But they are ultimately the biggest deception that exists in the fashion industry today. What are they They are high heels — a woman’s worst enemy (whether she knows it or not). High heel shoes are the downfall of modem society. Fashion myths have led women to believe that they are more beautiful or sophisticated for wearing heels, but in reality, heels succeed in posing short as well as long term hardships.

m公司是一个跨国经营的大公司，多年来积极开拓国际市场并取得了辉煌的战绩。然而，其在本国巨大市场的竞争中却逐渐处于劣势，近几年公司一直靠着国际市场的巨大盈余维持公司的正常运转，形成了“墙内开花墙外香”的局面，正如公司的一位副总裁所说：“m公司国际形势看好，但在国内却有点抬不起头来。”
1994年，公司的新总裁史密斯上任后，确立了“继续开拓国际市场，国内市场打翻身仗”的战略，经过两年多时间的努力，m公司不仅走出了困境，而且凭借其雄厚的竞争实力，战胜了其主要的竞争对手，重新夺回了国内市场占有率第一的宝座，市场占有率超过主要竞争对手两个百分点，达到了36%。
m公司能够在短短的两年多时间里东山再起，秘密何在?
首先，大胆启用能人。史密斯上任伊始，决定对国内的运作机制进行彻底改组，大胆启用人才，对以汤姆为代表的一批管理精英委以重任。汤姆现年44岁，是哈佛工商管理学院的mBA毕业生、公司内公认的管理奇才，此前曾担任南美分部的经理，任职期间该地区的销售额翻了一番，利润增加了3倍。回公司本部任职时，得到了总裁史密斯的承诺：准许他从各国际分部选用任何他认为合适的人作为副手，因而他启用了曾有多国工作经验，现任欧洲分部市场部经理的韦伯，并以两人为主组成了“国内市场抢救工作队”，在以后的两年时间里，在这一批精英的参与下，m公司终于从根本上扭转了国内市场严重受挫的经营状况。
第二，提高工作效率。汤姆和韦伯针对企业效率低的问题，首先关闭了五家低效的工

第三，推出拳头产品。拳头产品是企业在竞争中站稳脚跟的根本。m公司一直从事多种产品的生产和经营，清洁剂是公司的支柱产业，现在公司1/3以上的年收入来自这类产品。从1995年起，公司看准了国
