12 - Get SS, individually, to read the categories: intelligence and ability,
emotional stability and conscientiousness.
- Ask a couple of individual SS if they agree with the categories.
12
- Ask if any SS would like to suggest any other categories. If SS do have other catego-
ries to suggest, write them on the board.
- Divide the class into pairs or groups of three.
- Tell SS to work together to sort the fourteen adjectives into the three categories.
- When most pairs have finished, go through the exercise with the class, writing the
solution on the board.
intelligence/ability: bright; astute; clever; sharp; slow

emotional stability: calm; easy-going; moody; neurotic; quick-tempered
conscientiousness: reliable; hard-working; punctual; responsible
 Ask SS to add as many extra words to each category as they can in two minutes.
 Get SS to call out their extra words and write them on the board in the appropriate
category in the table you drew earlier.
 For follow up, elicit the names of five famous people from SS and write them on
the board. In pairs, SS decide which of the adjectives apply to each person. When
most pairs have finished, ask some SS what they decided.
 Alternatively, get each S to write down the name of a famous person. If you have a
large class, divide it into groups of five or six SS. In turns, SS describe the person-
ality of the celebrity they have thought of to the other members of their group
without saying his/her name. The others try to guess who they are describing.

I Why should companies be ethical or what are the advantages of a company in behav-
ing ethically?
CB Mm. I think the whole issue of ethics is a very complex one.
Companies are made up of people. Multinationals are made up of many different national-
ities. I think that companies are part of society and as such they should reflect society's
standards. Companies, especially multinational ones, do have responsibilities in the world
and should try to be a positive influence and I think if a company is not ethical, then it will
not survive as a company.
I Should a company have a code of ethics?
CB I think from my point of view it's useful on two counts. Firstly, it makes a commit-
ment to certain good behaviour and so it's a way of communicating the importance of
good behaviour to all of it's employees and partners. Secondly, if a company has a code of
ethics and spends time communicating it, it docs actually contribute to it's ethical behav-
iour. If you express these things in writing, especially, then you can be held accountable
for them. This tends to mean that you are much more likely to act on them as well. I think
following up that code is difficult. People tend to have different ethical standards, and de-
fining the term 'ethics' can I think be a problem. But I think generally to express what your
ethics are is a positive thing to do.
15
12 1) ‘Firstly, it makes a commitment to certain good behaviour and so it’s a way
of communicating the importance of good behaviour to all of its employees
and partners.’
2) ‘If you express these things in writing, especially, then you can be held accounta-
ble for them.’
13 a) ‘When does a facilitation payment become a bribe?’

Tapescript
(I = Interviewer, CB = Claire Bebbington)

I What kinds of moral dilemmas do large companies face? Can you think of any exam-
ples?
CB I think if you were to look at any company's ethical code you would usually find in it
a section about offering bribes and this can be an area where I think people can get them-
selves into hot water. Facilitation payments are part of doing business in many countries,
and bribes are something which most companies are not going to want to get involved in.
Bui when does a facilitation payment become a bribe? And that is a question that can be
quite difficult to answer.
I Can you think of an example where a facilitation payment is clearly a facilitation
payment and not a bribe?
CB I think that there are many examples. When you are paying consultants to make in-
troductions to new business contacts, obviously the reason you choose these consultants is
because they are well placed to give that kind of advice in a particular country. And you're
paying for that introduction.
I Can you give an example of a facilitation which is closer to a bribe?
CB I would say size is important. Sometimes facilitation payments are out of proportion
to the kind of business that you are expecting to win. I think there are many instances. Al-
so, you have to be careful with issues such as nepotism.
b) The example she gives of a facilitation payment is ‘When you are paying consultants to
make introductions to new business contacts, obviously the reason you choose these con-
sultants is because they are well placed to give that kind of advice in a particular country.’
She also points out that the size of the payment is an issue: ‘Sometimes facilitation pay-
ments are out of proportion to the kind of business that you are expecting to win.’ This
may be an indication that something greater is at stake.
c) Individual SS’ answers

A facilitation payment is money paid to speed a process along, but one which is not actu-
ally a bribe because it is done openly. However, it may not be part of any official proce-
dure. For example, a supermarket wishing to build a new store in a district where there is
resistance may offer to make a donation to the local school. A multinational eager to im-
press a local politician may offer political financing in a deal which is – superficially at
least – entirely separate from the business at hand. A bribe happens in secret, but the line
between the two is not always clear, particularly when, for instance, political parties may
be under no legal obligation to divulge the names of their donors.

Introduce the topic by asking students to present a typical company structure, writing their
ideas on the board in the form of a chart. This could be a famous local company or one
they have worked for. This will help students visualise the structure of a company and
generate vocabulary they already know. Ask students to read through the Key vocabulary
section and introduce the organisation chart, presenting the hierarchy from top to bottom,
allowing students to comment on how it compares to their own diagram. Ensure that stu-
dents understand the words in bold. Ask them to fill the gaps in the exercise below after
listening to the record.
1) The shareholders 5) Board of Directors
2) management 6) Chairperson or President
3) workforce 7) Managing Director or Chief Executive Officer

Tapescript
- So you would like to buy our pumps. What information exactly would you like to
know?
- Firstly I’d like to ask you about technical characteristics of your product.
- Well, we have 2 main types of pumps. The pumps of type A are intended to pump
over liquids with low viscosity. Their capacity is about 3 kW. The pumps of type
B are used to for viscous liquids and soles and their capacity is 5 kW.
- That’s wonderful! Could you tell about discounts? Does your company have any
discount system?
- Certainly. If you buy 50 pumps you will get 10% discount, and if you buy more
than 100 pumps you’ll get 30% discount.
- And what about dispatch?
- You will get pumps in 3 days.
- What about methods of payment? Should I pay by letter of credit or by bank draft?
- You may choose any way you like. But if you pay by banker’s draft you will get
insurance free.
- OK. I’ll buy 100 A-pumps.
- All right. It’s nice to deal with you.

energy (in the form of heat).
When coal burns, carbon re-
acts with oxygen to yield car-
bon dioxide and heat. The
higher the carbon content, the
greater the energy released in
combustion. Burning releases
energy when bonds between
the atoms break and when
carbon and hydrogen atoms

(The interview with a professor at Queen's University Belfast, UK – A Prasanna de
Silva.) (Chem. Technol., 2009,6. T25-T32 T29)
What led you to specialise in supramolecular chemistry?
The philosophical breadth of supramolecular chemistry, especially in the hands of Jean-
Marie Lehn and Seiji Shinkai, was clear to see during the early 1980s. Around this time,
I had just completed my PhD research in organic photochemistry at Queen's University
Belfast under Jim Grimshaw. Combiningphotochemistry with supramolecular chemistry
permitted the fluorescence signalling of alkali metal ions-a virgin field at the time.
Your research helped develop blood diagnostic cassettes. How does this chemistry
work?
Fluorescent molecular sensors can gather information about atomic or molecular behav-
iour from environments of nanometre dimensions. We developed sensors which contain
a fluorescent unit and a receptor unit joined through a spacer module. This
supermolerale loses its fluorescence capability owing to an inter-module photoinduced
electron transfer (PET) quite similar to that seen in green plant photosynthesis. This PET
56
process is stopped the moment the receptor module captures its target, for example a
sodium ion, thereby switching the suppressed fluorescence back on. Thus the fluores-
cence signal measures the concentration level of the target species.
In collaboration with Roche Diagnostics (now Optimedical), we produced fluorescent
PET sensors held inside small plastic cassettes. These sensors respond to various blood
gases and electrolytes and are used in hospital critical care units, ambulances, general
practice surgeries and even veterinary environments. The cassettes have had sales of
over 55 million US dollars so far.
You have said in the past that you persuade molecules to perform arithmetic oper-
ations. What you mean by this?
Conventional silicon-based logic devices use electric voltages as the inputs and outputs.
The first examples of molecular logic gates used chemical species such as protons and
sodium ions as inputs along with fluorescence as the output. Nathan McClenaghan and I
designed molecules which could perform the computation of adding one and one to get
two. Though elementary, this computation is understandable to virtually everyone on the
planet. So, persuading molecules to do arithmetic was an important early step on the
journey of molecular logic and computation.
What is the next bigt hing that you would like to tackle in your lab?
Molecular logic and computation is a young field with a need to prove itself in different
ways. Demonstratingreal-life applications which conventional silicon-based
computingcannot do would be one such avenue. We have already shown an application
where a population of small micrometric objects are given identification tags made up of
molecular logic gates. This is a bit like faces on people or number plates on cars except
everything is a lot smaller. Such molecular computational identification (MOD) can ad-
dress far smaller objects than those handled conveniently by the popular RFID (radiof-
requency identification) technology. We now need to generalize this MCID technique
and broaden its applicability.
What is hot at the moment in your research area?

Molecular computingor data processingin small spaces is the hot topic. These molecular
devices will reach where silicon devices cannot easily go, whether it be inside living
cells, on the surface of plastic beads or inside detergent micelles.
Which scientist, current or historic, do you most admire and why?

Thomas Andrews was the first professor of chemistry at the then Queen's College of
Belfasi 150 years ago. Even1 time water turns to vapou г о г ice, I am reminded of this
man's work on the effects of temperature and pressure on materials. Also at that time,
George Boole at University College Cork. Ireland laid the foundations of modern com-
puting with his ideas on logic and algebra. These two giants in the north and the south of
a small island changed the way the world worked.
If you weren't a scientist, what would you do?

I would have to be a percussionist. I have pi ayed all my life and, like many Sri Lankan
kids, I got my grounding in rhythm at a young age. Northern Ireland, with its rich musi-
cal tradition, was a great place to put that rhythm to use. It was a just matter of
57
timebefore I was introduced to a band where a Sri Lankan percussionist could blend
with Irish fiddles, flutes, banjos, bodhrans and voices. We have enjoyed playing together
for the last 13 years, even though I have been advised to hold onto my day job!
