Nowhere is this more true than in business. Just look at the list of Fortune 500 companies from 50 years ago. You might be surprised by how many of those well-known companies are now gone. So what&#8217;s the difference between a company that survives and one that dies? A lot of it is about how they manage change. <\/p>\n<p>In this lesson, we&#8217;ll listen to a meeting featuring three colleagues who are trying to figure out how to restructure their company. During the discussion, you&#8217;ll hear lots of useful expressions that we call &#8220;collocations.&#8221; And what is a collocation? Well, it&#8217;s just a group of words that go together naturally. You heard me use the expression &#8220;restructure a company.&#8221; That&#8217;s a collocation. The words go together as one expression. <\/p>\n<p>Native speakers learn collocations naturally. They simply repeat expressions that they&#8217;ve heard hundreds of times. If English is your second language, however, it might not come so automatically. But, by studying collocations, you can improve your vocabulary and sound more fluent at the same time. As you listen to today&#8217;s conversation, try to pick out some of these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessenglishpod.com\/category\/english-collocations\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">business English collocations<\/a> and we&#8217;ll discuss them later in the debrief.<\/p>\n<p>In the dialog, we&#8217;ll hear Jake, Finn, and Lauren. The company they founded has grown, and now they need to carefully manage the transition to a larger company.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Listening Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.\tWhat does Finn think is required to manage change in their company?<br \/>\n2.\tWhat does Lauren say is the first step in change management?<br \/>\n3.\tWhat does Jake believe is driving change in the company?<\/p>\n<p>[tp
