Ride Your Bike If You Like 跨上自行車 世界任我馳騁
Take a look at the Tour de France.
來看看環法自由車賽是怎麼一回事吧。


    

  Along with the Olympic Games and the World Cup, the Tour de France is one of the world’s greatest sporting events. Every July, riders from across the globe race for team and individual glory. Today, the race begins just across the French border in the mountains of Belgium and ends at the famous Champs-Elysees in Paris. The Tour de France now reaches millions of viewers each year, but what many people might not know is that it was originally designed to sell newspapers.
  In 1903, the sports newspaper L’Auto was doing poorly. One young writer had the bright idea of holding a cycling race through France. A multi-day event would naturally sell more papers. With this in mind, L’Auto planned the first tour which, at 19 days, was the longest cycling event to date. The first tour had under 80 competitors, and fewer than 30 of them finished. Yet it achieved its goal, saving L’Auto. Each year, the tour grew larger.
  While most attention is focused on the individual winner, it’s a team sport, too. Teams protect their leader, and others compete for various prizes, including classifications for speed on flat land or in the mountains, as well as the best time for young riders. Catch this year’s Tour from July 6th to 28th.

多多益善
本文中的單字 multi-day event 中的 multi- 為前綴詞的用法,表「多的,多方面的;種種的」,其後可加形容詞、名詞或動詞,有時候也會省略「-」符號、前後合成一字。如:multilayer(ed)(a. 多層的)、multifunction(al)(a. 多功能的)、multitask(vi. 同時進行多項任務)。來看看如何應用於例句吧!

  環法自由車賽與奧運及世界盃足球賽同為世上最盛大的運動賽事之一。每年七月,來自全球的自行車手為了團隊及個人的榮耀而參賽。現今,該賽事起點就在跨越法國邊界的比利時群山上,並以巴黎知名的香榭麗舍大道為終點。環法自由車賽每年已達數百萬人觀看,但不為多數人所知的是,該賽事原先用意是為了賣報紙。
  1903 年,當時的法國體育報紙《汽車》銷量極差。一名年輕作家有了舉辦一場環繞法國的自行車賽的好主意。一場為期多天的運動賽事自然而然會賣出更多的報紙。以此為用意出發,《汽車》籌劃了首場為期十九天的巡迴賽,也是截至當時賽時最久的自行車賽。首次的巡迴賽只有不到八十人參賽,而且其中不到三十位選手完成比賽。但這卻達成了拯救《汽車》的目標。而該巡迴賽也年年壯大。
  雖然焦點大多都放在個別贏家上,但這也是一項團隊運動。團隊會保護主將,而其他人則是為了眾多獎項而相互競技,包含各種於平地或是高山賽段的速度分級項目,同時也有給年輕車手的最佳時間記錄等項目。可別錯過了今年從七月六日到二十八日的賽事。

要如何做到策略創新?
身為企業領導人或經理人,最重要的責任就是讓公司永續經營下去,因此,「策略」顯得格外重要。真正的策略應該是動態的,不能只在既有架構上求精進,而是在策略上向上提升,做到「策略創新」。
