficulties?
With the questions in my mind, I started to read many relevant books. I waslucky to read the book “Jack: Straight from the Gut”by Jack Welch, in Which JohnA. Byrne makes a clear illustration that the management is important for acompany. When I was a junior, I ran a bookshop by myself near my school. Ishould manage not only the finance in the shop but also the employees in my shopeven made some strategies to enlarge the business in my shop to hold on the runthe shop. From this, my interpersonal skills and the capacity in business hasbeen greatly developed, definitely I was increasingly interested in what I wasdoing. By December, I had finally determined to take business managementas my career instead of IT. To accumulate more relevant knowledge, I strived togain more practical work experience in some big companies.
Fortunately, as a senior, I began by conducting an internship in theArchitecture Company in Zhejiang Province. Over six months, I worked as anassistant of the manager to harmonize the relationship between the differentdepartments in this company and to draft some management system, which broadenedmy perspective of management conditions and business performance in differentindustries. The experience showed me that management is much more important thanthat of I thought in big companies. After graduation, I continued my work inthis company. In May, the company offered me an opportunity to participatein an training program held by a famous management school. Through in-depthdiscussions with teachers and students in the classes, they all encouraged me topursue my future career in management field because of my intellectual abilityand the brand new ideas I mentioned.
During the short period of training, I realized that pursuing a higherdegree in management is a wise choice for me now. Lancaster, with its excellencein management, represents the perfect fit for my needs. In your challengingenvironment, I can build the required foundation of knowledge related tomanagement to achieve my goals. I am firmly convinced that your admission willbe my first step of success. With this in mind, I hereby submit my application,and await your favorable reply.
Applied Program:Organizational Behavior
I am interested in the field of study of Organizational Behavior. In thepast, I have had the experience of working in settings where the people and thecorporate cultures of the companies were all different. I have found that thereis a great difference in the both the behaviors of people and of theirorganizations, depending on whether they are state-owned enterprises (SOEs),large multinational firms, or small to medium sized foreign enterprises. Onesimple example is that of the ability of an employee to act independentlywithout direct instructions from his or her boss. In many Chinese organizations,acting without direct instructions is considered a form of disrespect towardsthe supervisor, who is generally offended by such behavior. In my experience andresearch, such organizations tend to have low operating efficiency with theemployees losing their innate ability to take the initiative.
In contrast, foreign enterprises tend to welcome employees who have theability to make decisions on their own, though the extent to which this is truedepends on whether the supervisor is a local Chinese or an expatriate. Theseorganizat Applied Program:Organizational Behavior

尊敬的领导:
您好,我是动画学院20--级数字媒体艺术2班学生彭--(学号:---),由于在20--~20--学年第二学期的中国近代史纲要期末考试中,携带小抄作弊,学校给予留校察看处分。我的行为给学校的同学和自己带来了损失,影响极坏。在这一年半里,我认真作自我反省、努力学习,同学的帮助和老师的耐心教育使我终于认识到事情的严重性,受益颇多,思想有了提高,学习也有巨大进步。按学校规定,已向学校申请取消处分。
在这一年半的时间里,我努力学习,改过自新,积极准备北京师范大学的考研,现在初试复试已经考试结束,正在等待录取结果。由于当时思想懒散,怀有侥幸心理,终成大错,现在我深深地后悔我那时的错误表现。但世界上没有后悔药,改正不良习惯和纠正错误才是最根本的。后来,老师找我谈过,进行了思想交流。我虚心接受老师的批评和建议。
考试作弊违反了学校纪律,严重影响了班级和学院的集体。我为自己做的错事感到内疚,至今后悔莫及,唯有改正错误才能弥补以往的过失。做任何事都应该诚信为本。人无完人,都有自己做错事的时候,重要是自己犯的错主动承认错误,及时改正,以免再犯相同的错。从那以来,一直对自己进行反思,对这个事情认真分析,认真总结经验教训。
现在我有了很大的进步。经过努力的学习,我的英语已过通过了大学英语四级,我也努力地掌握专业基础知识,各科学习成绩良好,已在《商情》期刊上公开发表两篇论文,目前也正在北京实习当中。
因此,我衷心希望校领导能给我这个改过的机会,恳请老师准予我重新申请学位。我将改过自新,努力学习,以积极向上的态度面对生活和人生。
此致
敬礼!
