Translation

a) Translate the following passage from English into Russian paying attention to business vocabulary.

If one person sets up and runs the company, the form of ownership is called ‘sole trader’. The person provides all the capital and has unlimited liability for business debts, even if this means selling personal assets.

In a limited company (AmE corporation), the capital is divided into shares, which are held by shareholders. Shareholders have limited liability, but they can vote at the Annual General Meeting to elect the Board of Directors. There are two types of limited company:

1) in a private limited company, all shareholders must agree before any shares can be bought or sold.

2) in a public limited company, shares are bought and sold freely, for example, on the stock exchange.

A partnership is created when a group of people provide the capital, set up the company and manage it together. There are two types of partnership:

1. 
   Partners in an unlimited partnership are like sole traders – if the business fails they are fully liable for all debts, and may even have to sell personal assets.
   
2. 
   In a limited partnership there can be sleeping partners who do not participate in the management of the company. Sleeping partners have limited liability – in the event of bankruptcy, they only lose their investment, not their personal assets.
   

b) Translate the following passage into English using your active vocabulary.

Из-за многообразия фирм их принято группировать, различая по разным признакам:

по размерам – малые, средние, крупные;

по отраслевой принадлежности – промышленные, строительные, финансовые, инвестиционные, страховые и пр.;

по организационной структуре – линейная, функциональная и пр. Линейное и функциональное руководство – это система управления в крупных организациях, где существуют две самостоятельные иерархии: линейное руководство включает линейных руководителей, отвечающих за определение политики и выполнение основных функций организации(таких, как производство, сбыт и т.п.), в то время как функциональное руководство и самостоятельные функциональные руководители отвечают за обеспечение необходимых для этого условий, таких , как материально-техническое и финансовое обслуживание, складирование, бухгалтерский учёт, транспорт, все вопросы кадрового обеспечения и политики, эксплуатации и ремонта оборудования.

На практике применяются все перечисленные группировки и целый ряд других. Однако определяющий критерий разделения фирм – форма собственности. В этом случае в рамках частной собственности можно выделить три вида (три формы) фирм:

индивидуальная (семейная) фирма;

товарищество;

корпорация.

Каждая из этих форм различается по четырём признакам: по числу собственников, по степени ответственности, по способу привлечения капитала, по характеру распределения доходов.
