Outsourcing is the practice of obtaining from an independent supplier a product or service that a company has previously provided for itself. Vernon, Inc., a small manufacturing company that has in recent years experienced a decline in its profits, plans to boost its profits by outsourcing those parts of its business that independent suppliers can provide at lower cost than Vernon can itself.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the prediction that Vernon's plan will achieve its goal?
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the prediction that Vernon's plan will achieve its goal?
(A) Among the parts of its business that Vernon does not plan to outsource are some that require standards of accuracy too high for most independent suppliers to provide at lower cost than Vernon can.

(B) Vernon itself acts as an independent supplier of specialized hardware items to certain manufacturers that formerly made those items themselves.
(C) Relatively few manufacturers that start as independent suppliers have been able to expand their business and become direct competitors of the companies they once supplied.
(D) Vernon plans to select the independent suppliers it will use on the basis of submitted bids.
(E) Attending to certain tasks that Vernon performs relatively inefficiently has taken up much of the time and effort of top managers whose time would have been better spent attending to Vernon's core business.
D为什么不行啊? 竞价的方式可以降成本降到最低 利润不就上升了么?
E怎么support了?

When a polygraph test is judged inconclusive, this is no reflection on the examinee. Rather, such a judgment means that the test has failed to show whether the examinee was truthful or untruthful. Nevertheless, employers will sometimes refuse to hire a job applicant because of an inconclusive polygraph test result.
Which of the following conclusions can most properly be drawn from the information above?
(A) Most examinees with inconclusive polygraph test results are in fact untruthful.
(B) Polygraph tests should not be used by employers in the consideration of job applicants.
(C) An inconclusive polygraph test result is sometimes unfairly held against the examinee.
(D) A polygraph test indicating that an examinee is untruthful can sometimes be mistaken.
(E) Some employers have refused to consider the results of polygraph tests when evaluating job applicants.
D错在了那里?
谢谢~
36:不要随便做题目没有给出的推论。谁说“submitted bids”就一定意味着你可以拿到低价?我竞的是质量、服务或者交货期行不?E说的是原来V在非核心业务上花了太多的时间,现在如果把这些非核心业务都外包出去,当然可以让V的管理者们有更多时间回归主业,从而提高performance,很好的支持啊。
53:tricky question!题目没有说P Test判定一个考试者Untruthful时会怎么样,而只是说当P Test得不出结论时会怎么样,微妙的差别。
辛苦ls gg了 连着解决了我三道题~太赞了~~
多谢了~~
(C) Relatively few manufacturers that start as independent suppliers have been able to expand their business and become direct competitors of the companies they once supplied
請問C選項為什麼錯呀?
這不是告訴我們說OUTSOURING 也不怕SUPPLIER 會跟自己比嗎
不懂
难题啊,好象解释都不是很充分,不过E看起来还是比较符合一点.

我也奇怪 为什么C 不对?但是我E 想明白了
C和E都好像有支持的意味.
不过如果钻牛角尖的话,其实对于E来说,难道经理们把时间多花在核心业务上,就一定能增加利润吗?说不定还亏损呢
题干的结论是:把效率低的业务外包出去会提高利润。
问支持的选项。
C没有直接支持. 因为无论independent suppliers是否expand their business,只要外包的话,Vernon都可以增加利润。
题目没说把效率低的外包出去啊,只是说by outsourcing those parts of its business that independent suppliers can provide at lower cost than
效率低是怎么得出来的呢?
顶
C说few manufacturers 会成为竞争者,只是说不存在竞争问题,不代表成本会减少,属于无关选项。
36题C选项更有evaluate的感觉。竞争和成本并没有明确的关系。只要成本比自己做下降,就有利可图,不管有没有竞争。但是如果成本并不比自己低,那就无利可图。
E选项说经理们可以放更多心思在核心项目上,至少对收入是正向的作用,因此对利润也是一个正向作用。
C.这个选项都没提outsourcing,不管对不对都没关系
E.正确。如果这个选项所说的是正确的,那么Vernon将inefficient的部分外包出去,让top manager专注core business,会提高效率从而提高revenue从而提高profit。
这个题目里边是用outsourcing的手段来达到profit增长的目的。我们知道profit=revenue-cost,所以只要答案有加强revenue会增长或者cost会降低的作用就对了。

C不能这样就排除吧? 跟E比起来,E的支持方向更明确而已
most strongly supports the prediction that
我也是在CE之间举棋不定 我觉得这里完全是矮子里拔将军的问题
C是说采用outsourcing策略不会为企业培养出来竞争对手,(所以我们自己会加上一步主观推断:这样有利于利润增加,但不一定),而E在含义上则要直接得多,采用这样的策略可以增加CEO投入在主业上的时间
在查C为什么不对,但忽然就理解了。
因为C说的是manufacturer,但谁也没有说外包的供应商supplier必须是manufacturer,一般公司可以外包IT、采购、HR、Finance、Admin...
所以C无关。
个人在C和E之间摇摆,因为两个中间都要用外部信息多推一步
文中逻辑:outsourcing->boost profit
C: 外包商不会成为竞争对手->不影响boost profit
E: 低效费时工作外包—>经理更多照顾核心业务->boost profit
但E还有一个缺点,我们怎么知道这些低效费时的工作就一定能够外包啊?!我个人感觉这是又一个外部信息
