BEP 272 – Collocazioni inglesi per discutere di strategia aziendale (1)

BEP 272 - Inglese per discutere di strategia 1

Welcome back to Business English Pod for today’s lesson on English collocations per discutere di strategia aziendale.

Look behind any successful business and what will you find? Good strategy and wise planning. Good strategy involves understanding the environment, the market, the customers, and the competition. And good planning means taking all that knowledge and deciding how to compete now and into the future.

In questa lezione, we’ll hear how the executives in a food company discuss business strategy. And as they strategize, the speakers will use some useful expressions that we call “collocations.” Learning English collocations will help you improve your vocabulary and sound more natural. So what exactly is a collocation? Well, it’s just a group of words that we commonly use together. For example, we often say “reach a goal.” It sounds natural, because that’s what people say. But what about: “grasp a goal” or “arrive at a goal?” Well, those don’t sound natural because they’re not common combinations or collocations.

As you listen to the discussion, try to pick out some of these collocations and we’ll discuss them later in the debrief.

In the dialog, we’ll hear Anne, Jenny, and Max, executives at a food company called Healthy Organics. I relatori sono andati in ritiro per un fine settimana per cercare di creare una buona strategia per spostare la loro azienda nel futuro. Parleranno della loro visione e di un piano strategico di crescita.
